Review on SharkBite U008LFA4 Straight Coupling Push-to-Connect Plumbing Fitting, PEX Fittings, Coupler, PE-RT, HDPE, Copper, CPVC, 1/2 Inch, Pack of 4 by Ralph Foster

This is absolutely the best for DIY or even just plumbing, like plumbing. I have an emergency plumbing kit and used it when I was reconfiguring our 40 year old copper fixture to do upgrades and repairs. The only advice for inexperienced users is to measure the required distance, cut the pipes evenly and press firmly! There's also a *feeling?* when he sits down properly. I also use the "cheaper" PEX connectors for larger projects, but this is a much more subtle process to use to assess vulnerabilities and leaks. Shark Bite is one of those products that's really worth the money, especially if you've got a leaky pipe and a working-class budget for the weekend.
