Are the inlet and outlet connectors plastic? In the photo they look to be plastic, but perhaps they are just painted black aluminum?

Yep aluminum, they come with bushings installed for larger hoses if needed/wanted....

No they are aluminum. What you are seeing are plastic sleeves that were there I assume for shipping.

Mine is bright aluminum on four sides, what appears to be black plastic ends.

Unsure, they are stainless and attached however the copper layer is only in the base.

I cannot speak for the non-oem, but I ordered Genuine Honda 08L04-SZA-110 Crossbar for the year of my Honda pilot and the ends are not plastic. I believe that they are aluminum (or some other type of metal). We ordered ours back in August 2013 (through Amazon) and have been happy with them ever since.

It is an aluminum radiator. The tanks are also, no plastic in this unit at all.

They are plastic over aluminum. The full structure of the part is all aluminum. It's more rigid and sturdy that I expected it to be.

The clamps are indeed made of plastic, but are rather beefy in construction. They should hold up as long as they aren't run over by vehicles or clamped to exhaust manifolds or other very hot surfaces.

By connectors do you mean the tubing? I had to buy that separately, what you see in the picture is exactly what you get. Hope that helps!

Hi Linda,The black plastic is a "T" filter housing. One end is a blank cap for filter changing, one end connects to your water source, and the last one is the outlet for filtered water to the misting system.

No, no plastic parts making contact, and even more important, the heating chamber is made of stainless steel, so no fear of aluminum intake.

it has been about 8 or 9 months since I installed these in some led yard fixtures that I made and I can't remember if they were plastic or not. However they work great. Were easy to install and very inexpensive. If they are plastic it's a non issue as far as I'm concerned.

The bars are metal... the connector is hard plastic and rubber... good quality

The silver parts are metal. The handle and plastic tube that connects the tip to the handle are plastic, as well as the blue dome. The black end cap is also plastic, but removes to reveal a mini usb port.

My first order was consistent of a plastic material on the external shell. I recently ordered a replacement and it is aluminum with black paint. So I am seriously beginning to wonder myself as well.

Hey Wareren, .. ok, I took a knife too one of my connectors; though it all looks like copper, I was however, able to cut a surface layer off identifying aluminum. Weight also doesn't line up with what would the weight of 25' of copper cables. I will note, they have worked fine for the occasional use that I had need of them. I still really like the quality connectors, all the rubber, and the carrying case is of better quality than I expected. Personally at this price point & again, for what I'm using them for, I would buy again. Note: Though these are called "commercial duty", I would not buy them for commercial use!
