Can aluminum pipe be used with duotight fittings? I read that copper can be used, so aluminum seems possible. I need 1" to connect a spunding valve to a ball lock. I don't wanna pay $10 shipping for a 95 cent tube, Plus I like the idea of a rigid pipe connecting the two so it doesn't flop around.
Aluminum instead of EVA PET tubing

I would not, you could get dissimilar metal corrosion with the teeth of the fitting and if you clean it with one or sanitize with starsan it will not like that either.
If you have some extra line, I'd just cut off the short section you need and use that for the time being. It will be more flimsy than the more stiff joiner tubes, but you could always add the amount of joiner tubes the next time you have to place an order for grains, gear, etc.
