Are the seals in each hose black rubber or white plastic?

Mine are black rubber. I have this for several years now and there are no leaks at all. I am a home owner, but these gauges have been used quite a bit for my old vehicles as well as a teenage son with friends.

Rubber, don't buy this set I had trouble with the yellow service hose, seals prevented me from serving freon back into the system, removed the seals worked ok. Now I'm stuck with them had to spend more money on a new hose.

The seal is rubber and the quality is such that you could use them for canning or food storage. Buy in confidence.

There is no rubber or plastic seal. It's metal on metal with a very tight fit. Mine doesn't leak.

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

They are set-up Euro style. You will have to buy a new hose olive and insert to switch the hoses because they use a compression style seal plus you have to to bleed the system when finished. It is a lot simpler just to buy them set up the standard way, but they can be switched around.

I do not remember white seals, however I have had no leaks sense replacing the seals over a year ago. It was rather easy to install.

Yes, you are correct on the color. Typically, RVers designate the color white for hoses that are suitable for use in supplying potable water to the RV. The materials used in white potable water hoses do not make the water taste "rubbery" like water from a regular garden hose usually tastes.

Yes, there is a black rubber seal on top. I assume it's there to keep the glass top secured to the bottom of the ss lid. I like it cuz it matches my SS appliances which also have black on them.

Yes, there is a black rubber gasket. I have been using them for sugar & rice storage. They have exactly the kinda seal needed for long shelf secure storage. Hope this helps.

I don't remember if they were thru the sealed connector or just sealed but they are definitely sealed. this thing is great, pumps crazy fast. would buy again.

They are plastic, we bought the black ones and you can't tell any difference where the metal ends and the plastic begins. Very easy to install, took about 2 hrs.. but didn't seem like it. Good buy.

The hoses are a black braided material, don't know if it is stainless covered by plastic. These hoses are also quite short in length, I had to add extension hoses to reach shut off valves.

Lens is clear plastic. Body and rubber outer gasket are black/grey-black. Once installed, they look like original equipment. I am very satisfied with the ease of installation and appearance.

they are plastic but of better quality than other plastic tanks we bought. good traction.

Plastic barb connectors. The metal ones don't adhere to the rubber hose as well and can leak easier.

I believe they are rubber. You have to close the trunk on them as I recall. (My car's parked elsewhere now.)
