Where were you all my life.

They dont leak

A little pricey, but make plumbing a breeze. Bought several extra. Going to replace all of my plumbing with this type.

I love using SharBite PEX products. If you watch a brief video on YouTube, they will show you how to install their products. I’ve used this stuff on several projects and so far they have held up great.

Good product

Sharkbite fittings were my solution to not only replacing 2 outdoor spigots, but also found them so easy to use that I put in a spigot where I had needed one for a long time. I put in 23 feet of copper pipe to where I wanted the spigot using different types of Sharbite fittings. Very easy to do!! I would recommend that you buy the release tool.... and yes these can be taken off & used again. Also purchase the deburring tool that not only deburrs but when you put the pipe all the way into it that is the dept it should be inside the fitting. Just used a sharpie to mark that dept on the pipe. Then when your putting on the fitting you know its in correctly. They also make check valves, and I used them to stop hose water from coming back into the house. The one problem I ran into was that the pipes will rotate with these fittings. Thats a good thing when your laying out the pipes, but when you have a spigot at the end you dont want it to rotate :) So I used Milford straps. These wrap around the pipe on the end & have screws you tighten to stop it from moving at all!! The spigots I installed are compression connections........so no torch and soldering. Make straight pipe cuts, use the right tools and your ready to go. Used 10 SharBite fittings and not one dip of water from any of them!

Considering the difficulty of getting a plumber to come over, during the pandemic, and perform an outdoor spigot install, I was delighted to discover I can DIY it! The job required tapping into an existing water line with new PEX tubing and establish a new freeze-proof spigot on the outside of my house, and I can do this every bit as professionally as was done years ago by a professional! By doing this myself, I was able to incorporate my personal preferences like where the spigot should be installed for owner/user convenience (NOT in a crawl space no more than two feet high, spigot design that ensures no freeze-ups, angular considerations to ensure line drainage when turned off, etc. Thank you, SharkBite for making this possible!

great product

Shark bites are fantastic if you do not solder/sweat pipes. These were an awesome price and worked perfectly. Much cheaper than home depot or lowes.
