It says it is brass but people who bought it say there is a lot of plastic on it. Is this true?

Hey Lucy,Everything Is brass it chrome plated brass except, HOT & COLD KNOBS and mounting nuts underneath. Also remember it does not come with an aerator but brass craft sf0204x 3/4" works great

It's a combination of brass and plastic, but in my experience I am sure this Delta faucet will provide a long satisfactory service life.

There is no plastic that I'm aware of. We have this faucet in our laundry room and works great.

True, BUT I knew that going in. Perfect price point for my indoor installation.

we have been very satisfied with this faucet; it has proven to be sturdy, gets used a lot. Ours does not have plastic; not sure why this comment was made.

It's brass. Very well built. My plumber was impressed and couldn't believe the low cost.

The side sprayer is plastic and the little nuts on the bottom of the sink are plastic. The faucet itself is solid brass I believe. There are two little rubber washers on the knobs one blue and one red for cold/hot. This isn't your typical big box store $25-50 faucet that is completely made out of plastic with a chrome looking paint. I've had it for a year no problems.

It appears to be all brass. If there is any lead hidden in the product, it's not going to hurt the plants or the grass and I don't intend to drink from the hose nozzle. I'm happy with the product. I also have no idea how one would determine if there was anything but brass without having it melted down.

It APPEARS to be made of brass. Your query prompted me to seek it out and give it a polish as there are some dark spots on its surface. I was unable to remove them. However, I am pleased with this burner - I bought it as a back-up for cooking during a power cut - and it isn't an ornament so I'm not really bothered about its appearance.

Hi, YES it is metal. I would think it will last longer and be better than plastic. I would change.

I am pretty sure it is plastic. They do look like metal and had to take it apart to really tell.

it is made from brass , plated with different metals . Looks good , but the pumps suction and its recovery for a second disposal is small and slow.

It looks like metal, but seems to be plastic. You can't tell by looking at it. We like it.

Answer here...Can't say if "solid" brass, but they definitely have plenty of heft and are not plastic. Very pleased!

It's the same material, brass. It just looks different in the pic. We used it for our wedding. Nice peice, I'm not sure how well it holds up to continuous use. I hope this helps!

Yes it is plastic, but a sturdy plastic handle. Not one you would break easily. I believe the solid brass diverter valve is on the inside of the unit. It is a sturdy unit and I like it. My sister who is handicapped has no problem using it.

I don't know if it is Brass, maybe stainless steel underneath, but it is chrome plated and hard metal, not plastic. Its great quality, I have been using it for 8 months now switching from a rain shower, handheld, and massage jet.

Plastic...I don't like it. It is hidden under the night stand so I cannot see it. I have a brass one but it's so expensive.

The base and neck and all connection parts are brass and metal. The bell shaped pull out with the spray button is plastic. I shopped around quite a bit before buying mine and they are all like that regardless of manufacturer. But it's not cheap plastic. It has a nice feel to it and is finished identical to the rest of it. Besides, it adds an insulation factor. A metal one would get too hot to hold when using hot water such as washing dishes or scrubbing the sink.
