If you can, avoid waterhoses with aluminum fittings at all costs. They will quickly weld to any other fitting, including the brass fitting at your house, causing great expense to have them replaced.
I've been unable to find hoses with brass fittings for several years, but noticed this brand at Walmart.
It says female fitting is brass, but I took a file to the male fitting and it appears to be solid brass also.
