Review on SharkBite U362LFA Plumbing Connector Fittings by Brian Rivenbark

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works well but know how to use

I have ordered many of these. That winter when we had the polar vortex, a lot of our pipe connections started leaking - they're old copper pipe and I think the solder joints were damaged from the extreme cold. So I gradually replaced the worst ones first. They're easy to use, but you MUST know how to make them. And you can't use a hacksaw like I originally tried and messed up, and they're pretty hard to remove even with tools. But they are strong and much easier than soldering.

Pros
  • INSTALLS IN ONE SECOND: No special tools, soldering, crimping or gluing; Just press the adapter to make a waterproof connection
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
