Good for broken RV auxiliary pump valves

I have this to keep in my RV for emergency repairs in case my auxiliary pump check valve fails. I've had this before and it's no fun. This should make the repair easier. Although I haven't installed it yet, I've installed all types of Shark Bite fittings on everything from copper to PVC and PEX and I've never been disappointed. I am very confident that this will not be an exception.

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

Significant reduction in water consumption! The water pressure is lazy.

Significant reduction in water consumption! The water pressure is lazy now after installation. This needs to be resolved. I never write negative or positive reviews but this can really mess up a project depending on the installation location so customers need to be aware that water flow will suffer. It works, but for the right situation. So take this into account when installing.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors

I love the product, hate the price

I love shark bites, I hate the price. and cold water, it prevents cold, higher-pressure water from flowing back into the hot, lower-pressure lines. Solves the problem of hot and cold jets in the shower. I also put one on my hose bibs and toilet water lines to ensure bacteria don't get back into my drinking water.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • There are nuances

Cute I saved $450

The check valve in my hot water circulating pump broke, just turned to dust. Added this to the line and fixed hot water issues caused by the lack of a check valve on that line. Simply cut out and prepare, put on and you're done. I have soldering skills but I think this cold solution is better as there is no risk of damaging the plastic parts inside. + Solution to the problem I had. If I hadn't found this valve, another solution would be a new $450+ circulation pump. Conveniently, Grundfos (pump

Ease of installation. in pipes, fittings and accessories

I have had to replace the 12 volt fresh water pump in my trailer several times because the internal check valve failed after only a few months. Every time the check valve fails, it fills up the solution tank and then overflows. This time I decided not to swap out the serviceable pump for a non-working check valve. I bought a threaded check valve to connect directly to the pump, but the male/female thread was not what I needed. I could have redone everything, but the Shark Bite check valve was a

Pros
  • All right!
Cons
  • Some small things

Solved the problem with the shower in the camper, love it!

Installed in my caravan, on the hot water pipe in the shower. Doing this will prevent cold water from flowing back into the hot water line. Then when you turn the shower head back on, the water is warm instead of cold. I had fairly good access to the water lines behind a small white plastic cover held in place with 4 screws. It was a little tight but not too much. You will need to cut 3/4 inch off the pipe so that the overall length of the pipe is the same to the shower when you insert it. It…
