Not all plastic is created equally.  Nylon is strong and lightweight but
deforms with any heat or strain.  PVC and CPVC and other home type plastic
fittings are not very strong or flexible in rough conditions like marine
use.  They are not approved for thru-hulls for that reason.
 
The Marlon fittings are lightweight, strong, and very expensive.  Bronze is
probably the best choice but it's heavy and wicks heat from the hot water
heater causing a loss of efficiency unless well insulated.  The Marlon
fittings have less heat conductivity and other than their expense, they may
be the best overall solution for hot water connections.  Avoid brass.  Many
people confuse brass for bronze but brass dissolves (corrodes) in a salt
environment.  It's cheaper than bronze but still not a bargain.
 
Anyway, that is just my opinion and not necessarily the final word on this
subject.  I think Marlon may be the only fitting material I haven't
destroyed in my nautical career.  (Destruction is my middle name)
 
Before I answered this email, I did a quick search on "Marlon" and in 5
minutes I wasn't any smarter about Marlon than before I started but I now
know tons of worthless trivia about Marlon Brando which I don't think will
appreciably improve my life.

Also I noticed  if you tighten them too tight they deform and take a non
circular shape

Larry check the plastic fitting at the hot water tank, they are prone to
cracking due to the heat.Replace it with brass their almost the same price.
