1. Introduction
This manual provides detailed instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of your DELTA FAUCET Leland 1400 Single Lever Tub and Shower Faucet. Please read all instructions carefully before beginning installation or use to ensure proper function and safety.
The Leland 1400 series features a single lever design for temperature and flow control, a Monitor Scald-Guard valve to maintain water temperature, and a Touch-Clean showerhead for easy maintenance. This product is constructed from solid brass for durability and reliability.
2. Safety Information
- Always turn off the main water supply before installing or servicing the faucet.
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses, during installation.
- If you are unsure about any part of the installation process, consult a qualified plumber.
- Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks.
- Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on the faucet finish, as this may damage the product and void the warranty.
3. Package Contents
Verify that all components are present before beginning installation. The package should contain:
- Single lever tub and shower faucet trim
- Showerhead with Touch-Clean nozzles
- Tub spout with pull-up diverter
- Mounting hardware and seals
- Installation instructions
Note: The rough-in valve (Monitor Scald-Guard) is typically sold separately and must be installed according to its specific instructions.
4. Setup and Installation
This section outlines the general steps for installing the Leland 1400 tub and shower faucet trim. Refer to the rough-in valve's specific instructions for valve body installation.
- Prepare the Installation Area: Ensure the rough-in valve is securely installed in the wall and the water supply is turned off. Clear any debris from the pipes.
- Install the Showerhead: Apply plumber's tape to the threaded end of the shower arm extending from the wall. Thread the showerhead onto the shower arm and hand-tighten. Use a wrench to tighten an additional 1/4 to 1/2 turn. Do not overtighten.
- Install the Tub Spout: The tub spout is a pull-up diverter type. Depending on your rough-in plumbing, it will either thread directly onto a pipe extending from the wall or secure with a set screw onto a smooth copper pipe. Ensure the spout is flush against the wall and sealed properly.
- Install the Faucet Handle Trim: Follow the instructions provided with your specific rough-in valve for installing the escutcheon (wall plate) and the single lever handle. This typically involves securing the escutcheon to the valve body and then attaching the handle.
- Test for Leaks: Once all components are installed, slowly turn on the main water supply. Check all connections for leaks. If leaks are present, turn off the water, tighten the connections, and retest.

5. Operating Instructions
The Leland 1400 faucet features a single lever for controlling both water temperature and flow.
- Turning On/Off and Adjusting Flow: Lift the single lever handle to turn on the water and increase flow. Push the lever down to decrease flow and turn off the water.
- Adjusting Temperature: Rotate the single lever handle left (counter-clockwise) for hotter water and right (clockwise) for colder water. The Monitor Scald-Guard valve will help maintain a consistent temperature within +/-3 degrees Fahrenheit, preventing sudden temperature changes.
- Diverting Water to Shower: To divert water from the tub spout to the showerhead, pull up the knob on the top of the tub spout. Push the knob down to return water flow to the tub spout.
6. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your faucet.
- Cleaning the Faucet Finish: Clean the faucet with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn spots, use a mild soap and water solution. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or polishes, as these can damage the finish.
- Cleaning the Touch-Clean Showerhead: The showerhead features Touch-Clean nozzles. To remove mineral buildup, simply rub the rubber nozzles with your finger or a soft brush. This helps maintain spray performance.
- Cartridge Maintenance: If you experience consistent drips or significant changes in water flow/temperature control, the pressure balance cartridge may need servicing or replacement. Refer to the rough-in valve's manual or contact customer support for guidance.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Leland 1400 faucet, refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low water flow from showerhead or tub spout | Mineral buildup in showerhead nozzles; partially closed shut-off valves; debris in cartridge. | Clean Touch-Clean nozzles; ensure shut-off valves are fully open; clean or replace cartridge. |
| Water temperature too hot or too cold | Temperature limit stop incorrectly set on valve cartridge; issues with water heater. | Adjust the temperature limit stop on the valve cartridge (refer to valve manual); check water heater settings. |
| Faucet drips or leaks | Worn cartridge; loose connections. | Replace the cartridge; tighten connections. |
| Diverter not working properly | Debris in diverter mechanism; worn diverter seal. | Clean or replace the diverter mechanism in the tub spout. |
If these solutions do not resolve the issue, contact DELTA FAUCET customer support or a qualified plumber.
