Review on 🦈 SharkBite 22186 4 Inch Push Connect Plumbing Solution by Joe Glass

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Defect - Leak

I installed two of them for water filters. One of them works fine. The other, however, flows through the copper wall! I don't know how that's even possible. To be clear, the leak appears to be at or at no connection point. It flows through the brass wall. It's a slow leak, but a leak nonetheless. Another commenter had the exact same problem. Now I have to buy another one and solder everything and this is a nightmare due to an obvious manufacturing defect. I was a huge Shark Bites fan, but that's hard to forgive.

Pros
  • Ball valves
Cons
  • Doubt
