This one is the Shooters Design POM nozzle....others will be different colours/materials. The floating valve can be plastic, SS or brass...depending on what make you have.

I also noticed that the floating valve that comes with the SD nozzle have is thicker than the stock marui valve, leading to the SD valve 'sticking' to the nozzle when gas pushes the valve to close up the nozzle when the gun is fired.
I dunno whether there is an issue with the stock floating valve slightly 'leaking' gas out of the nozzle when the gas is redirected for the blowback effect (due to the pressure inside the nozzle being greater than atmostpheric pressure) but if you want a perfect air-seal, then using the SD nozzle and the stiffer valve spring that comes with the nine ball dyna piston head may be the solution. However; a high flow valve is probably needed for the valve to close quick enough since I tried it on my stock MEU mag with the SD nozzle + NB valve spring and if I remember correctly I ran out of green gas in 5 to 6 shots.
Does anyone have experience with using high flow valves with 1911/MEU mags? I would like to install them for my MEU build but I don't want a real-cap capacity. If I can shoot 10-15 bbs quickly (as fast as I can pull the trigger) and the slide still locks back, I'll go with the upgrades. So far my stock MEU mag in my MEU can shoot 18 bbs quickly and lock back on the last shot with green gas.
EDIT:
Okay, I've tried out the Nine Ball purple gas router rubbers on the MEU mag.
The size is different from a normal MEU rubber; the hi capa / nine ball ones sit higher than the MEU ones leading to the nozzle sticking to the mag due to the friction between the nozzle and the rubber router.
The rubber also doesnt have a notch for the mag lip pin to go through it. However, the rubber blocking the pin hole only covers half of the hole and if you jam a hex key to squeeze the rubber away from the pin hole while inserting the mag lip pin, the pin will fit right through.
So, although the gas routers FIT the MEU mag, it doesn't fit the whole pistol assembly. Kinda disappointing since I would've thought the NB rubber had the best air seal and now that I can't fit it in my MEU, I will never reach my goal of having the best air seal possible for a GBB pistol.
