There are some people worth listening to and there are some people you really wish you had not listened to, I think it is obvious which class this gentleman belongs to... What you are getting here is the upper class of KZread instruction!

thanks for reinstating my faith in my decision to go all shark bite push. i ordered a bunch of fittings for my project and started running into these self-proclaimed "Old School" plumbers on You Tube who nearly scared me off... Well, at 76, I'm "old school" too... BUT I'm willing to try new ideas, methods, and materials before I throw out the baby with the bath water... Your video has helped me keep my confidence. Anyone out there with hands that look like my own CAN be trusted! Looks like that damn Bobcat laid into you as well as me!!! I became a new sub because of this video. My appreciation.

Appreciate your straightforward video. No music, no graphics ... just the information. That's what I needed. Thank you!!!

Thank you sir for helping me I didn't know what I was in for your video really helped me out once again thanks

There are some people who know what they are talking about, and then there are other people who think they know what they're talking about and then again there's other people just have no idea what they're talkin about... AND THEN YOU HAVE THIS GUY! YOU HAVE THIS GUY WHO'S OBVIOUSLY IN A CLASS OF HIS OWN, KIND OF LIKE AN ELITE CLASS PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE RIGHT TO SPEAK WITH AUTHORITY BECAUSE THEY ARE OFFERING VALUABLE, USEFUL AND ACCURATE TRUSTWORTHY INFORMATION! SO I'D LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU FOR SHARING THAT WITH US!

The cryin shame about this video is that I can only give it one thumbs 👍 ... What about the five stars that it deserves!?!?

Straight to the point, no BS. Thank you.

Sharbite and pex stuff is a complete game changer. Love the stuff

You deburred the outside of the PEX pipe BUT did not deburr the outside of the 3/4-inch copper pipe. This should be done in case there is a burr that could nick/cut the black O-ring in the SharkBite fitting. One less chance of a possible leak. Otherwise, a great video.

great instruction, thanks! Now about that finger, vaseline and two 1 inch flex bandaids will heal that cut. leave them on for a week or change every three days

Great presentation. Clear and concise. Thanks for putting this together.

Thats a nice size cut on your finger! I feel your pain, yesterday on my job site, I cut my hands up pretty good installing baseboard heating

Daggone man, mine and your fingers and hands look just alike. They've been through alot of miles and projects. Great video.

I was searching to do my 3 quater sprinkler ball shut offvalve and I managed to cut the piece out and took to the Home Depot and they helped me to find the same thing as the one I had then, they also told me I need saldin it after put it together, I bought whole bunch of stuffs and didn't work for me it still leaked. Now I saw your video using push in copper, wow, why didn't they tell me this. I thank you so much for all this information. I am going to the Home Depot again to get all stuffs. Thanks

Great video. P.S. Always cut away with the knife and keep your fingers clear. That's a fine cut you got.

Damn, thems are some working man hands, respect and thank you for good info!

I think this is a good, general overview for beginners. I found that with plumbing in place and no leverage, getting the connections in and apart is not quite so easy as one would think. Filing the Cu is a good idea. When trying to disconnect an inline, in place, overhead, vertical SharkBite fitting, it was my experience that the disconnect tongs were necessary - just couldn't get enough force with the clip. That's the deal with SharkBite that bench demos don't convey. Not to scare anyone away from it, but be aware that these fittings are tight for a reason. They don't just slide on and off.

good tip on inside burrs and protip tool. thank you.

Good video, Mr. Scott. Thanks for covering the niceties of de-burring, etc.

For what it's worth. You can also cut the PEX tubing with a regular tubing cutter (most of the time). but you need to deburr the inside edge of the tubing with a reamer as well. It's slower, but works and I already had both a tubing cutter and reamer on hand. I was helping my brother do some PEX replacement last weekend and he had 2 tubing cutters on hand. On one, the cutter wheel didn't clear the body of the cutter enough to cut all the way through the PEX. The second did and that's what we used.

Great video and detail for working with these products. Thank you for doing it.

Thanks, clear and concise

if the sharpe edge on the inside of the copper pipe can ruin the connection in the sharkbite fitting, the sharpe edge in the pex can also effect the connection in the sharkbite fitting. you used your orange device to deburr the putter mr edge of the pex but did not break the sharp inside on the pex. i would hit that inside edge as well.

Outstanding, thank you.

Thank you sir. That was perfect

Tip: When inserting the copper into SharkBite the plastic insert is not required, thus can be safely removed. IMPORTANT: When inserting PEX, CPVC, and the like, into the SharkBite DO NOT remove the plastic insert. Inside the SharkBite the plastic insert provides needed/required rigidity to the PEX, CPVC, and the like.

Is it ok to just leave it as well, when inserting copper?

@ricdonato4328

@@rcrewe3733 Yes you may leave it in for both copper and PEX CPVC. A while back I called SharkBite with the same insert question. They stated being as copper is rigid the plastic insert is not required. SharkBite also said PEX, CPVC are not rigid as copper thus insert is required/needed providing backing on the inside of the PEX and CPVC. In our house we had to replace about forty feet of copper (pinhole leaks) with PEX, in two sections. All four ends were PEX on the one side, Copper on the other. One run I left the insert in both sides, on the other section I pulled the insert out on the copper side. Be sure you have the sizing gauge, it is a big help well worth the few dollars. Truly hope the aforementioned helps you.

@@rcrewe3733 Leaving the liner in will just reduce flow cross section as well leaving the folded edge on the inside from the cutter.

My hands are well on their way to looking like that! Great video thanks

I also file the outside edges on the copper pipe similar to the pex recommendation. The sharp edges can ruin the O-ring.

Good stuff! Thank you

@3:00 The horseshoe key you are holding on the wrong side, this open caseate is just unnecessarily hurting your fingers where it’s just supposed to press the ring on the connector, these release rings are way slimmer than your fingers… flat side is more ergonomic to push or press… fyi

Thank you sir.

Never knew they had fancy horseshoe tool. I used 6" adjustable crescent wrench to release fitting.

Was helpful seem all you have to do is push and seat the shark bite as far as it will go… isn’t that same distance as measuring? Also how much of a bend can you put in pex?

Plumbers hate them homeowners love them!

2 thumbs up 👍 👍 and 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐

That white piece of plastic [the stiffener] in the Sharkbite fitting has an even smaller opening than the pipe that fits over it, so you will have reduced flow issues. I've seen videos where the plumbers are actually removing that plastic part before inserting the copper pipe.

Deburring the copper is to prevent the sharp edge from damaging the rubber o-ring below

Great video. It looks like your finger got a shark bite!

Is that sharkbite two different sizes on either side?

What happens to the shsrk bite if you remove the white inner piece? Ive been told to remove it when going from copper to PEX.

Does the Sharkbite work with Pex A, or just the crimp Pex tubing, or doesn’t it matter?

Should i use pexa or pexb with sharkbite?

Can I use sharkbite on just a regular water heater ? I don't have a fancy hot water one !

how long last shark bite fittings and how recommended to inside walls?

can you use this method in copper to pvc?
