SharkBite Max 1/2 x 1/2 Inch FNPT Adapter, Push To Connect Brass Plumbing Fitting, PEX Pipe, Copper, CPVC, PE-RT, HDPE, UR072A

The SharkBite brand of water fittings seem to work great, never had one fail yet, and are very easy to install. Would not have been able to make a few of my projects work without great difficulty if not for all the SharkBite fittings I purchased.

I replaced my outdoor sillcock faucets using this connecting up to our 1/2 inch PEX. Even though they say it takes less force to use it took a lot to put it in. Make sure your cut is straight and use the depth guide and deburr tool Sharbite sells for cheap and you won't have to worry about it. For screwing it on I used just a couple wraps of teflon tape and blue Megaloc to ensure there is no leaks. I screwed it all the way down using wrenches. I know some plumbers would say these are temporary only but I have the non-max style I used for my water heater and those have no leaks years later. I will be checking for leaks in the coming weeks/months though just for the piece of mind.

After remodeling a bathroom a few decades ago and fighting endlessly trying to sweat copper pipes and get a good seal while not catching the house on fire with the blow torch, I dreaded the project when a bathtub/shower valve in our recent house needed to replaced. But after checking out options came across these little miracles that make making solid water-tight connections SO MUCH EASIER - and work with different types of materials to boot (e.g. copper to PEX, etc). And if you need to adjust anything? They pop off and can still be used again. Love Love Love these. They've been in place about 9mo now and still holding no drips.

Virtually fool proof, debur poly pipe and Insert (FULLY) Ding done what more could you ask for?

Easy to use makes plumbing simple

I'm not plumber, but these make all plumbing projects super easy. I will buy sharkbite for all future plumbing projects. I do recommend a removal tool to make things easier taking them off.

It is a great fit and is easy to work with. These have been around long enough not to be this expensive.

They are a great value and works great.

Upgraded my shower / bath faucet which required to upgrade the valve and I have no idea how to solder copper pipes and would likely injure myself or burn the place down. Enter SharkBite… OMG they just click onto the pipe! Just sealed up the drywall panel after 2 weeks of usage - zero leakage! HomeDepot per unit price was like +$3 so this savings paid for the tube cutter! Best part though was it came in a 4 pack which is exactly what you need for a shower valve replacement. I literally was gonna call a plumber when I saw the old valve soldered in there. I even figured I’d mess up the fittings and would need to call them in - nope everything went in really easily. Btw my last big home project was changing a burnt bulb, in other words I’m no Bob Villa lol - just to give perspective to “easy”

Excelente, agregas el arrestador y entra muy facil, no necesitas mas,

Easy and safe way to do your plumbing needs The price is so much better on Amazon then the store

Yes they are more money then a barbed connector with a crimp ring but they are so much easier to use. No worry about getting the crimp wrong and if I have issues with my pipe the fact I can take the pipe out and change it is very helpful.

I was nervous at first about these, but I trusted the process and installed them on during my water softener installation and they functioned as designed. Great quality product and no leaks.
