The Delta T17478-H2O has a metal tub spout.
The Delta T17478-H2O has many valves available for this faucet depending on the copper piping you have in your wall. If it is threaded then you are going to want a valve that has the UN as the suffix and ones with IP are going to be copper on copper.
The Delta T17478-H2O shower head does swivel, the 7.5" is for the escutcheon for the water control, and yes it has a ceramic disc valve.
The Delta T17478-H2O is a single function showerhead and does not adjust the volume on the system.
The Delta T17478-H2O is most likely using different size valves then one from 1992, as the industry standards for the piping has been changing. Unless it was an installation within the last 2 years and the same brand and set up, then I always assume you are going to need the valve.
The Delta T17478-H2O is a different shower head. The difference between H@) technology and standard is that the H20 has an oscillating shower head. The H20 feels like it's putting out more water and hotter water because of the size of the water droplets and the pattern, when in fact it's putting out less water.
The Delta T17478-H2O is constructed of solid brass to ensure quality and reliability.
