What material is the on/off button on the sprayer? Plastic? Metal? Other? On our previous faucet, the button was rubber and it degraded due to UV.

The button is hard plastic. It should not degrade, prematurely, and our faucet receives uv light all day long.

It is a type of hard plastic... we do have it in our kitchen where the sun shines in and have not experienced any degradation of fading. We are very happy with this faucet and would recommend it to anyone.

We've had ours for about 1 year and like it BUT we just noticed black rubber bits coming out of the faucet! I talked to Delta and they're sending out a new hose free but I asked if this was a known issue. The customer service rep said "yes, but it's very rare". I've been in engineering/manufacturing for 20 years and asked if they made any improvements to the hose and he said no, it was just a certain production run that had this problem. It's gross though since we drink quite a bit of water and I don't know how much EPDM rubber my family's consumed.

Unfortunately it is plastic just like what the original faucet came with. The thin outer "stainless steel-like" finish on the one I bought has already begun to separate from the body of the piece.

Installed some time ago and difficult to determine from tapping on the faucet. This is second one I've owned and had no trouble with exterior chrome coating. Replaced first due to plastic diverted breaking.

The sprayer is plastic. I checked two other brands of similar design and they were plastic as well. I agree with Gunboat it matches very well and both work great!

The pull out portion of the faucet is made out of a weaving plastic. However, it works pretty good and I have not have any problem with it.

The pull down is metal made, only the "disc" with the holes (water exit), and the "pull down holder"; at the end of the "pipe" is plastic, really all the faucet is very solid !

the hose is not stainless steel. I am not sure it is plastic but it is stiff. I purchased a stainless hose at a local store to to replace the one that came with the faucet. I should have purchased a more expensive faucet that had the stainless hose to begin with.

It is a hard polymer plastic and I have not had any problem with mine. I love this faucet and would recommend it to those who use their kitchen as a kitchen was intended to be used.

The sprayer is stainless on the outside, plastic on the inside. Works great.

Hi I'm looking at it now and I think it's mostly all metal. The nozzle is either thin metal covering plastic or plastic that looks amazingly like brushed steel. The rest of it is very solid metal in a brushed finish. Whatever it is the entire faucet is very heavy duty and it looks and works amazingly. I've been using it heavily for about 9 months and I really love it. Hope that helps

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.

No.. It's metal. I've had this faucet since around March. I absolutely love it! No problems at all. I have a very picky husband and he loves it too. It's a high-quality faucet.

It is a chromated plastic and thus far is very rugged. While it is inexpensive I do not consider it cheap.We have both Moen and Grohe in other showers and in all honesty the nozzles clean easier on the Waterpik than either of the other "much, much more expensive' systems. The spray nozzles are actually larger than either of the other two brands.

It's plastic, but not with Chrome paint. It's more like a Chrome plate over plastic. I'd rather have metal, but I think it's a lost cause in this day and age hoping for that.I do have a 12 yo shower where my American Standard thermostatic Chrome plastic handles look as good as new. I do wipe them with my towel after every shower to keep the water drops from drying and leaving mineral deposits. I am going to get the Hansgrohe and deal with it. What other suggests can you offer? Try California Faucets if you really care.

both- the outside is the same metal as the rest, the spray plate is probably plastic with rubber nozzles. We love this faucet-in function and appearance. the head goes back in the neck easily, both spray and stream are fine,the handle took getting used to since it was so different from our old one.
