Delta Faucet Co 16953-DST Pull Out Kitchen Faucet

Product Description

The DELTA FAUCET CO 16953-DST is a single-handle pull-out kitchen faucet finished in chrome, designed for residential kitchen sink installations. It uses Delta Diamond Seal Technology, which embeds diamond particles into the valve to reduce friction and wear, helping the faucet maintain like-new performance over its service life. The pull-out spout swivels 120 degrees, extending reach across the sink basin. Touch Clean spray holes resist hard water mineral buildup and can be cleared without tools. This faucet is sold as a single unit and weighs 4.38 pounds, making it straightforward to handle during rough-in and trim-out.

The 16953-DST is intended for residential kitchen applications. It fits 3-hole or 4-hole sink configurations and accommodates deck thickness and spacing in the 8-inch to 16-inch installation range. An optional 10.5-inch escutcheon is included to cover unused holes in a wider deck configuration. The chrome finish suits standard residential kitchen environments and pairs with common sink deck finishes. Licensed plumbers or experienced DIYers typically complete this type of installation during kitchen remodels or faucet replacements.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified DIYer following local IPC plumbing code requirements.
