SharkBite Plumbing Fittings for Your Home

Fixing plumbing issues in your home is never easy. The variety of plumbing materials can make it even more confusing when trying to repair something yourself. It can be hard to make sure you are getting the right connections for your home. A few years ago, SharkBite revolutionized the market with its easy plumbing connectors, valves, and more that allow you to use one fitting for a variety of materials. Read more below about how you can use SharkBite fittings for your home to fix your next plumbing issue.

SharkBite Fittings

One of the best features about SharkBite fittings is its ease of installation, no matter what type of fittings you have. They are the world leader in push-to-connect plumbing systems, making them very easy to install in your home.

These fittings also eliminate the use of special tools, crimping, glue, or soldering – it is the best product for someone who may not have a plumbing background. They are also highly versatile: the fittings we carry in-store work with PEX, copper, CPVC, PE-RT, and HDPE pipe.

SharkBite products can make anyone an amateur plumber – make sure your fitting and pipe are the same diameter. The pipe edges should also be clean and not raised or rough.

Additionally, SharkBite fittings can easily be removed using their Disconnect Tongs, making it easier to replace existing SharkBite fittings as needed. With their removal tool, snap it around the pipe, push into the SharkBite fitting, and pull. That’s it!
