They failed to mention one of the biggest improvements in my opinion over the old SharkBite fittings... improved flow! No tube stiffener required for PEX.
Exactly!
Amazing product. Thank you
Awesome!
It’s so easy to use, it feels wrong. So quick, I’m done already.
Just because it says stainless doesn't mean it won't rust away or corrode once the nickel plating wears off. I would NOT use these underground. Did people forget how terrible stainless steel pipes worked for water pipe? Id rather it be made of lead or TI rather than stainless steel.
The older ones required them to be wrapped,: Any SharkBite fitting containing brass must be wrapped when buried because of the different ground conditions that might affect the pipes and fittings. Simply pull, stretch and wrap the silicone tape over the fitting. To ensure a proper seal, overlap the tape by 1 in. past the end of the fitting on each end and ¼ - ½ in. across the fitting.
SharkBite connectors fail from day 1 .... I did pex A expansion and I made a mistake with a fitting, I had to cut the ring with a hot blade, I still couldn't pull of the hose without the ring on it, its super tight, I didn't want to damage the plastic connector by cutting the hose so I just threw that piece away... the SharkBite's is easy to just pop in and swap, but you don't want those connections in the wall, they eventually leak, plus they cost almost double the price of the expansion or compression, I did my own manifold with pex A expansion rings, water heater, main, everything except the valves at the stub out for the water line to connect to sink because I did not have the expansion machine, so I said screw it and got the easy push connects from sharkbite, I only have 12 water lines total, I added a whole house filter, washer machine water box, about 5 shut off valves around the manifold and a water filter bypass, did the water pressure test, all of those compression connections and valves were fine and super tight, out of the 12 valves I had issues with one SharkBite drop ear and the SharkBite water valve leaking, theyre pushed all the way in, cleaned each pipe before connection, so before we put the drywall up I am going to home depot to swap all of those SharkBite's out because I am not trying to have water damage after all this work was done. SharkBite's are easy to use, cost more money but no tool to buy, thats the only reason I got these, but I have these push connects for airline(other brand of course) but these airlines always end up leaking and they need to be replaced, so I didnt really want to use sharkbite but was being lazy, I had a 2nd plumber come out to do the shower drains and even he was asking me why did I not use the same expansion rings for everything? SharkBite's are not good he said and to use the compression at least because the tool is cheap, since I don't want to buy the expansion Milwaukee gun for $500. Back to home depot.
I love sharkbite. Something satisfying about having a homeowner pay me to fix them when they break. Hehe. How these got behind wall approved is beyond me. You can't call it a permanent fix when an electician with a wrench can remove them.
Wheres the laugh reaction on this thing? XD XD XD
Real professionals never use shark bite fittings.
then u must b a rookie been usen them long time no prob
Plumbers hate sharkbites because it's making jobs they charge hundreds of dollars for into DIY jobs.
@@JamesBrown-db9pk dafuq!? Any shop I have ever worked for demands they be off limits. Only in emergency repair situations, where we will come back to do the job right, or if the customer signs off on the warranty when asking for them to be used. You may have not had trouble installing them, but you clearly dont know the longevity of the fitting, how would you? Youre either a hack or a troll. Either one looks ugly on you...
@@blackhawkvenom5724 No, we dont use sharkbites because they dont last 50-100 years like copper fittings do...
I bet you use propress which still relies on an oring
