Don't know exact plastic but agree with the other two replies about durability. I've been using the same parts from Gardena for over 30 years-I also have had to replace only the O-rings

All visible part are some sort of plastic but, whatever the type, these connectors continue to function faultlessly, making it easy to switch quickly from one type of watering device to another.

No metal parts. Plastic is like that of football helmets. Very durable. Best connectors on the market.

Gardena does not specify material: I've been using irrigation parts in a garden with multiple connectors for over 15 years. Very reliable, the only part needing replacement are the "O" rings that seal the connection.

I do not know what kind of plastic, its strong what ever it is. there are no metal parts anywhere in ether the male piece nor in the quick connect female piece.I also know that if you buy the car wash brush Gardena 987, you have to have this quick connect female piece Gardena 36944, which was not in the Amazon description. THIS SHOULD BE IN THE AMAZON DESCRIPTION OF THE CAR WASH BRUSH GARDENA 987

No Melamine here! Only ABS plastic that is ABS and Phthalates free. There are new reports questioning the safety of melamine. I hope you will check them out.

ABS is BLACK plastic pipe & ONLY used for DWV (drain, waste, vent). Since it's 1/2 inch I assume you mean CPVC, since PVC is not rated for indoor plumbing (That's the WHITE plastic you use for sprinkler system) If it's BEIGE plastic pipe you probably have CPVC, why not JUST STICK with CPVC fittings? Are you talking new construction or remodel?? If you have "PVC" pipe run through your house by a "handyman" rip it out. It wont last (esp for HOT water) EDIT TO ADD: The above Crimps wont work with CPVC, it's a hard pipe. PEX is soft pipe like rubber tubing.

Plastic; the only metal was the hose connections. In my opinion it was advertised as being aluminum and actually came in a box labeled as aluminum. Consequently, it was not worth what I paid for it.

It looks to me like ABS plastic. Certainly up to the job though. Feels plenty strong.

Yes, not metal, but works fine. But don't buy any other connectors, for example "People who bought this also bought..." and they show you a brass hose connector, I bought it, it didn't fit, my bad, so I have another connector in my plumbing tool kit!!

All the parts that contact the soap are plastic except the outlet tube. Plastic is fine for the parts that are plastic. I needed the stainless outlet tube because I had a brass dispenser and Dawn was reacting with the brass and producing a greenish corrosion that was sometimes plugging up the tube. On this one the tube appears to be stainless and is pressed into the plastic pump parts, so that Dawn only contacts plastic and stainless.

I don't think they sell just a clamp. The one I bought the clamp is metal not plastic

BPA and phthalates are plastic additives. PVC is "plastic." Since this is an aluminum rail, you don't have to worry. The paint may be a different story.

The tension rods are metal and the snap connectors are plastic. The plastic connectors don't appear that they would break with normal installation.

Seems to be ABS type plastic. Haven't had any problems with it so far and it works well. It is a friction type retention.

I have used this welder to repair polypropylene parts on an older 4 wheeler with good results. The manual says it can be used on ABS.Don

Agree with the previous answer: the USB connector is metal, but all else is plastic. The plastic has been molded *thick enough* to *not* be easily breakable.

Found many listings for hose's on Amazons site. That said save yourself a problem and buy one made of metal not the plastic that these come with. I have had to replace 4 already over the last 3 years due to the connector breaking.
