Delta Essa Brushed Nickel Kitchen Faucet with Pull Down Sprayer, Modern Single Hole Kitchen Sink Faucet, Single Handle, Arctic Stainless 9113-AR-DST

I chose Delta because it is EASY to get parts for it, if needed. The finish on this faucet is beautiful, and the shut-off lever is efficient, and the spray control works beautifully. Furthermore, plumbers seem to love them. This faucet looks great with my modern kitchen and granite countertops. It was shipped quickly, along with a very easy Amazon transaction. I could have purchased this from Home Depot, which is 25 minutes from my home, but I would have had to HUNT for a sales person to help me. Amazon save me $$$ and my time. Thank you!

The install was completed by the plumber. in 30 minutes. I cannot tell you how incredible it looks in the kitchen. Instant upgrade for the look. So how does it work. It is incredible. I have read that other have issues with spray. I do have a deep D shaped stainless sink. I put the water on high and I did not have splash back. I have read the stream of water was not strong. IT was plenty strong in fact I needed to slow down the stream. The sprayer works great. I took time while the plumber was in the home to really pull down and move the faucet to see if there would be any issues. I needed to move a few objects under the sink so the weight would not be obstructed. Great product at a great price during the sale. .

We like the quality & style of this faucet. Simple mechanical valve to avoid the automation headaches of touch It has been in use for only about 16 days, so time will tell how well it will holdup. EDIT/ Update: After 1 year of use & we are still very happy with this faucet It replaces an over 15 year old Delta (several valve rebuilds along the way) that needed a new pullout faucet head, that is the sprayer & the parts were no longer available. This old faucet had the separate valve body that mounted to the counter top independent of the faucet, because of the asymmetrical sink design a typical faucet with a Escutcheon would not work. Faucet needed to be in the far right hole to reach the much larger side of the sink This seems to be a low flow/ water saver faucet. We find the flow adequate & are happy there is not so much flow that water splashes everywhere. However, it does take longer to fill the sink. This was not a surprise to me as other reviews had mentioned the low flow feature. While using the pullout sprayer, if your not careful, it is possible to "kink the water line" & interrupt the flow of water. This has only happened to me a couple of times, when raising the sprayer above the exit point of the pull-down faucet while trying to rinse a very tall item that was well above counter top height. All you need to do is extend the hose first, with your other hand if you want to hold the spraying head up above the faucet, exit point without kinking the water hose. Not that hard to install, if you are handy or experienced with replacing a faucet ---> Faucet was direct mounted to our 1 1/4 (1.25) inch thick, stone countertop ---> We decided to mount the faucet with the handle in the Center, closest to the sink. This way you can turn the water off with the back of your hand & keep the water dripping from your fingers over the sink. Instead of dripping water on to the counter top every time you touch the valve handle with wet hands. I Used - Westbrass 2" Kitchen Sink Hole Cover, Stainless Steel, D202-20 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00403BXWC to seal the extra hole in the stone countertop - (great product see my review) The directions ... they are not very good for non technical or those without experience changing faucets .... the directions are not custom to this faucet -- You will need to figure-out which part of the universal directions apply / is closest to your faucet. The hardest parts? 1) Removing the 15+ yr old faucet .... brass nut & brass threads of faucet were a bit crusty & the valve body above the counter started turning, As this was going to be scrap ... I used vice-grip pliers & a thick rag against the backsplash to keep it from turning. 2) Next was keeping that thin plastic base-plate centered, under the new faucet during the install as it kept moving. (poor design IMO) ---> Delta needs to rethink that design -- It Should snap into place & stay there Steps - to install 1a) Know where & how to turn off the water to the entire house & test that the valve works. If things go poorly you will want to know it works. The valves under the sink do not always work or stop all water flow. Stuff happens 1b) If you have a well, know how to turn it off & how to valve off or drain the pressure. 1c) Wear eye protection ... stuff is going to fall in your face while your on your back & working under the sink 2) Shut off water under sink & test that water does not come-out of the faucet. Always support the valve body while turning the valve handle, to keep stresses off of the pipe. 3) With bucket or rags handy remove the waterlines to the old faucet. Expect 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water to drain from the lines. Always support the valve body with a second wrench, while turning nut to water line to keep stresses off of the pipe. 4) Install the faucet into the counter. Confirm the location & orientation of the faucet before your final tightening. Having a second person handy to check the final location, before you complete tightening the nut, helps limit the up/down trips, under the cabinet. 5) Connect the water supply lines to the valve. Always support the valve body with a second wrench, while turning nut to water line to keep stresses off of the pipe. 6) Flush the valve set, let some water (1 gallon should do) run through the Hot & Cold sides - catch what comes out of the faucet feed line, in a container. If you have a second person they can operate the faucet valve from above the counter. Solo install ... Open the valve on faucet body, so hot & cold water will flow & then use the water supply valve under the sink to control the flow into your bucket. 7) Install the sliding counter weight --> then make the connection to the pullout faucet ---> Install the locking clip & test that it is locked 8) Open water valves under sink. Always support the valve body while turning the valve handle, to keep stresses off of the pipe. 9) Check for leaks, open valve on faucet & check flow & then look under counter & inspect for leaks again Things that Helped: ---> I used the floor mats from the kitchen to make laying on the cabinet edge much more comfortable. ---> I used the correct size of combination wrenches & a deep sock with extension & a ratchet drive, to speed up the install. ---> To remove the old faucet, I used a basin wrench & vice-grip pliers to hold the old valve (from spinning) to get the nut off when the threads got a little tight. Brass threads to old faucet getting a little crusty in 15+ years was expected

Sleek Design Meets Smooth Performance This Delta Essa kitchen faucet really impressed me from the start. The brushed nickel finish has a clean, modern look that blends beautifully with stainless appliances, and the single-handle design makes adjusting water flow and temperature very intuitive. The pull-down sprayer is smooth and retracts reliably every time thanks to the built-in magnetic docking system—no dangling sprayer head, which is a big plus. Installation was straightforward, and Delta included everything needed in the box. The faucet feels sturdy and well-built, with solid motion in the handle and a durable-feeling spray head. I especially like the two spray modes, which switch seamlessly from stream to spray with a simple touch, making it versatile for both rinsing dishes and filling pots. Something to keep in mind: the faucet sits a bit higher than some standard models, which is great for clearance but could be an issue if you have cabinets right above your sink. Also, like any brushed finish, it will show water spots if not wiped down occasionally—but it’s easy to clean. Bottom line: This is a stylish, reliable, and very functional faucet that delivers both looks and performance. A strong choice if you want a high-quality upgrade for your kitchen.

For context, I'm a homeowner and replacing my kitchen faucet was my first DIY project in my condo unit. The product looks great when installed. Installing it was, in the end, quite easy after having the right information. What was a major pain in the neck was to get the right installation information. For starters, the manual that came with the product doesn't correspond to this model. Don't bother to read it, it's just a waste of time. The most accurate one is the one linked from this Amazon product page. The one in the Delta Faucet page omits the "gasket", but the Amazon one shows it. I put the "gasket" in quotes because this model, at present, is packed with a part which is a sort of hard plastic that, as I eventually learned, is supposed to play the role of a gasket. It's quite a bizarre thing to see something being called a "gasket" when it's not made of rubber. Call me closed-minded, but I could not really believe that thing in the package was what the manual called "gasket", also because in the drawing it looked different. Since there was no packing list nor documentation with the proper drawings, I was just guessing. So, I decided that real gaskets are made of rubber and that the real gasket was missing. I went from deciding to return the product due to missing parts, to contacting Delta to get part RP80528, which in my mind was the allegedly missing rubber-made real gasket. So I call customer support on the phone. The first representative asks for proof of buy at Amazon. He sends me an upload link via SMS. I try to upload a picture and it doesn't work. He asks for a different format (I sent PNG initially). I convert to JPEG. Link still doesn't work. Then he asks for my email, which I give, and he said he e-mailed me so that I can sent him the pics. It never came. I call again. Another representative, but this one was definitely at odds with technology. Blames Amazon and said they sold me an item that was used, and that's why it was missing parts. I countered that argument. This was real Amazon. The only thing that was true on her observations is that this same model is more than twice the price if you buy it from them. But still it's actually sold by Amazon. Then, she just made me wait to ask for I don't remember what, and I ran out of patience and hanged. I decided to go for a channel that biases towards tech-savvy people with a better culture of customer support. So I tried online chat. That worked. Still, the associate blamed the Amazon manual as being out of date. She sends me another one, the one in the Delta page, which doesn't show ANY gasket. Nor even the one that came with the package. I then argue a bit and she decided to just make an exception and send me a free "gasket", part number RP80528. A few days after, I received the "gasket" (which has no picture in its product page), and it was exactly the same hard plastic one I received with the package. Sooooooo, at least that answered my question, in that now the "gasket" that came in the package was the one to use, despite how bizarre that is. So, as you probably can observe, my original package had everything I needed for the installation, except the correct information. I wasted significant time and energy only because these people don't bother to update their manuals with proper drawings, let alone pack the closest possible manual to the product. Anyway, despite that, when the installation process was 100% clear, execution was a breeze, and this faucet solved all the problems my old faucet had. I absolutely love how it looks, how it operates, its mechanism for returning the hose, the magnetic docking, etc. Installation preparation felt like an agony due to the terrible installation manuals with no packing lists, but once the information was clear, it worked very nicely. I also have to say that the price Delta shows for this faucet in their website is more than twice the Amazon price. So, feels like a steal. Overall, of course my opinion is mixed, but honestly the faucet feels, looks, and operates smoothly. I'm super happy with the outcome.

Our old kitchen faucet decided to go potty (under the sink) about 3 weeks before Christmas ('22). We have an older stainless steel sink with the 4 holes. We decided on this one specifically WITHOUT the touch feature (or any other electronics). The last thing I wanted to deal with was a faucet that turned on and off just because it was moved from one side to the other. We chose the Essa style because it looks elegant, yet simple. Additionally, we didn't want a bunch of curves, fillagree, or flat surfaces to hold water (and also bacteria). This one is VERY easy to clean and looks as good as the day we bought it! We chose the Arctic chrome finish. INSTALLATION: I'm fairly handy and have some experience with home plumbing. This was not my 1st faucet install. Even still, this took roughly an hour to get it fully installed. Was fairly straightforward, but getting the base of the faucet tightened in a small space underneath and perfectly even up top was a little challenging. With my wife's help up top, I was able to get it tightened up perfectly. They do provide fairly lengthy connection pipes that CAN be looped (an 8" diameter is the max they recommend). There is roughly a 4' long hose that connects the pull-down spout with a donut size and style weight that hangs below the faucet. The design and material lead me to believe there would be virtually zero wear even after several years. The weight provides the "pull" to bring the end of the faucet back up. There is a slight magnetic catch that holds the pull-down in place. We're on a well, and our water pressure is set between 30-50psi. At the low end there's not a lot coming out, but it's certainly usable. We're about to change that too and move it up to a 40-60psi pressure switch along with a new pressure tank (all that's another story). The pull-down spout works great in the normal mode, but when switched to sprayer mode, water seems to bounce off the dishes almost everywhere. Maybe with a deeper sink, this would be better. We opted for a soap dispenser to fill in the 4th hole of the sink, but we chose the dispenser from a different Delta model to match the swooping flow of this faucet design. Overall, after a couple months of use, this faucet is outstanding! Highly recommend it.

Looks great & works great. Designed for easy installation. Everything you need included in the packaging (might want to get silicone sealer). The hard part of installation was removing the old faucet. Needed to consult installation manual for the old faucet. Time will tell how durable this faucet will be. Old one lasted 18 years with replacement of the sprayer head after 12 years (under warranty).

Great faucet! I love the finish and it's so functional! I'm able to move The faucet out of the way, to put big pots in the sink and get them cleaned. I can pull out the faucet to get into different areas of the sinker pots and pans or different things that I'm cleaning. I've been using the faucet for about 6 months and it still looks and functions great. It's a great size, quiet, has great water pressure and the two spray capabilities are great!! Highly recommend! It has everything I wanted for a kitchen sink
