Not enough experience yet to give a definitive answer. All the copper alloys are pretty close in the galvanic series in seawater which suggests they will be OK together. Until recently it was not possible to buy DZR skin fittings and hose tails, so some people fitted bronze ones with their DZR valves. I have not come across any problems with this arrangement but it is still relatively early days.

Does anyone have a link for the recent thread about plastic versions?

I posted in #19 about plastic hose fittings and I have posted on several threads in the past about all types of nylon insertion hose fittings but I cannot find any at the mo.

Here are some straight

Here are some 90 degree threaded

We have lots of these type of fittings as being a water poor country we have lots of fittings and pipework for farm irrigation systems. We even have a large fully automatic irrigation system in our garden at home.

Hope this helps and if it not what you are interested in let me know and I will shut up for now.
