Product Technologies:

  • MagnaTite Docking: Delta's patented MagnaTite Docking Technology uses a powerful integrated magnet to securely hold your Delta kitchen faucet's pull-down spray in place when not in use. A light tug releases the wand for total flexibility and a full range of motion. When docking the wand after use, the MagnaTite Docking mechanism will guide the spray securely back into place.
  • Diamond Seal: Delta DIAMOND Seal Technology utilizes a ceramic disc valve with a real diamond coating to produce a faucet that will last up to 5 million uses. That's an amazing 10 times the industry standard, guaranteeing a lifetime of leak-free, trouble-free performance.
  • Eco Friendly: Through a number of technologies and innovations, Delta’s Eco Friendly faucets achieve the impossible: A faucet that feels like more water, while actually conserving water. There are many advantages to this beyond helping protect our nation’s water resources. First, Delta’s Eco Friendly faucets splash less; you won’t have to wipe your counters as much. Second, they use less hot water, preserving your hot water supply and reducing associated water-heating costs. Third, you will feel a little less guilty leaving the water running for longer periods.
  • Touch Clean: Only Delta offers faucets equipped with Touch Clean soft, rubber nubbins (spray holes) that allow you to easily wipe away calcium and lime build-up with the touch of a finger. This is particularly helpful for areas with hard water.

Product Reviews

Single Handle Kitchen Faucet with Pull-Out Spray, Diamond Seal Technology, and Magnatite Docking from the Leland Collection 5 5 3 4
I bought this faucet about a month ago. Simple to install. Long enough mounting neck for 3mm granite counter top. Operates as advertised, no leaks or problems. I would buy this again September 9, 2011
simplest purchase I made remodeling my home I was in need of a facuet in a few days and searched for a product online. Not only was the product at my door in two days, it was more reasonably priced than the same one available at some stores. The service was wonderful, especially for an item I had to return, and I love my new facuet. I would recommend facutdirect to anyone. December 16, 2010
Good looks, improved design Last year I purchased this same faucet in an earlier design version and was not happy with it. Two phone calls to the manufacturer did not resolve the issue, and I found out later that it could never be resolved because of a flaw in the design--it didn't have a removable aerator. We have hard water and even with a softener, the faucet would clog up with mineral deposits after a couple of months. There was no way to clear out the deposits--I tried the suggestions given to me by the customer service rep, and they didn't work. Then I went shopping for a new faucet and happened to see that Delta had a new version of the same faucet--this time with a removable aerator. A couple of other features were improved as well. I'd always loved the look of this faucet, and I still couldn't find one that I liked (the look of) better. So I decided to buy this model. It's been installed for just a couple of weeks, and at the time of installation I had the installer take out the aerator and put it back in--just to see that it does work. So far, so good. It hasn't started to clog up yet, but when it does, hopefully we'll be able to get it fixed without a hassle. This is a beautiful-looking faucet, and I love everything else about it. October 17, 2009

8 Questions from the Community

Loading nanoRep

what is the pull out hose made of ?

The Delta 978-DST has a hose that is made of plastic.

Does this faucet come with a plate to fill the existing holes in my sink that won't be used?

No this faucet does not come with an Escutcheon plate. You can find them by typing in Escutcheon plates into the search.

Please give me dimension of the faucet, I'm in particular interested in the height.

The Delta 978-DST is 14-1/4" in overall height with a 9-3/16" spout reach. The height to the aerator is 7-18".

Can the handle be put on the left hand side of the faucet?

The Delta 978-DST can be installed with the handle on the left side.

What is the difference between the 9178-DST and the 978DST?

The Delta 978-DST and the Deltea 9178-DST are very similar faucets but have a few differences. The function and quality are the same. Their dimensions are a little different and the handles are placed differently; one on the side and one on the unit. Other than that they are the same.

Does the 9192-SS-DST had a plastic pulldown head?

The majority of pulldown faucet heads like th Delta 978-DST have plastic heads. There are 2 main reasons, one being that if it is metal and dropped in the sink it could damage the sink, and the other is that metal heads get hotter to the touch.

I have this faucet. I am having a problem with it dripping after I shut it off. Or it has a small stream. I have to turn it on and off for it to stop. Is there a part that needs to be replaced? If so can you send it to me?

Hello, please call Delta to trouble shoot the problem. They can help identify the issue. 1-800-345-3358. If you purchased it from us it will be under Delta warranty.

Is arctic stainless like brushed nickel?

Arctic stainless is very close to a brushed nickel finish but a bit lighter.
