Is any part of this spigot metal, or are all pieces plastic?

There is a stainless steel spring inside, but it is covered with a silicone rubber cap that acts as the valve seal. Liquid is never in contact with the metal. The spring is necessary to press the valve seal against the valve seat when the spigot is closed.

It appears to be all plastic construction (although sturdy). There may, however, be a small metal spring inside.

No plastic here, it's metal. It's a very nice faucet. I've had it in for a few months now and it's holding up great to a lot of use. I love it. It's a beautiful faucet! :)

it is plastic and the flow was very slow, so I dip from the top (I make kombucha in it). The glass bit is thick and sturdy....the spigot is not terrific.

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!!

The best I can tell is that the interior is metal, aluminum or steel. There is a metal pipe i sert that allows the liquid to be pumped up from the bottom of the container, out through the plastic spigot at the top. I have no idea what the plastic is made of. The liquid only comes in contact with the plastic when it is dispensed. Hope this helps.

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.

The faucet part, the middle of it is but not the rest. It looks very nice, it has a very nice finish. You can not tell by the look that it is plastic.

The spout is plastic, however, it is a very strong plastic and seems to be very sturdy.

The spigot looks like a very hard plastic. It certainly is not stainless steel. But the plastic is very tough!

The spout is plastic. There is also a plastic connector near the spout. We choose to neutralize any possible affects

its a plastic spigot. I've had mine for a few months now and it has not given any problems or leaks.

Hi Ashley, There is no metal in the spigot. It is made with plastic. The lid however is made of metal. hope that helps. Thanks,

Yes, the spigot is plastic. Also, if the berkey has only 2 filters, the holes are sealed with plastic plugs. I do not see the use of plastic as a problem.

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 !

No, the spigot is plastic with a chrome coating on the outside. There is a plastic washer on the inside as well.

it is all plastic on top, bottom is metal, but works great, thought about getting another one, only problem is, is that the shut off valve doesn't work good and it will leak all of it out, so I made a hanger for mine where it hooks at the top so the nozzle is higher than the whiskey. other than that no complaints.
