How To Remove A Shark Bite Plumbing Fitting EASILY with or without tool

Here is a very quick little video to show you how to remove a sharkbite fitting with the tool or without the tool using an adjustable wrench.

A different way to remove sharkbite fitting without a special tool. This is helpful when you need to release a sharkbite fitting in tight space where the special tool won't fit. A strong zip tie and consistent pressure as you slide it off can get you of a jam in a tight space.

It's Feb 2024 and you're still saving some of us a trip back to the hardware store. 👍🍻

This was the most straightforward and easy video on this after five attempts. Thank you

New home owner here. Exactly what I needed instead of going to buy new fittings. Learned something new that I can teach my son one day!

June 2020, plumbing emergency, needed to learn how to remove a SharkBite, thank you for saving my life...

Rob, a huge thank you for the crescent wrench tip. The factory release key didn’t work, however the wrench worked first try with zero effort. You saved me a 30 mile round trip to the lumber store to buy replacement fittings to replace the ones I was about to cut off and throw away. All told, an easy $50 tip! Definitely subscribing and a like Thanks.

My husband instructed me to find a video and yours popped up first. Just what we needed. Thank you very much.

Thanks for the very helpful tip on using a 🔧 to remove the fitting I wish I would have found this video sooner before I ruined a couple of fittings trying to figure it out 😅

[peterkelly]

Good video and thanks for not feeling the need to give us the history of indoor plumbing

Going to change my first sink shutoff valve, every guide is on threaded fittings and not pex, and I bought the wrong shit but thisll really help when i get back with the right one

[bcsimpilot]

Wow Rob, Now THIS is why I rely on Youtube for all my worldly wisdom I require!! I forgot I even had that Shark connector denture! Once again, thank you for your deep and mystic pipe wisdom! YOU DAH MAN!

I couldn't get it off using the shark bite piece; but when I used the ranch, it pop right off. So thanks for posting, saved me some trouble. 👍🙂

[battlechurchapostolicminis]

Thanks, I’m not a plumber nor do I want to be one lol, I used the crescent n it worked, appreciate it 😊

[TheKentuckyNightmare]

Great video! Allowed me, a complete beginner, to easily remove a shark bite end from both copper and Pex! Thanks!

[kickstand]

At least one dude mentioned this already but ABSOLUTELY give it a few turns before attempting removal. Makes a world of difference. I’ve remove thousands of these. I use the tongs but that orange thing or pinch wrench works in a ounce.

THIS is what an instructional video should be. Direct, to the point, and brief. Thank you. The crescent wrench saved me as I couldn't get in a leveraged position with the tool.

[khophea]

[denisperkins]
