Fitting material
 
Nickel Plated Aluminum AN fittings vs Anodized for fresh water lines. What have you had the best luck with?

Feel free to post a link for a stainless steel -16 hose end in a 45 degree.

If you know someone with a TIG welder I'm sure you could make one if you can't find one.

Teague has a lot of high-end stainless etc. worth a call... VERY nice fittings I may add.

I found the stainless pipe fittings but Bob only has the stainless hose fittings in push lock.

nothing wrong with push lock

agree, what are you using these for? push lock is good for 300psi on average and I dont know of anything getting near that on a boat other than the trim systems.
