Product Description

Product Description

Simplify your plumbing projects with the SharkBite brass crimp reducing couplings. Composed of strong and sturdy lead free DZR brass, these tubing couplings are a great way to easily install piping without the need for additional tools, glue, or soldering. These couplings can be installed in wet lines and are approved for underground and behind-the-wall applications with no access panels (Wrapping required when burying underground). Rated to 200 psi and 200 degrees F (93 degrees C).

From the Manufacturer

The SharkBite push-fit fittings are the fastest, easiest way to join copper, CPVC, or PEX tubing in any combination. Each fitting increases ease of use while decreasing the time and effort needed to connect water distribution pipe. There is no glue, soldering or crimping needed. Simply cut your pipe, debar, mark the pipe approximately 1 (for proper insertion depth), install pipe to proper depth and you're done.

Amazon Used need to look at items.
First off sharkbites work no issues just wish they didn't cost so much. I bought one new and one used trying to save money. I know sometimes Amazon used is a crap shoot. This was the worst I have ever seen. I think know one even looks at their returns. Check out my picture. It came to me with a piece of copper pipe jammed, twisted, and solder dripping down it like they had no idea about pluming and tried to yank the pipe out but didn't work so they cut it off and sent it back. What a disgrace on Amazons part.
