I wish there was more of the machines like How It's Made episode

I too, would have liked a longer video, to show a few more applications, but more so, maybe to explain the PEX/COPPER PIPE differences with SHARKBITE, and I'd want one over the other.

Does the "Sharkbite" stand up to cold/freezing outside temps? or is this suppose to only be used indoors?

SharkBite PEX is freeze resistant. The pipe expands and contracts as water freezes and thaws within the pipe.

@@lowes Thank you very much!! for not only responding, but letting me know the answer to my question.

Hi I'm Indian plumber best project welcome 👍

Shark bite is mostly used by handy men not plumbers

Sharkbite fittings are good for people who don’t take pride in their work Do it right don’t use sharkbite

Good products.......comical video.

Shark bites are a quick fix until you can get the real part you need or can hire a plumber to do the job correctly. I would never ever want one of these fittings inside my wall.

tell me if you think shark bytes are for a quick fix. Then do I see a lot of expert level plumbers switch over to shark byte in new houses and old houses? Huh, why don't you enlighten me?

@@GhostReaper2043 As a licensed plumber, I stand behind my original statement. Sharkbites are an incredible tool to have in a full arsenal and do great for repairing things quickly and safely, but I have had a number of people ask me for help with repairs of their systems which involve full sharkbite installs. In my opinion there is far too much movement at the compression joint of the fitting to be a viable long term solution.

GhostReaper2043 I work in new housing construction. All the plumbing sub contractors in this area use pex a or pex b. With uponor or crimp fittings. Because it’s already really fast and way cheaper than shark bite.

Sweated connections on copper and cemented connections on PVC can fail too.

@@daphnisnaith6496 sure they can, but not reliably within ten years. Once the rubber O-ring goes in a push to connect fitting, which it will do in a far quicker time than a sweated connection, it's going to form a leak very quickly. They're a nice fitting for quick fixes and repairs, but they need to be seen for what they are instead of a permanent fitting.
