Fifteen years ago, were all Delta pull-down diverter spouts metal like the discontinued RP17454 model? Or were some plastic even back then?
Here is the discontinued Delta model:

The reason i ask, is because my BIL's house is due to be gutted approx this month, and he's offering me his pull-down Delta diverter-spout that's now on his tub. He said he never had problems with it all these years, so i figure it must be good quality. I doubt he knows the model number of his spout. All he said is that it was installed approx. 2009.

Is it worth uninstalling his pull-down Delta for use on my tub (rather than installing the Pull-Up AmericanStandard diverter-spout which I just ordered)?

one able to answer bladderless or bladder which ?

1. "Pin"???
2. A galvanized tank is usually installed with a means to add air. It also has an above ground check valve. To switch to a diaphragm tank you would usually want to eliminate that source of air, and eliminate the check valve.

15 year old spouts go in the trash generally . but here is a thought try it out if it works and you like it use it if not use your other one . you might like the style or the price whatever its truley your preferance

You do realize he was replying to @Brooklyn1954 who is either a bot or a moron trying to hijack your post.

Of course i realized it was a hijack, thus stated "sarcastically speaking"... I only happened to hop back here cuz though i'd unsubscribed this post, a similar Q yielded my past post in dropdown.

Though i knew bots are on reddit, i didn't know they're crawling everywhere for crying out loud.
