What do you guys think about these as a cheaper alternative to SS bulkheads?

We use a lot of John Guest fittings at work and they are very high quality. They will be food grade, but I don't know about how well they would hold up to high temps.

This company sells john guest fittings for use in espresso machines. I doubt our MLTs are higher pressure or temp than espresso machines.

I have these fittings on my MLT. After 20-25 batches, they have held up well. No leaks and they make clean up a snap as all the connections come apart without a wrench.
