The SharkBite Push-To-Connect plumbing system is a most dependable way to join copper and PEX pipe with no soldering, clamps, unions or glue.
When you insert the pipe, the stainless steel teeth on the fittings bite down and grip tight while the specially formulated O-ring compresses to create a perfect seal.
With the easy to use disconnect tool, disassembly of fittings and valves can be easily changed and reused.
The fittings can even be rotated after assembly for easier installation in tight spaces.
Push-To-Connect plumbing quick connect fittings use solid forged brass bodies for strength and performance.
