Since you've used a good number of the keywords necessary to find the answer to your question, I'm forced to assume that you're far too stupid to understand that answer, even if I fed it to you with a cute little spoon and made airplane noises.
Feel free to assume that it's because of one or more of the following

Really, when you're this stupid, your imagination is the only limit. Feel free to come up with any answer and run with it. Bonus points if you share it on social media IN LENGTHY ALL CAPS POSTS with no punctuation and lots of spelling errors.

aluminum oxide aka anodizing is non conductive

Thread tape the dingus ends if you're concerned about catching the galvanic gooch rot.

teflon tape does not provide electrical insulation. it fills the gaps where the metal does not touch, but in general the metal will cut through the tape. this is 100% true for pipe fittings, and probably true for OP and his hose that he's using to provide water to the ISS and has to comply with the galvanic corrosion spec.

Kek. I have like a year old hose that’s already fucking seized. I feel ya breh. That hose bib is coming off whenever the hose is done. What a shitty idea, especially considering it’s the better model from Home Depot with big fittings that looked easy to remove.

>>2792435
you realize that is still get conducted by the water itself? even if Teflon isolated it water itself connects the different metals.

>>2792429
plastic to metal is horrible bro if you use similar metal connection you can cross thread plastic to metal is worse.

I just don't wanna fuck up my eley reel cause of some shitty anodized aluminum connection.

>electrical insulation a primary concern on a fucking garden hose
The Nigga Whats are off the scale, Doc.

If you're super duper cereal concerned about galvanic corrosion at the connectors then don't mix metals. Steel to steel, brass to brass, aluminum to aluminum, plastic yeeted directly into the nearest dumpster where it belongs, etc.

>>2792478
Yes this a high IQ thread discussing electrochemical effect and currents that happen from two dissimilar metals and charge balances.

>worrying about fresh water conductivity
Get a life, breh.

I avoid them like the plague. Galvanic corrosion is a bitch, and the fitting WILL be (possibly permanently) seized if you leave it attached. Unless your hose bibbs are also aluminum (in which case lol), it's absolutely worth looking for brass connections specifically.

Even plastic is better. Not great, but at least you won't have to get the angle grinder out to remove the hose once you need to change it. Already had to do that twice. Even the thickest anodization won't save you. It WILL scratch (a significant portion of outdoor dust is made of alumina, so the hardness of the anodized layer doesn't matter), and, once that happens, corrosion of the rest of the fitting follows fairly quickly.

One trick to keep the connections from sticking is a couple wraps of Teflon tape to function as anti-seize. I've done it for many years. Interestingly some brass hose fitting kits now come with teftape though that's not what it's originally for.

rectorseal t+2 liquid teflon is the butt lube of choice for my plumbing needs

>>2793566
I love that for my compressor plumbing. Rectumseal works a treat.

loctite 545 for compressed air, hydraulics, and non portable plumbing. you can finger tighten fittings and they won't leak if given some cure time
