Is the pull-out handle made of plastic with "steel" coating? The site says the material is brass, but is that just for the body of the faucet?

I'm not certain of the materials used for the handle, but its not brass. Regardless, I am very happy with this faucet in every way. Hope this is helpful. Let me know if you need more details.

So sorry I cannot tell about the handle just by looking. In any case it works well.....

Hello ElderOnly the flow control knob is brass. The older version of the nozzle has a plastic flow control knob. The rest of the nozzle is steel.

outside is metal,the inside is made of plastic, that the water go's threw, you can't tell from looking at it. It's still a great faucet and can't beat the price.

The actuall spicket is all plastic. Everything else is heavt duty stainless steel. It's the only bummer part of the faucet.

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.

The one I bought is chrome colored plastic. There is also one available in chrome coated brass.

The pull-out part of the faucet is made of the same metal as the body. The visible top part of the drain is also made of the same metal as the body, but the under-sink tube of the drain is hard plastic. The pull-out faucet works very well for me as does the pop-up drain.

Mine was clear plastic however the pull chain is brass - it worked like a charm. I had ordered three others until I got this one and am perfectly satisfied. This worked on my Hunter ceiling fan - perfect fit.

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.

They are metal, but not solid metal. I believe there is plastic inside of the handles. The faucet works well in my RV and looks great.

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.

The major internal faucet components, valves, valve seats (parts that wear with age and use) are all brass. We have the stainless steel finish. We bought the faucets independently and they were installed by a plumber during our renovation. He commented that they were high quality and that we bought very good faucets. The plumbing connections to the valves are plastic, but most new quality faucets are. We are very pleased with our purchase and would recommend this faucet.

The back portion of the handle is staiinless steel, and the front portion is of exactly the same color but seems to be of a rougher surface to maintain a better grip, and so I image the front portion of the handle to be of some plastic material, but difficult to distinguish from stainless. As you see in the picture, the darker parts that contain the rubber nibs where the water comes through are of plastic material, including the main middle portion of the fixed unit. The hose is of stainless steel and the levers on the main unit and handle as well.

Unfortunately no,but after going through three Moen pull out faucets in less than three years this is the far superior faucet for the price . It's made well; no plastic parts and was easy to install.Also has a shorter faucet so it doesn't stick out too far in sink and wind up giving you a bath when washing up pots and pans. I love, love, love mine!

The actual reel and reel housing is all heavy duty plastic. But the center of the reel that the handle and (at the other end) where the water hose is attached to is metal. It's a strong pipe like center. I can't say what kind of metal that is. And it's not stated on the package. But a magnet does stick to it, so I doubt that it stainless steel. We've had super good experience with this style of Ames hose reel.
