About this item
- TOUCH ON. TOUCH OFF. Messy hands? Touch anywhere on the kitchen spout with your wrist or forearm to start and stop the flow of water or use the single lever handle manually. Check your water temperature from across the room using the TempSense LED indicator light that changes color to reflect water temperature
- LASTS 2X LONGER: Patented DIAMOND Seal Technology reduces leak points and lasts twice as long as the industry standard—ensuring leak-free operation for the life of the kitchen faucet (Industry standard is based on ASME A112.18.1 of 500,000 cycles)
- MAGNETIC DOCKING: MagnaTite Docking uses a powerful magnet to snap your kitchen sprayer into place so it stays docked and doesn’t droop over time like other kitchen faucets
- EASY TO CLEAN: Delta kitchen faucets with Touch-Clean spray holes allow you to quickly and easily wipe away calcium and lime build-up with a touch of a finger, so no need to soak or use chemical cleaners
- EASY INSTALLATION: Designed to fit single-hole or 3-hole, 8-in. configurations. For 3-hole installation, purchase deck plate RP71545RB separately. InnoFlex PEX supply lines are integrated into the faucet for one less leak point and are conveniently included in the box

Product Description
Product Description
Touch it on. Touch it off. Whether you have two full hands or 10 messy fingers, Delta® Touch2O® Technology helps keep your faucet clean, even when your hands aren’t. A simple touch anywhere on the spout or handle with your wrist or forearm activates the flow of water at the temperature where your handle is set. The Delta TempSense™ LED light changes color to alert you to the water’s temperature and eliminate any possible surprises or discomfort. Delta® MagnaTite® Docking uses a powerful integrated magnet to pull your faucet spray wand precisely into place and hold it there so it stays docked when not in use. Delta® ShieldSpray® Technology cleans with laser-like precision while containing mess and splatter. A concentrated jet powers away stubborn messes while an innovative shield of water contains splatter and clears off the mess, so you can spend less time soaking, scrubbing and shirt swapping. Delta® faucets with DIAMOND™ Seal Technology perform like new for life with a patented design which reduces leak points, is less hassle to install and lasts twice as long as the industry standard*. Kitchen faucets with Touch-Clean® Spray Holes allow you to easily wipe away calcium and lime build-up with the touch of a finger. You can install with confidence, knowing that Delta faucets are backed by our Lifetime Limited Warranty. Electronic parts are backed by our 5-year electronic parts warranty. *Industry standard is based on ASME A112.18.1 of 500,000 cycles.

The faucet is a high-rise pull-down with a switchable aerator/spray head and electronic hands-free on/off. The electronic part is powered by alkaline AA cells (included) and requires no wiring. We had it installed, and our plumber felt that his flat rate for kitchen faucets was appropriate, which means that there is no particular difficulty in installing this faucet. It looks great, works great, and replaces an older discontinued Delta one-hole-installation single-handle pull-down kitchen faucet with no adapters or modifications to our sink or counter top.
The "RB" in the part number refers to the finish, "rubbed bronze." The "rubbed bronze" is a baked-on enamel finish that appears durable, and has a special guarantee for durability. It's quite dark, not a matte gold brass finish. The "DST" refers to the "Cassidy" style line of faucets and accessories. The Delta model 9197T is available in a variety of styles and finishes.
You don't need to use the automatic on/off feature, but if you turn it on and your hands are wet, you can simply touch it with your elbow to turn it off, and back on again. The literature says that it will turn itself off if you leave it on more than two minutes, but we haven't tested that.
We recommend the Delta Faucet 9197T-RB-DST faucet to anyone who wants the elegance and durability of a higher-end Delta kitchen faucet with the automatic off-on feature, and we recommend Amazon.com as a reliable source at a good price with prompt delivery.
The faucet itself is nice and heavy with a beautiful finish that has held up perfectly so far and it looks gorgeous with our new chocolate colored Swanstone sink. The plumber had no problems installing it - just remember that you'll need to keep the undersink area directly below it cleared out so that the counterweight can pull the head back into place.
Location: I have this on my island, which means everyone touches it as they walk by. When we have company over it get accidentally touched all the time. If it was against a wall, this issue would be non-existent.
Kids: My children are older (youngest is 8) and I figured it would be kind of a novelty to be touching the faucet all the time and eventually it would wear off into regular use, which it has. My friend got the same faucet and her children are younger (youngest is 2) and they treat it like a toy with their grubby hands touching it all the time just to see it turn on and off and keeping it clean is driving her nuts.
Why: Why do you need a touch faucet? Is it because it is a neat feature? Is it because your hands are constantly in stuff? It was a little hard for my OCD brain to be okay with the handle in the on position so I can take advantage of the touch feature when I actually need it.
Now onto my observations about the product itself:
Finish: The ORB finish is nice (Delta calls it Venetian bronze), with a lot of "rub" in the oil rubbed, but this finish is exclusive to Delta. Don't argue with me. Oil Rubbed Bronze means different things to different companies (think "red," there are a million variations of "red"). Beware that delta doesn't make soap dispensers or RO dispensers (they have a faucet called a "beverage dispenser" for $$$ that looks like a bathroom faucet, not what I wanted) so your finish will be slightly different on those other sink items should you use them. The RO dispenser was especially difficult to find a good match, so I will have to live with the finish discrepancies.
Installation: My husband hates things that aren't self explanatory, so I did the install myself as I like to follow directions :) The directions were very clear and easy to follow and it only took me 30 minutes including checking/adjusting where I hadn't connected properly.
I have a couple complaints:
1) The battery pack just sits on the bottom of your cabinet...what? no hook, no shelf? It must be two inches from the walls to work properly. I am going to rig up something higher since we have an RO system under the sink along with the normal stuff and there is no guarantee this battery pack won't get shoved against the cabinet or bumped by something that will cause it to "complete the circuit" and turn on the faucet and heaven forbid it get wet!
2) The pull out faucet has a weight on the line, so it returns to position, but the weight is just a heavy ring that slides around. For my island install, the supply lines stick out of the bottom of the cabinet and the ring clanks on the supply valves when I use the pull out. If I hadn't purchased the touch faucet, the line would be higher (the touch solenoid pack lengthens the line) and I wouldn't have this problem. I considered disconnecting the touch, but I paid $$$ for it, so that seemed silly. As a solution, I checked my Moen pull out faucet in the laundry which has a two part weight that you sandwich on the line and fasten together. I am going to use that weight instead so I don't have this stupid ring sliding around clanking into things. Really Delta, c'mon.
3)One other thing to be aware of is that the touch feature is far from silent. When you touch the faucet , the solenoid opens or closes and it make an "oomph" noise every time (think about when your automatic lawn sprinklers turn on...if you are near the valves, you hear them engage and disengage) and really, it is being slammed on and slammed off every time you use the faucet, so it is louder than I expected. Even if you use the handle instead of the touch, the solenoid still has to do it's job and open, so there is no way to quietly turn on the water even a trickle without the "oomph" noise. For my house, this isn't a problem and helps me know if my kids are playing with the faucet (I can hear it from anywhere in my 2200 sq ft house), but my sister in law has to keep her house quiet while her husband sleeps during the day and this would not work for her. I also have to replace the solenoids in my sprinklers every few years, so I would imagine this component in the faucet would be need to be replaced more frequently since it's used harder.
Now I can't figure out why, but when I initially hooked everything up before turning on the water supply, the touch feature worked on the neck, the handle, the spray, just about everywhere I touched turned it on or off. Then I turned on the water supply and now the touch only works on the base and the handle. Perhaps that is a good thing since I want to be able to use the sprayer and move the neck as I am cleaning, but I am not sure if it is supposed to be that way or not and I haven't had time to call Delta to figure it out.
Bottom line:
To me it is kind of like getting a touch screen phone, once you start using it, you find you easily get into the habit of tapping and forget how to use regular old phones that have buttons! But time will tell if the clanking and noise prove to be too much.
In retrospect I think I would have been just as happy with the regular faucet and truly I just paid for the novelty of the touch faucet.
**update 12/27/13: we have been using this faucet for awhile now and I don't notice the sound of it coming on and off anymore. I find myself tapping the other faucets in the house even though they don't have touch :) when I have company over, I use the handle because they just don't get it even when I show them. The finish is holding up well (no waterspots). A few things I have noticed: the spray is very powerful which is great for cleaning the grid in the bottom of my deep stainless steel sink, but if you wash your hands or rinse your dishes anywhere above the rim of the sink, water tends to spray all over the counters. Not a big deal if you use the handle, but i have become lazy and just leave it on mostly full blast hot. Also, we must have overcome a learning curve, because now the faucet turns on or off wherever we touch it.
Pros:
* Faucet is beautiful
* Touch feature works well
* Water cuts off after 2 minutes in case it gets cut on accidentally
Cons:
* After 3 years, the magnet that retains the wand started rusting and swelling. (Called Delta and they shipped out a replacement 3-pack of magnets free of charge)
* The ground connection that makes the touch feature work isn't the best, but moving it around gets it working again. Perhaps a little anti-oxidation cream on the connections would prevent this. Haven't tried that yet.
