Delta 19912-SSSD-DST: is the spray hose made of metal mesh? Is the internal part brass?

Ha! Good question. It looks like I was fooled! I just assumed the exterior of the hose was stainless steel mesh stuff. I just looked at mine and it's probably a non metallic mesh, but looks and feels fine. I had to use a magnifying glass to see that the strands are probably made of a fishing string type looking material. It's probably okay quality for the life of the faucet and I've no reason to doubt it. Inside the mesh appears to be a flexible rubber type hosing. I'll have to put this in my review.As our dear, departed, California Huell would say, "Oh my gosh, that's amaaazing! Do you mean to say . . . . " Ha! Good question. It looks like I was fooled!

Hose appears to be made of rubber and plastic mesh. Don't see brass anywhere.

The spout itself is metal. The hose that connects it is reinforced, flexible vinyl, plastic or whatever.

I just checked and mine is steel. This is a really nice spray nozzle. Very comfortable to hold and use.

Yes, not metal, but works fine. But don't buy any other connectors, for example "People who bought this also bought..." and they show you a brass hose connector, I bought it, it didn't fit, my bad, so I have another connector in my plumbing tool kit!!

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.

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

Yes, the spray head exterior is the same metal as the main part of the faucet. Great faucet.

The entire housing is metal, The handle is metal with a rubber grip on top of the handle for our comfort. the circulart ring the guides the hose out is a very hard plastic which I thought at one time broke, but it just wasn't flipped the right way. I have had this since march of 2012 and it is still going strong!!! Well worth the investment!!

The faucet itself is all metal except for some of the fittings of course. The spray attachment is plastic and sits on a metal ring. I've had mine for about two years and have had no problem with it. I do not use the spray attachment a great deal though.

The fittings to the connector hose are brass but the hose itself is cheap and breaks easily.

I think it best to contact the manufacturer and ask the question about lead. I am assuming that because the hose itself has no lead and the claim is that it is lead free, that the brass has no lead.

Mine is well made with stainless. I would assume the brass one would be brass, not plastic.

There was a brass connection suggested by Amazon when I placed the order. It worked fine and prevented hose leaking. I can't be anymore specific as the unit is currently at our vacation home.

I believe it is metal. I love this valves! Quick on, no leaks, ready to hook up a sink or toilet in no time.

It's not brass. I am not in front of it so I can't remember of the top of my head if it is plastic and stainless steel or just plastic. I know at least the fitting area is stainless steel. It still works great and cleans up easily. No issues so far.

some plastic components but very well made. shower has been in use for 8 months and entire spray works with no clogged holes. The hand held hose resists cakeing with soap residue. I would rate this 5stars except for the problems with supply hoses upon installation. good luck
