Review on SharkBite Reducing Coupling Connect Copper by Jaymai Alford

We had a major burst pipe in our house. I needed to top up some water for daily use and chose this product. It's very easy to use. It's fast, comfortable, no sweat required, and the use of PEX tubing is a huge benefit. I cut our main window, created a timeline and got the toilet working again. Point is, none of that was behind the wall. When water flows through the tubes and hits the shark bite connection, the water flows out of the product. I haven't had any major leaks and dripping into the basement where I made the change is no problem. I can test and track this down before it becomes a bigger problem, but I wouldn't feel comfortable covering it with drywall. I thought about this all the time, wondering if there would come a day when a small leak would grow into a major one and I would be back where I started after all the previous water damage had been repaired. To make sure it wasn't just an accident, and when I routed the line to other parts of the system, all the "shark bite" connections I used had at least a small leak. Great idea, great in a pinch, but not that I'd seal the wall.
