SharkBite 1 Inch 90 Degree Elbow, Push to Connect Brass Plumbing Fitting, PEX Pipe, Copper, CPVC, PE-RT, HDPE, U260LFA

Ive been slow to trust these things. Im pretty good at soldering, but these are so much more convenient, and safer than soldering pipe with a torch. The reason Ive been slow is Ive seen a couple of examples of the latest-and-greatest building products or recommendations not holding up in the long term. Like aluminum wiring that was installed in so many homes in the 1960s, for example. Or header beams built to code back then that have sagged over time. So the idea of putting these things behind walls where they couldnt be quickly reached and replaced wasnt so appealing to me. But as I said, after putting in a few, the convenience has won me over. Theyre a little tricky to install when you cant move the pipes a little to make room for them, but otherwise it makes the job simple and easy. So Ive come around and started using them more.

These sharkBite connectors come in handy for emergency repair when working on copper pipe. Very easy to use and they do not leak.

Bag of 10 half is defective I can not used

Easy to work with cut pipe copper Clean the burners off usual little bit of soap on it and it slides right in I highly recommend anyone can do it.

I live in an older home with copper piping. A pin hole leak can quickly add expense to my water bill and cause damage. After I had yet another leak and called the plumber yet again I was told it would be a few days I would have to wait. I called another and he didnt show up. I was frustrated and went to a home improvement store to find a temporary fix to await my usual plumber. Someone there told me about the Sharkbite brand and parts. I bought what I needed. Watched a few youtube videos and gave it a try. It was so easy, installed as expected. It took me longer to watch the youtube video than fix the leak myself. It cost me less than $50 and my last leak was $175 to the plumber. I have since found a few more and one where a weld by my plumber didnt work and was leaking just a bit. LOVE I can get these from Amazon. Save yourself some money and have repairs that work and dont leak with this brands parts. HIGHLY recommend.

Couldnt get any better, thanks!

These SharkBite fittings are the best when working with PEX pipe. If the pipe is cut square and clean (use the appropriate cutter!), the fittings can be installed by hand, allowing easy installation by a do it your selfer. When I bought my house 8 years ago I had it entirely re-plumbed with PEX while remodeling. Had I known how easy it was I might have taken that job on myself instead of hiring the plumber. On second thought, maybe not, but simple jobs are a snap with these fittings!
