Desuperheater piping vibration isolation ideahs

I have a ClimateMaster 5 ton water to water that I installed a few years ago. The desuperheater lines are plumbed using 1/2" copper. To reduce noise and vibration transfer I used 1/2" FIP faucet connectors. They work great for a year or so until the vibration wears out the rubber seats and they start to leak.
So now I need to replace these and I don't want to use rigid connections. Any ideahs out there?

Pex. Not a good idea to restrict that flow that much. Why not anchor the pipe? Why not use copper all the way? Hangers are not something to be avoided, they are our friends.
Cost is what you spend , value is what you get.

When using hangers noise from compressor tends to travel through copper specially when mounting to any wood framing. Those hoses have not hindered flow. Pex pipe is not to be used on desuperheater piping is what I understand, CM and many other heat pump manufacturers specify for them to be piped with copper. Piping them with aquatherm may work well come to think of it.0
