Fast delivery best for pipe, fittings and accessories

Buy a few spares and they'll be dispatched in no time. Shark bites are easy to use and it's always a good idea to have a spare fitting in case the polybutylene runs out.

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • Older model

They're great for repairs

These things work really well, especially when changing from old polybutylene tubing to PEX or copper. I keep at least two of these on hand, along with a piece of PEX pipe for repairs.

Pros
  • Some competitors
Cons
  • Upgrades

Perfect plumbing solution for my RV

I have an old PV tube for my sinks and they don't make faucets and more. I was able to use Shark Bite to get from the PV tube to the copper and then to the new valve. Highly recommended for renovation.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Expandable

Great for quick fixes (and if like me you have no idea what you're doing!)

Based on some of the other reviews I was a bit hesitant at first but then thought it would be a lot easier to try and if that doesn't work, I would try other options. Installation was easy (I also used the SharkBite measuring tool) and no leaks! It's been a few months but no problems!

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Very expensive

THE BEST SOLUTION FOR POLYBUTYLENE PIPE REPAIR

If you have polybutylene pipes, this is a life saver. My sister had two leaks at the joints of her polybutylene pipes. These couplings allowed us to carry out repairs in PEX. We'll eventually rebuild everything in PEX, but this product did a great job as a temporary fix. If you have polybutylene, you should have some 1/2 and 3/4 sizes on hand. They are often difficult to find locally.

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Suitable

Great product suitable for pipe fittings

For those of us with older polybutylene pipework these Sharkbite connections are ideal for replacing leaking polybutylene pipe and fittings with more modern PEX or PVC during renovation jobs. lines and accessories. The gray side of the PB is pressed onto the old PB tube - this takes some effort. Sharkbite is easier to press against PEX, PVC or copper. These Sharkbite connectors are very well designed. TIP: Don't forget to use the Sharkbite pipe deburring tool and depth tool to properly align…

Pros
  • Hands free operation
Cons
  • Negative moment present
