Product Description

Product Description

The pull-down spray wand comes free with a gentle tug and gives you total flexibility. The hose extends and retracts without friction points, fed by gravity. As you raise the wand to dock it, the magnet embedded in the spout pulls the wand precisely into place. So, unlike other pull-downs that tend to droop over time, MagnaTite® keeps your pull-down faucet looking picture-perfect. Delta's exclusive DIAMOND Seal® Technology uses a valve with a tough diamond coating. InnoFlex® PEX waterways keep water inside the faucet out of contact with potential metal contaminants. This powerful combination brings you a faucet built to last up to five million uses. Only Delta faucets are equipped with Touch-Clean® soft, rubber nubbins that allow you to easily wipe away calcium and lime build-up with the touch of a finger.

From the Manufacturer

The Classic kitchen offering provides a practical, hardworking solution that will stand the test of time, every time. Delta faucets complement the way you move throughout the day and help to bring your individuality to life. Diamonds are the hardest substance known to man, and DIAMOND(TM) Seal Technology takes full advantage of this property. Delta's exclusive DIAMOND(TM) Seal Technology uses a valve with a tough diamond coating to bring you a faucet built to last up to 5 million uses - plus it keeps water inside the faucet out of contact with potential metal contaminants.

Delta Faucet Kate Single-Handle Kitchen Sink install experience

Delta Faucet Kate Single-Handle Kitchen Sink install experience
I recently purchased and installed the "Delta Faucet Kate Single-Handle Kitchen Sink Faucet with Pull Down Sprayer, Soap Dispenser and Magnetic Docking Spray Head, Chrome 16970-SD-DST", after purchasing on Amazon through Delta. See attached pictures. The new Delta replaced an old Price Pfister Avalon Single-Handle Kitchen Faucet.The kitchen sink is double basin stainless steel (fairly thin material) and has 4 holes. The new Delta Kate faucet only required 3 of the 4 holes since the sprayer pulls down from the main faucet, instead of a separate sprayer (I ordered a Tatuo Sink Tap Hole Cover Kitchen Faucet Hole Cover Stainless Steel 1.2 to 1.6 Inch in Diameter to cover the 4th hole) as can be seen in the pictures on the far right side.If you are installing the Delta Kate faucet in a thin material sink like stainless steel, you will need the stabilization / isolation plate (not included in the $160.00 faucet box / parts) I was able to find and order the stabilization plate "Delta part number RP37490" from Amazon as well. This is a thick piece of plastic with 3 holes that goes under the stainless steel sink to "firm up" and help distribute the weight / sturdiness of the Delta faucet being installed on top. (I attached a picture under the sink showing the stabilization plate-- 3rd picture showing black plate). Not to say you cant install this faucet without it, but the faucet may bend the thin stainless steel without it. If you war installing this faucet in garnet or quarts counter top, the plate is not necessary (as that type of sink / material is fairly thick and sturdy to begin with).Overall, I am happy with the faucet so far-- the install was fairly easy (about 45 min for me), once the old faucet was removed (honestly think it took me more time to remove the old faucet then install the new one).The install instructions are sometimes hard to follow (no overall parts list with pictures), and the instructions cover several different models of faucet (so some steps apply to the Delta Kate model, and some do not).The hot/cold water connection hoses from the Delta faucet are about 2 feet long and like a PVC/Rubber bendable material (which you can shorten if required).I would point out that the 2 water connection hoses from the Delta faucet are 3/8" and can connect directly to your hot/cold water lines if they have 3/8" fittings. (if your water line connections are a different size, you may need adaptors).Overall I am satisfied with the Delta faucet and the install.My recommendations to Delta:I would like to see the Stabilization plate packaged with the faucet or perhaps during checkout (recommend that for stainless steel sinks the stabilization plate should also be added/purchased). Perhaps make the soap dispenser pump handle metal as the facute and water control handles (as opposed to plastic, as soap dispenser plastic handle seems like it could easily break or crack if it gets hit when cleaning a large pot or pan). Consider making the water connection lines with braided flexible water hose connecters. Organize install instructions by specific faucet model so the steps are followed in a logical order. (currently there are multiple steps inter mixed like step 2a, b and c but step b and c apply to a different Delta faucet model etc... some steps refer to removing the water aerator from the faucet end, and the box includes a tool to do this. However, the Delta Kate model does not have an aerator in the end of the faucet-- since this model has a retractable magnetic docking spray head).I bought the Delta faucet (as opposed to lower cost brands) for quality and lifetime warranty. So please keep the quality to a high standard. I would rather pay a few more dollars for a better quality product, and do not want to replace the faucet for 20 or 30 years :)
