SharkBite Fitting - How To Use

SharkeBite Fittings. What are they and how do you use them.

I can't thank you enough! I've spent an amazing amount of time under my kitchen sink (three days) and I finally got this to work. Several trips to the hardware store later, I purchased two Sharkbite valves and after watching you, I installed them in a snap. Not bad for a 73 yr. old grandma!

Thank you for making this video. I am a widow and money forces me to learn to do many things for myself. You have helped me here on my plumbing issue today.

Thank you for show us how to use that kind of fittings. Here in Mexico I supose they are new, a new method to a fast fixing, so when I saw your video I cleaned out some doubts. Greetings from Mexico.

Question - If the CPVC piping is labeled 1/2" would I use 1/2" PEX OR 3/8" PEX? Thanks - Great Vid

[trainmaster]

Isn't there a plastic stiffener that you have to place inside the fitting before pushing in the pex pipe?

[blindluck]

emery cloth is not just sandpaper on a roll. Heading that.

[kathygrochowski]

What size pipes were you connecting ? 1/2 " PVC to 3/4 pex?

Gatorbites were discontinued years ago.

I have a broken pipe in the garage outside wall, how or can I join the two pieces together with shark bite ?

Do you remove the "sleeve" when using copper pipe with the above shark-bites??? Someone else said with copper that the inner white sleeve has to be removed.
