Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love this shower head I am updating a bathroom, and have been scouring the sites for a good shower head. Then I remembered my own current shower head (from my last remodel), and reminded myself that I really love this one. It has three spray settings, though I only use one. Guests comment on it as well. The material is lightweight (not brass) but for the price it looks great and functions superbly.

shower head model RP48590: Is there an option to use a 1.5 gpm flow restrictor?

Intending on using the RP48590 shower head in conjunction with your theromostatic shower valve. New Dormitory application.
Asked by: Rich
Rich, thank you for your question! At this time there are no flow restrictors offered for the showerhead assemblies. Delta Faucet does offer a variety of 1.5 gpm showerheads should you be able to switch out the spec for the dormitory. Below is a link to one example (Delta Faucet model #52671-WC15-BG): http://www.deltafaucet.com/search/results.html?q=52671-WC15-BG

What percentage of the shower head is metal vs plastic?

Asked by: D10000
Hi D10000, Thank you for contacting Delta Faucet Company! Please accept our sincere apology for the inconvenience you are experiencing with your Premium 3-Setting Shower Head In Chrome MODEL#: RP48590. Here is what we can do to resolve your issue for you. Our Delta faucets are made of several materials and may depend on which model you have. We can't provide that level of detail every time, and specific amounts are considered proprietary (trade secret). But in general, the faucet may contain: Bronze Brass (36000, 260) (hub, handle, body, tube, fittings) Zinc (escutcheon, hub, handle) Stainless Steel (undercover plate, seat liner, set screw) Copper (tubing) PEX-C (puck and tubing) Silicone (gaskets) Synthetic rubber - EDPM, Santoprene (hoses) Vinyl (hoses) Nylon Plastics Quality is very important to us, and our products undergo rigorous testing to ensure high-quality performance. Non-metallic products are beneficial in that they do not rust or corrode and help prevent heat transfer. Thank you for being a loyal Delta Faucet customer. We appreciate your business and look forward to continuing to serve you. Please contact us back with any further questions. Best Regards, Nicole
