SharkBite3/4 x 3/4 x 1/4 Inch Compression Tee Stop Valve, Push to Connect Brass Plumbing Fitting, PEX Pipe, Copper, CPVC, PE-RT, HDPE, 24985A

SharkBite is always my go to when I need to repair water pipe. For a snug and easy to install. They are great under pressure and will not let go. Durable and quality made. They are a little expensive but well worth the money.

Novice here, easy to install if you have the right cutting and cleaning tools and basic understanding (or YouTube). bought to tap in for fridge water line and works well so far.

We have a fairly new build but decided not to install a whole house humidifier when we built. We have Pex throughout the house and needed a solution to connect the humidifier to a water connection. I used both the 3/4" and 1/2" SharkBite connectors to hook up two furnaces. I did buy a Pex cutter at a local bigbox store to make very precise and clean cuts. the Pex went into the connectors very easily. The important thing to remember is to make certain that one pushes the Pex all of the way into the SharkBite connectors otherwise water will leak. One will feel the Pex seat itself once it is initially placed into the connector and after pushing the Pex until it stops. It's been several hours now and no leaks. We are ready for the furnace folks to install the humidifiers in a few days using the connectors and the 1/4" compression fitting.

worked perfectly to install 1/4 inch line for ice maker.

Easy to install. Very durable. I've used sharkbites for other things in my house. Can't complain.

This was Ok. I never used SharkBite before and this was a temping solution. I did find plenty of info on how to prepare the copper pipe without a SharkBite tool. What I didn't find was a feeling for what the proper force would be to seat the pipe. It took a little more pushing effort than I expected to fully seat but everything seems fine. No leaks, pipe is seated to proper depth and I am able to easily rotate the fitting position without any drips. CAUTION... Make sure you have enough movement in the pipe to install this. You need about 1" of inline free pipe movement to install this on 1/2" copper. You don't want any side forces on the pipe so bending or straining the pipes is not a good idea to make room for this. I thought I would have just enough pipe movement, but sadly no way it was going to happen. I had lots of side movement on one side but only a 1/2" inline movement. Luckily I had a union in my bin so I cut the pipe nearby, installed the shark bite easily, then soldered the union in and tightened it up. Had I known I was going to solder, I probably would have just used a solder tee and a stop valve. I think I could have fit a copper tee in there without needing to install the union. So if you know how to solder, go for it if the situation looks tight. Then you won't have to worry about whether or not SharkBite orings will really last forever. Great flow, by the way. My old saddle valve had grown some green stuff inside further limiting the flow.

Fast and easy to install and very reliable joint

Sharkbite isn't my first choice but it's never failed me yet me when I've had to use it. This part was no exception. Took me less than 10 minutes to install and worked just like I needed.

Does the job and does the job well.

Compared to a solder type fitting of the same type this is not a cheap option. But the fact that you simply push this onto pex or copper piping and your done is a no brainer. There's no reason to believe that these units won't last just as long as those solder units either. And the swing valve is almost guaranteed not to leak unlike the built to fail screw valve style of fittings. Its just all around a good investment for long term piece of mind.

Used to connect my home water line to a rodi water filter via 1/4 inch line. Took all of 5 mins to install and been using for over 6 months with no leaks. Very happy with the product as it was hard to find even at larger stores like home depot, Lowe's etc

Used this to connect a new dishwasher in my daughter's new kitchen. Just cut the old pipe, cleaned and sanded it and pressed the new cutoff valve into place. Worked well first time. No problems. Make sure to allow for 1 inch of pipe to be inserted into each end of the valve.

Easy installation, just clean older copper pipe with fine sandpaper before installing. I used a tube cutter to cut the pipe. I used this to replace the saddle clamp piercing valve that was provided with my water filter. It did not provide enough flow. This solved the flow problem, and no leaks.Highly recommend
