Product review (5 stars): It's cheaper to purchase metal in the long run.
This is a well made product and should last at least 5 years which is the typical time frame for dishwasher, washer, and ice maker replacements to prevent them from creating a water mess which I had happen to me once with the dishwasher and twice with the plastic toilet water hose supply connector (now I use stainless steel water hoses on all machines and toilets).
