## Description

Product Description CUT. PUSH. DONE. Innovative push-to-connect design makes for quick and easy installation. Connect two pieces of PEX, copper, CPVC, PE-RT and/or HDPE tubing in any combination. Use the right tool for the job with the connector that is ideal for working in tight spaces. Faster install time and ease of use reduces installation errors. The SharkBite Connection System makes any plumbing project fast and easy thanks to unique push-to-connect technology. When you insert a pipe into a SharkBite quick-connect fitting, the fitting's stainless-steel teeth bite down and grip the pipe, while its special O-ring compresses to create a watertight seal. From the Manufacturer SharkBite is the push-fit connection system that's really taking hold. It's the easiest way to join copper, CPVC or PEX pipe in any combination - with no soldering, clamps, unions or glue. Just insert the pipe and the stainless steel teeth bite down and grip tight, while a specially formulated O-ring compresses to create a perfect seal. Disassembly is just as fast using the simple disconnect tool. So fittings and valves can be easily changed and reused. They can even be rotated after assembly for easier installation in tight spaces. Get SharkBite, and get a grip on your next plumbing project. These fittings are lead free and meet all requirements for plumbing in California and Vermont.

Review: A Real Game changer! - I've never worked with plumbing until recently. I've done several successfully on my 1955 home using sharkbite products. It's amazingly easy to use and cost effective. You can use it on copper or pex or to connect the two together. You can also use it to connect a straight pipe to a screw on connector. You can get shark bite bite on and off valves as well. I suggest that you check around for pricing. They vary wildly on different sites and stores. I also strongly suggest that if you are a new to the use of this product and or plumbing that you visit YouTube and watch some of the DIY videos related to your project. There are numerous videos available by both professionals and DIY's. Believe me, you will feel much more confident after you watch one or more of these videos. The sharkbite product has held well according to studies and the few that failed were thought to be due to burrs. To deburr your pipe use a deburring product on the end of each pipe or use sand paper or a nail file to sand until the end is smooth. Also the sharkbite must be inserted to the proper depth. Videos will show you how to do this simple step. You can also choose to insert a shut off valve which may come in handy in the future at relevant sites. Pex is supposed to be superior to copper. I have found that pex is very cheap, easy to work with, and useful for patches. There are different kinds of pex. Pex A and pex B are what you will usually see available. Pex A is more flexible and expands, it is freeze resistant. You should use this if you live in a cold climate. It is also easier to use for small patches, like a few feet or less. I haven't seen Pex A for sale on desertcart but I've seen it at the local hardware and on ebay. Pex B is stiffer and harder to bend or straighten however warming it up helps. If you are using pex be sure to use the proper type particularly around hot water heaters. Hope that helps! Good luck on your project!
Review: Fantastic option to repair minor pipe damage - First, I have to say I'm not the handiest person in the world. I've done many minor general repairs around my home over the years, but plumbing issues have always been kind of intimidating. Unfortunately, several months ago one of my pex pipes under the house, leading to the kitchen sink, was chewed up by an animal that had managed to sneak down there. After researching the issue I attempted a couple of repairs that didn't get the job done. While researching what other options I had online, I ran into many repair sites that raved about SharkBites for jobs such as the one I needed done. I talked to someone I knew who had used one in the past and likewise had nothing but positive things to say about them. I didn't have money for a plumber so based on all the positive reviews and word of mouth gave this item a shot. It worked pefectly. I purchased a tubing cutter along with this, measured how much pex I'd have to cut, got under the house and it literally took me less than five minutes to cut the pex and install the SharkBite. I did this eight months ago and the repair is still holding strong. The only thing I'd advise is that this item doesn't come with the removal tool, so I'd highly suggest getting that along with this. If you end up installing it incorrectly or unevenly, its very difficult to remove with the tool. Installation doesn't require a tool, only removal. I can't even stress how relieved I was to find the SharkBite and that it was so easy to install. Highly recommended to repair minor holes in pipes or as a general coupler to join two pieces together.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can these work piping that connects baseboard (hydronic) heaters?**
A: I cut open a 3/4 baseboard water heating line by mistake with sawzaw about 12 years ago.  No leaks and no issues.  However it won’t fit on finned baseboard heating element because it’s too small in diameter.  You’ll have to sweat a pipe to element then connect shark bite.  Good luck!

**Q: Do these require a stiffener be placed in the pex pipe prior to use? Or do the have a stiffener in them already?**
A: Hello, SharkBite fittings already come with the PEX stiffener pre-installed.  It is the white plastic piece you see in the picture on the inside of the fitting.

**Q: Will this in an travel trailer?I am concerned that it could come loose while bouncing down the road.**
A: Yes, they will work fine in a travel trailer. The ends of the tubing must be clean and square and be sure they are fully inserted. Also there must be no side pressure when they are tightened down...which sometimes is challenging when working in very tight areas of a trailer.

**Q: I need to repair a 1/4" copper water line. The Shark Bite website describes this item's size as "1/4" (3/8" OD) X 1/4" (3/8" OD)." Will this work?**
A: The above answer from max is 100 % correct. This is for 3/8 od (outside diameter) the inside diameter is 1/4. As far as I have read the listing size is for Id (inside diamiter). I made the same mistake and bought the wrong size.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect of working on existing plumbing
*by H***R on August 10, 2022*

Trying to solder wet plumbing is really hard to do properly and using a torch runs the risk of setting your house on fire. These fittings solve those problems. The fittings are well made and easy to use, just make sure to follow directions. A clean cut (don't use a hack saw!) and a clean pipe is vital to prevent leaks. I watched some videos on-line to avoid making mistakes. The tools that they sell for de-burring the cut, marking the installation depth, and undoing the fitting if necessary don't cost very much and I highly recommend that you buy them.
