🦈 Sharkbite 25560LFA Washing Machine Angle Valve: Push-to-Connect for Copper, PEX, CPVC, PE-RT Pipes - 1/2" x 3/4" MHT Garden Hose Valve Included Review

Used them when I needed to fix a washing machine shut-off valve. I don't have the skills to solder copper so I used this to attach it to the pipe. It's so simple, so simple that I was afraid it wouldn't work. I turned the water back on and waited for this thing to come out of the pipe. It's super durable and waterproof. It was the perfect job.

The hot water valve has a nearly constant flow when closed, about a gallon per hour. They were cycled on and off at the washing machine valve more often than usual, 2-3 times a day…

we just moved into an old house. The washing machine connections were badly rusted but as we had just moved we didn't have the extra money to hire someone to fix them right away. went through a few tutorials online, came across a video of someone installing sharkbite valves and bought them along with a pipe cutter and deburring tool. I was skeptical that it was that easy because it seemed too good to be true, but it worked great and I finished it in under half an hour! A few tips I saw in the…
