How does Touch2O interact with the spring spout on the 9678T-DST?
Touch2O operates identically on the spring spout model as on standard gooseneck models. Touch anywhere on the metallic spout body — including through the coil spring section — to activate or deactivate flow. The spring's natural flexibility does not affect touch sensor performance.
