Does the new units still use the aluminum fittings or have they been changed over to the brass fittings? Pictures show alum.

The fittings to the connector hose are brass but the hose itself is cheap and breaks easily.

I have had mine for almost a year, and have had no issues with it. So, I don't know if mine is a "new" unit.I would guess if is aluminum, if that is what you are seeing in the pictures.

The one I replaced was the same design but 20yrs old. The internals were brass and steel, now it's plastic. Outer is or was steel or metal. You get low cost faucet or what you pay for. It was for my rental not my house.

Those parts are not pure aluminum, their is lead in the metal. My coating came off and exposed the actual metals. see my recent review. This is very dangerous lead based metal.

old copper tube is fine as long as you have compression fittings on it but it is just easier to use the new braided s.s. lines for convenience if you have any issues with the dishwasher. also if you move the unit around a lot flexible lines are always better

that is true the picture does show metal fittings but they were plastic, the fittings did not seem strong enough to hold up for high use, that is the very reason I returned this item

They are metal fittings. They have a coating on them that feels a bit like plastic but they are for sure metal.

The old one used a 2 pin SAE connector, one exposed, one covered. The new ones use a barrel connector, I am unsure of the size however. Possibly size N.

The inserts are not aluminum. For the money if your fixing the wonderful Triton ya cant go wrong. I did the fix with Head in place and it worked fine.

Yep, the new ones come with the rubber one preinstalled and the aluminum/titanium in the box so u can swap it out.

These are the exact same brass (I think. Aluminum maybe.) lids as any other mason jar lid. It just has a special coating on the outside of the lid that makes it look old.

Mine all stainless except for the handle which is a copper alloy and the relief valve which is brass. Not a bit of aluminum in it

I didn't buy brass hose connector. The original plastic one still works well.

Still love the system. We changed the plastic adaptor with copper adaptors. I wouldn't recommend changing the tubing, it fits into the end and seals just so, but the other fittings you can make copper. Lowes helped us find the right fittings. We can taste the difference. Our water isn't really cleaned well here, it taste so much better and don't have to worry about our stomachs not racing well to the water anymore.

Yes. I went to home depot and had to buy 3 brass fittings to get from 1/4" to 1/8"
