Description

Style:1-Inch 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 pipe in any combination. 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.

  • Initially concerned....
Style: 3/4-Inch
Not gonna lie. When I first got these I was concerned about leaks and waking up to my basement flooding as I had never used them. I'm used to either brazing copper pipes or priming and gluing pvc tubing. I'm a bit of a control guy and when I moved into my house years ago had ripped out the horror that was the tubing entering my basement from the well pump.. put in a whole house filter, pressure tank, other, removable filters and carbon filters, water softener etc. After years of use the softener had given up and the mechanisms sprung leaks all over. I wanted to take that out and instead put in an iron removing filter as our sinks and toilets need constant scrubbing with some of our lighter clothes becoming "work on the car" items due to staining. I read a lot of reviews here and elsewhere about the sharkbite connectors and wound up ordering them.. heck, they were returning so why not? I cut cpvc to length and put connected everything with sharkbite elbows, reducers, and a valves. Once I slipped everything together, crossed my fingers and opened up the water. Hmm,.. so far so good but lets wait and see.. turned on the water throughout the house and watched everything pop and shake as air bled out of the system and pressurized to 70psi. Okay.. so far so good. Cleaned up and went upstairs to eat.. came back down checking for leaks... went to watch tv (The Boys-started slow but ROCKS)... wife and I took turns checking for leaks. Went to bed... got up a few times... and now it's been a few weeks. Not a drop of water and none of the pipes has tried to slip out as we have them all marked for this purpose. These things rock! One of the things I like best is that you can rotate the fittings (ie; the pipes can still move, rotate etc) without leaks which means it's all super forgiving if you get your lengths slightly off and stuff is not 100% straight and true.. it adjusts.. something PVC and Copper do NOT do... and I can also move stuff around a few inches if needed without cutting/de-brazing pipes etc. I'm a convert! ... show more

  • For CPVC, which is NOT going to work for regular PVC. Pay close attention as the search results can lead you astray.
Style: 1-Inch
Didn't realize these were for CPVC, (even though it says it in the listing plain as day) so I didn't end up using them. My mistake, but really wish Amazon had shown me the proper fitting at the top of my search result. If you want *PVC* adapter, make sure it has *WHITE* plastic at the tip, not this bronze color plastic. ... show more

  • This fitting really saved the day
Style: 1/2-Inch
I had to change out a tub valve through a tiny 7 inch round opening . This fitting had 4 pipes: A hot and cold PEX, a PEX running to the shower, and a hard copper line running to the tub spout. All fittings were iron pipe thread into the valve. The PEX fittings will slip and rotate (with some difficulty) so I was able to unscrew them, and I was barely able to fit a mini tubing cutter around the copper to cut it. That's where this SharkBite fitting came in. With a bit of delicate attention to the end of the copper to make sure that it wasn't sharp, this fitting slid right over the copper and allowed me to tighten it into the valve body. Everything lined up like before and nothing leaked. This took all day, but that was due to the tiny opening that i had to work through. This SharkBite was the easiest to install (30 seconds) and everything is just as rigid as before. Well worth the money. My only concern was that there was a bit of solder on the pipe that I delicately filed off. After that I polished it off with 600 grit sandpaper to eliminate any possible remaining file marks. If there had been a solder bump or file groove, it is quite possible that would have resulted in a leak, since the sealing location point is to the outside of the pipe. In the end all worked out well, and I am satisfied. ... show more

  • Sharkbites simplify installations
Style: 3/4-Inch
When I first saw a sharkbite at my local hardware store, I thought, That's gonna be *so* useful ... if it works! I put it in a difficult application, near a pump that vibrates in a system with heated water and fluctuating pressure ... but also in a place where if it blew, it wouldn't flood the house. At the time I thought that the ease of installation was enough ... but now, two pumps and six years later, the ease of disconnecting, and the brute reliability of the connection, has me throwing sharkbites at plumbing problems all over the place! They're polymorphously perverse: you can shove pex, copper, or CPVC in there, and the connection *works*. In places where firing up a torch and soldering is scary (like in the crawlspace under your house) a sharkbite or two works as well, and reduces the anxiety by a couple of orders of magnitude. Talking to my plumbing parts supplier, I asked him if "real plumbers" (I'm a DIY property owner) use sharkbites, and he laughed. "Some hate 'em, because they're too easy," he said. I asked about reliability, and he recounted his company's story: when they first came out, the 'too easy' factor was in everyone's mind ... so they made up a tester with a pressure tank and a couple of sharkbite connections and then used their shop compressor to take the pressure up to about 120psi. For several months, they expected a pop or a hiss, but the pressure held steady. So the apparatus got pushed to the back of a storage area and forgotten for a few years ... and then, at long last, there was the expected whoosh! They pulled the apparatus out, only to find that the pressure tank had rusted through and failed. He did offer a caveat: the only time sharkbites fail is when the pipe being pushed in has a sharp edge, and damages the o-ring. So be sure to eliminate any sharpnesses, and bevel the tube end slightly before shoving. There's a cool little orange tool specifically meant for beveling and marking pex for proper insertion: worth the price. You'll also want the little orange doo-hickey that lets you release the device from the tube for removal. ... show more

  • Over ten years of using these and no issues
Style: 3/4-Inch
I use these fittings where soldering is hard or dangerous . Follow the directions and use their deburring tool. Mark the insertion depth with their tool. I do mildly clean the pipe end with scotch brite pads. If you have room to solder with no fire hazard that is a cheaper way to go, but these are a good complement and substitute for many circumstances . ... show more
