Efficient SharkBite U3362LFA Slip Tee: 1/2 inch x 🦈 1/2 inch x 1/2 inch Brass - Easy Plumbing Solution Review

Really works. Expensive, but worth it for the right application. I had copper close to the joists, horizontal with water retention. no problem

I had to run into a copper water pipe that had no outlet in either direction. This "T" is expensive, but I finished the faucet in less than 5 minutes.

The sliding version is much easier to use than the regular version when trying to fix copper where there is no flexibility. The clips work well, but if you want to use them, spend big and get a release pliers. They make the job a lot easier because you're never in the perfect spot when plumbing.

Difficult to explain but important in cases where you want to use shark bite to make a T in a pipe, where this is not possible Separate the ends after cutting the section. It dries completely within a year. However, I only use shark bites on an exposed wall or ceiling so I can test them just to be safe.

I have been using their fittings since 2012 to replace the hot water tank barrier or add barriers to zones. Look at my photos and you will see how little water flows through a ¼ inch refrigerator saddle valve. In the pipe I removed for the tee, I drilled a hole for comparison. I also bought a quarter turn check valve. Just unplug the pipe, make a good mark on the 1" insert, and you're good to go.

Unfortunately, it was so hard that the jet jumped out of my hand and into my forehead. Less pain than a small cut that could easily have gotten into my eye.

You can buy a cheap horseshoe tool or buy a more expensive clamp. Buy a collar! This makes it much easier to detach the 1st whistle when you put it on another whistle. Keep in mind that it still takes some effort to put it on another pipe. That's why the clip makes it easier to release one side…

I'd like to start by saying I'm familiar with copper sweating from a DIY perspective, but I wanted to see for myself what SharkBite and PEX have to offer. My project involved connecting a water powered sump pump to an existing 3/4" copper line. I went with SharkBite and PEX and now I'm convinced it's great to see what magic kept it from leaking after installation. I scoffed at the idea that I could fit this little device to my existing boiler and not find any leaks. I was wrong. Since…
