saved the day! for pipes, fittings and accessories

Who needs a plumber? Not for me. I'm sure SharkBite saved me hundreds of dollars. Was able to solve my problem on my own. If you can wait two days, this is the way to go!

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • A few little things

Makes installation easier

Sharkbite just makes installation easier. I've used regular joints and yes they are "cheaper" but with Sharkbite it's faster, cleaner and just looks great.

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • Out of style

Plain Push-In Fittings

These push-in fittings are much easier to install than expansion valve fittings or compression fittings, especially if you're working on an existing pipe that you can't immediately lower to the ground for installation. These fittings also have the advantage of rotating on the pipe; Unlike other fittings, you do not have to worry about the exact alignment during installation. It's also a lot easier to remove and reuse these fittings if the need arises for whatever reason. (Removal requires aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • High support and durability ratings from testers
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product

SharkBite Products: Rough Plumbing

Install a three-stage filtration system for your entire home using 1" SharkBite fittings, valves and white SharkBite PEX tubing. It's a premium part, but you get a premium part that advertises what it is supposed to do and it does. No leaks from 12 fittings at 80 PSI. Took 3 hours to cut, assemble and install. Project planning took twice as long. It was lovely to see the water flowing out of the faucets to see and know that the filter project was a success. Our water tastes great and feelsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Weight

Critical Design Error

TL;DR: The plastic sleeve in the fittings is loose and poorly constructed, causing a crash if installed incorrectly. I just installed two 90 degree elbows and a 1 inch PEX ball valve that my home builder left open in my garage. The hinge was supposed to be for a water softener, but since we don't need a water softener for our location (not sure what they thought, nobody in our area uses one), it hung about 24 inches in my garage/workshop, which I think is a serious one represented danger.

Pros
  • Absolutely Amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
