A plumber is concerned about the reliability of plastic quick-connect fittings on a new pressure tank, fearing leaks that could cause catastrophic water damage in a slab-on-grade house.

Existing quick-connect fittings are plastic with O-ring seals, which the user perceives as unreliable compared to solid threaded connections, and there is no standard adaptor that allows a secure threaded connection without moving the tank tee too far from the tank.
