I'm going to start replacing the nylon through hulls with stainless steel as I gain access while doing other projects. I've already replaced the thru hulls on the AC units with the SeaChoice Mega Flow dripless hoping to reduce hull staining from water running down the hull side. They are OK. Dripless is accurate, they are not "dripfree".
Now I'm looking to replace the sump pump and sink outlets that are behind the fridge while its out. Do I go with brand name at higher cost or Chinese for about 1/2 the cost? None of these fitting are below the water line, mostly pump and drain outlets. There are quite a few so the $$ adds up. Probably several hundred over all.
Example 1 1/2 Barb
Defender has Groco for $56 each Amazon has Keehui for $31
