No, there is no plastic. One metal tube slides inside another metal tube, and a metal button pops through an alignment hole. I have taken mine on three floats in the last week, totaling about 35 miles, and love this paddle.

All aluminum. Aluminum male end slides into aluminum female end, with a spring loaded metal clip that holds them together. From my experience, it is more than sturdy, and I had no worries about it breaking or coming apart.

It's the aluminum tube...but so far it has really held up well, with no cracks, and the tube is more than half empty.

If I remember correctly, the threaded part is metal, but the rest of the inside of the spout is all plastic.

Yes, the end pieces are separate. I was disappointed with this though. I have been splurging on higher quality bath items. The description does not tell you how much is plastic nor the gauge of the tubing. Not slender at all. Only tube was metal. Donated to Restore (Habitat for Humanity store).

The insert that shipped with my Fagor was teflon coated aluminum. I then researched, found and bought a stainless insert.

The tubing is imbedded in the pump module and the tubing slides on the diaphragm stem. This part does have the stem on the part. I don't know if you can buy replacement tubing if that's what your asking.

Bought one of these to go into one of two cracked wheelbarrow tubs that we have. One is plastic and the other is metal. Although it "fits" the shape is wrong for both. So, although it appears that it will work in a plastic or metal wheelbarrow, it depends on the shape of the existing tub.

Not sure I understand which part you are asking about. It is of good quality. There is some heavy plastic - the handle, top and a very small chunk on the stem.

I am using this very item with 3/8" plastic tubing. But seems it will work with 5/16" - 1/2" but only sure about what I'm using. Hopes this helps

I just saw the other responses. Mine has a hole with a plastic piece that fits in if not using one. I just got mine a few weeks ago.

They are plastic inserts, and not part of the metal tube. I have the molded Ram mudflaps and I have about an 8th inc clearance on both sides R&L; and the plastic matches the black on the mudflaps. These are better than I expected and look great.

Hi Adam. There are connections at each corner of one side. One connection is a plastic protrusion that you can slip a tube over and use a hose clamp. I believe it was 1.25 inch. The other three corners are plastic bosses with female pipe threads. I believe they are 1/2 inch but I don't remember and I wouldn't be able to measure it for quite some time.

Darryl, how did you knocked out the plastic insert out of the seat tube!?? I'm having a really hard time with that. Thank you!.
