Do you have a question about the Delta 1177LF-RB and is the answer not in the manual?

The device described in this manual is a Delta Wall Mounted Pot Filler Faucet, specifically the 1177LF Series/Series/Seria model. This type of faucet is designed for kitchen use, primarily to fill pots directly on the stovetop, eliminating the need to carry heavy, water-filled pots from the sink to the stove. Its wall-mounted design saves counter space and offers convenience in busy kitchen environments.

Function Description:

The Delta Wall Mounted Pot Filler Faucet provides a dedicated water source at the stovetop, allowing for easy and efficient filling of large pots for cooking. It features a dual-handle design, typically with one handle for cold water and another for hot water, or in some configurations, two handles controlling the flow of cold water only, depending on the installation. The faucet is designed to extend over the cooking area and retract or fold back against the wall when not in use, preventing obstruction. The flow of water is controlled by quarter-turn handles, providing quick on/off operation. The faucet is intended for use with a 1/2" IPS supply line, and the pipe should extend 1/2" past the finished wall surface for proper installation.

Important Technical Specifications:

Model: 1177LF Series/Series/Seria
Mounting: Wall-mounted
Supply Line Connection: 1/2" IPS (Iron Pipe Size)
Required Pipe Extension: The supply pipe should extend 1/2" (13 mm) past the finished wall surface.
Drill Hole Size: For mounting, 3/32" (2.38 mm) pilot holes are recommended, followed by 1/4" (6.35 mm) holes for the mounting screws.
Materials: The faucet is constructed with durable materials, as implied by the maintenance and warranty information, suggesting a long lifespan under normal use. The use of Teflon® tape is specified for pipe threads to ensure a watertight seal.
Compliance: The faucet is compliant with ASME A112.18.1 / CSA B125.1 and ICC/ANSI A117.1 standards, indicating adherence to specific plumbing and accessibility codes.

Usage Features:

Convenience: The primary feature is the convenience of filling pots directly on the stovetop, eliminating the need to transport heavy pots of water from the sink.
Dual Handles: The faucet typically includes two handles for precise control over water flow. The manual shows a dual-handle design, which allows for either hot and cold water mixing (if plumbed for both) or independent cold water control.
Swivel Spout: The design includes a swivel spout that can be extended over the pot and then folded back against the wall, maximizing workspace when the faucet is not in use.
Aerator: The faucet is equipped with an aerator, which mixes air into the water stream to produce a smooth, splash-free flow. The aerator can be removed for cleaning if the water flow becomes weak.
Installation: The installation process involves mounting the faucet to the wall using screws and connecting it to a 1/2" IPS cold water supply line. The manual provides detailed step-by-step instructions for installation, including preparing the wall, securing the mounting flange, and connecting the faucet body. It emphasizes the importance of ensuring the supply pipe extends sufficiently from the wall.
Flushing System: After installation, it is crucial to flush the system for one minute to remove any debris that could cause damage to internal parts. This prevents potential issues with the cartridge and aerator.

Maintenance Features:

Leak Detection: The manual advises checking all connections for leaks after installation and periodically. If leaks occur, tightening connections or replacing components like O-rings or cartridges may be necessary.
Aerator Cleaning: If the faucet exhibits very low flow, the aerator (3) should be removed and cleaned. This is a common maintenance task to address mineral buildup or debris that can restrict water flow.
Cartridge Replacement: If the faucet leaks from the spout or handle, the valve cartridge (1) or handle cartridge (2) may need to be replaced. The manual provides instructions for disassembling the handle and spout to access and replace these components. It specifies a 19 mm hex for the cartridge.
Handle Replacement: If the handle is damaged or malfunctioning, it can be replaced. The process involves removing the handle and replacing it with a new one, ensuring it is properly aligned and secured.
Cleaning: The manual suggests cleaning the faucet regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap to maintain its finish. Harsh cleaners or abrasive materials should be avoided to prevent damage to the surface.
Warranty: The product comes with a Lifetime Faucet and Finish Limited Warranty, covering defects in material and workmanship for as long as the original consumer purchaser owns the home in which the faucet was first installed. This warranty is a significant maintenance feature, as it covers major components and finishes, reducing long-term ownership costs for the consumer. It specifically excludes damage from improper installation, misuse, or use of non-Delta replacement parts.

In summary, the Delta Wall Mounted Pot Filler Faucet is a specialized kitchen fixture designed for convenience and efficiency in cooking. Its robust construction, detailed installation instructions, and comprehensive maintenance guidelines, backed by a strong warranty, ensure a reliable and long-lasting product for the modern kitchen.
