Comments about Cash-Acme 1/2" x 1/2" SharkBite Coupling:

So darn convenient, especially when transferring from copper to PEX. It can't get easier and the time that one saves pays for the difference between using SharkBite VS standard sweat fittings.

Comments about Cash-Acme 1/2" x 1/2" SharkBite Coupling:

I love Sharkbites, I repair a lot of frozen broke pipes, I just head under the house with 1/2 and 3/4 sharkbites and a couple pieces of pex pipe and a cutter and usually I am done and on to the next job in a matter of minutes. It doesn't matter if I am working on pex, copper or cpvc one fitting does it all.

Comments about Cash-Acme 3/8" x 3/8" Sharkbite Coupling:

I had to repair a cracked water line inside the cabinet of a geo-thermal heat pump. The space was very confined,greatly inhibiting using a tourch for a conventional solder joint for the repair. The 1/2" Shark Bite was the perfect answer. After removing the damaged portion of the pipe I was able to quickly snap together a replacement section and not worry about the extreme heat of a torch affecting the surrounding area. Best of all I was able to save the $370 repair quote from my friendly HVAC guy

Comments about Cash-Acme 1/2" x 1/2" SharkBite Coupling:

Everybody has heard the stories about "old plumbing" and what you trouble you can get into. Well, the Shark-Bite might be your solution. I am remodeling an old house where soldering is risky.
With the Shark-Bite coupling, just cut the pipe, clean the end and push it on. You are done. I have had a 100% success rate using these couplings and I'm just a do-it-yourself home owner.

3/4" x 3/4" SharkBite Coupling
Q:
I have a very minor leak in a 3/4" baseboard heating element at a butt fitting. Its not an area with fins, but I'm wondering if I will have enough room to cut out the old sweated fitting and replace it with this one? So in short, how long is this fitting?

  A:
  I’ve never really worked on a baseboard heater so I’m not really familiar
  with your application. To answer your question, a ¾”x3/4” sharkbite coupling
  is about 2 3/8” long. When you say “butt-fitting” I think of an end cap,
  which they also make in sharkbite fittings. If you are just cutting off a
  section of leaking pipe and capping it off, I would recommend getting one of
  the sharkbite end caps, but I don’t know how long they are. Again, this may
  not be what a “butt-fitting” is, as I said, I have no experience working on
  baseboard heaters. Also depending on how hot this thing gets in that
  location you may want to see if the website has any information on
  temperature tolerances, there is a plastic piece in the fitting that I’m
  sure is not as heat-tolerant as straight copper pipe.

  The 3/4" x 3/4" SharkBite coupling, part U016, measures 2-1/4" long.
  Answered on 4/19/2012 by PexSupply Staff from NY
- VERIFIED BUYER
  
  A:
  The exterior length of the coupling is 2.25" long from end to end. However,
  when the pipes are pushed together inside of the coupling, there would only
  be a 1" space remaining between the two pipe ends. So if you've got some
  wiggle room with the pipes and don't want to do sweating, it
  would probably work for you.

  A:
  Coupling is approx. 3" long, you will need to insert one end into to
  baseboard 1.0625" the other end also has a 1.0625 insertion length. Go to
  Sharkebite.com for additional info.
  Answered on 4/18/2012 by Another PexSupply Customer

  A:
  End to end they are just over 2" long but you need to sink each piece of copper pipe or pex tubing a good 5/8" into the sharkbite fitting, so keep that in mind when fitting into tight spaces

Q:
Will this work with the old gray Qest 1/2" pipe to 1/2" red Pex pipe?
Asked on 3/16/2012 by Swampy from Monterey VA 24465

  A:
  Qest pipe is polybutylene, which has diameters that are slightly different from those of PEX. We would recommend the SharkBite U4008 fitting, which is designed for a polybutylene connection on its gray-colored side.

Q:
i want to install baseboard heating, will this connect to the baseboard directly or will i need to modify it before installing the pex?

  A:
  The U016 fitting connects to 3/4" PEX and copper pipe. It will connect PEX to the baseboards without requiring any modifications, but it will not connect to the smaller side of each baseboard that is designed to fit inside of the element next to it.

Q:
Prior to installing my first sharkbite connector, I cleaned the copper tubing I was going to connect to with emery cloth. (Old habits are hard to break) The connection is leak free, however I was wondering if this was a bad idea, and if perhaps the connection may be compromised in the future?
