It is my understanding that the reason for using steel fittings is not about
temperature but is about vibration.  Any hose that goes between the engine
and airframe should have steel fittings due to the relative movement between
the engine and airframe.  Aluminum fittings can and will fatigue and fail.  
Also rigid aluminum lines should never be used between engine and airframe.
