Review on SharkBite U008LFA Straight Coupling Plumbing Fitting: PEX Fittings, Push-to-Connect, 1/2 Inch Coupler for PE-RT, HDPE, Copper, CPVC by James Townsend

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Love these connectors

This is my sixth shark bite purchase. They are cool. However, they are overpriced. But that's the best price I've found compared to the big stores. This is very easy. But buy a small parting tool for a few bucks. Plumbers hate shark bite products. And I understand why, because for a simple connection of copper pipes or pex they are not needed. All you need is a small $10 pipe cutter, a black marker, a tape measure and a $5 pipe reamer instead of paying a plumber over $200 to solder a pipe. Sharkbite has a 25 year guarantee. I'll expire way before then, so I don't care.

Pros
  • Speakerphone
Cons
  • Available in black only
