The Delta Leland 9178T-DST adds Touch2O technology to the popular transitional Leland pull-down faucet. A simple touch anywhere on the spout or handle starts or stops the flow — invaluable when working with messy ingredients. The faucet remains fully operable via the lever handle as well. Battery powered (6 AA, ~2 years), no electrical installation required. Features include MagnaTite Docking for a secure spray wand return, DIAMOND Seal Technology for a long-life ceramic valve, and Touch-Clean spray holes. Flows at 1.8 GPM, WaterSense certified.
Is the Leland Touch2O harder to install than a standard faucet?
No. The 9178T-DST installs the same way as any single-handle pull-down faucet. The Touch2O electronics are self-contained and battery powered — there is no wiring or electrical connection required. Most homeowners with basic plumbing experience can install it in under an hour.
What happens when the batteries die on the Touch2O Leland?
When batteries are low, a blue light indicator activates to signal replacement is needed. Even with dead batteries, you can still operate the faucet manually via the lever handle. Flow will not stop unexpectedly due to battery failure.
