Is the inside of the spout that the water flows through actually metal, or is it plastic as in the RP34357 that is only metal on the outside?

I'm not sure as we had a handyman install it for us, but it is a very solid and heavy-feeling spout and we're happy with it.

The outside housing is metal and good quality. The inside piece that screws onto the pipe was plastic. We were replacing a similar faucet that had a plastic housing and metal inside piece. We called Delta and either bought a new metal inside that fit or verified that the old metal inside piece would work once cleaned up. I can't remember. I remember that Delta was very helpful. You could try calling them. Good Luck.

If I remember correctly, the threaded part is metal, but the rest of the inside of the spout is all plastic.

The inside from the connection end to the spout is brass. The spring loaded valve at the outlet that controls the water direction is plastic.

There are plastic parts.. still best spout i have used in a very long time.

Sorry but I can't help because the new one I purchased to replace the plastic one has been installed. I would have to remove it to check inside. However the plastic model does route the water through plastic to the discharge. It was still functional, so I kept it as a spare. It was replaced only for cosmetic reasons because the chrome plating was coming off of the plastic.

I can't say for certain since it has been several months since I installed the spout. I know if the majority was plastic parts I would have returned it. I am pleased with the quality for the price as I did return a cheaply made spout ( a different brand).

It's all metal inside except for two very small silicone "plugs" where the water level is measured on the outside of the unit. The lid is plastic. I love it!

The inner cap of the lid and the part of the plunger that holds the mesh are plastic. The plunger shaft is metal.

it's definitely all steel construction! there are just a few plastic parts: the power swiches, and the door handle, and the cooling fan. we distill our water into the glass jar so there is never any contact of water with plastic.

The outer spray head is metal and the inner portion that the water flows through is a kind of hard rubberized plastic.

I studied the spigot with my magnifying glass and there is not an indication of what kind of plastic is used. the Spigot is metal. I have had mine for a month and use the Spigot 20 times a day. again the spigot per se is metal not plastic. I have no problems with the spigot and use it at least 20 times a day.

It does not appear to be plastic to me. It feels like metal. The inside, where the holes for the water to spray from, is most likely plastic. It looks great and works well.

Scott, I have had my unit for less than a year, and really enjoy its fast operation. The 'interior' is all stainless steel, with a sensor at the bottom. The 'plastic' is a circumference at the top of the unit, the handle and the outside bast of the unit. None of them touch the water. There is a small screen on the inside by the pouring spout that is a filter, and a bit of nonn-stainles steel will be exposed that touches the water when pouring. I have not found any problems with my unit and use it 4 or 5 times per week. Hope this helps. --Richard Kelman

It's plastic. It's also not fully water-tight. Water drips out if it's turned upside down or sideways.

I believe it's plastic but there may be some metal parts, too. Not to worry. It's a great showerhead.

The handle is plastic, and the end of the overflow tube inside the kettle is plastic. the mesh filter is also plastic. but aside from those small pieces, the interior and exterior are metal.

Shower output (where the water comes out) is plastic. The rest of the hardware is metal.

I have not had any problems with this yet. I wasnt happy with the plastic spout, but it has held up nicely. We use it daily.

The one I replaced was the same design but 20yrs old. The internals were brass and steel, now it's plastic. Outer is or was steel or metal. You get low cost faucet or what you pay for. It was for my rental not my house.

Mine is stainless, and yes it is metal. Where the water comes out of the nozzle is black probably plastic with metal for corrosion purposes that makes sense. The spout, arc and control are all metal....
