Galley Delta one touch faucet in place and almost ready - 2011



January 2011 - Marina Cortez San Diego, CA

SS Delta 9192T-SD-DST Low Lead Compliant Single Handle Kitchen Faucet Featuring Pull-Out Spray, MagnaTite Docking and Touch2O from the Addison Collection
Note:
 We have had this Delta one touch faucet for several years now and it has worked great. We have lost the water saver feature but have never called Delta to find out how to fix it., yet
After writing this we looked up the low flow issue and here is the fix.



Yay! We got the faucet in! Not any water running through it yet but it is attached to the counter top. Looking good too.
 As you can see we made a piece of ¾ x ¾ teak and drilled a couple holes in it. Counter sunk them and found a couple SS screws to go in the holes. The we took it to the boat and clamped it to the underside of the counter top and drilled a couple holes for the screws to go into using a stop on the drill bit so as to not got through the counter top. That would have been a bummer. So that all went well. Then we put some wood glue on the teak piece and screwed it in. Not a problem. Now the black sink bracket would fit across the two pieces of teak and clamp in the faucet as directed. Remember there was a teak piece already there as part of the boat. We were just matching the teak on the stern side of the faucet.
 Any way we finished putting the rest of the faucet together. Now we will need to hook up the faucet water lines to the existing boat house    water lines. There are a couple ways of doing this and we are looking for the best way. We could use a piece of hose and some hose clamps. We looked at Marine Exchange  for an adapter but did not find any. The threads may be an issue on the check valve assembly that Delta supplies. So a trip to Home Depot and if we find nothing there then the hose and clamps will work.
Else we can order these from Delta "3/8"-24 UNEF to 1/2"-20 UN & 3/8"-24 UNEF to 1/2"-14 NPSM"
 The LED light is just a dim glow and we could unplug it if we do not want to see it. It is to let you know if the batteries are dead and or if the One Touch is on I think. Still do not know as we have not used it. It will work by the handle also if the batteries went dead. It takes simple AA batteries.


 We plan on having the connection under the storage section where we keep the pressure cooker for ease of access. That is (1978 Freeport) towards the bow on the port side on the face of the galley if that makes sense. 
The sink can look a  little crooked but it is still not installed yet, it is just sitting in place.
