Fitting material

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

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

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.
