How to use Sharkbite end stop

[hardy]

Perfect -- short video that reassured me as it seems easy but it's my first time. Thank you.

Thanks, & yes it was helpful.
I just found one I installed last year is leaking under the pressure of the disposal.
Now I know why.

Fantastic video! I’ve soldered a standard cap on a horizontal pipe 3 times. Water sprayed out a pin hole twice. 3rd time no leak for a half hour. So I walked away from it. Next day it was dripping. I’m not a plumber but I’ve sweat a hundred copper connections in my life but never a cap I guess. This was an existing capped off old copper pipe from previous home owner that started to form a drip. Lived in the house for 5 years. It looks like it’s old. I cut off the end. Cleaned very good. Used new caps all 3 times. I’ve never ran into this. There’s no water in the line, there’s no pressure as I have an old unused down pipe with a valve I’m able to open. I’ve read and heard bad things about Sharkbites over the years but this cap is frustrating the hell out of me and I’m thinking of going this route. Do they hold up over time? The fact it even started to leak in the first place over time, call me crazy but I think there’s something going on with the actual pipe but because that’s the only logical explanation I can come up with. For some reason soldering the new to the old (very clean) pipe isn’t fully taking. I’m sure it’s user error but like I said, I’ve had a drip before and re-soldered the joint and. Never had an issue again.

I found that 1/2 copper pipe has OD of 5/8 inch. Does the Sharkbike 1/2 in cap fit to the 1/2 inch copper pipe?

Do I need to make a mark when it is an end cap?

Very good video. I am trying this for the first time and your video was very helpful.

Do you need to remove plastic stiffener in connector when using copper pipe ? Thanks

What happens if I add JB weld for extra protection
