SharkBite 1 Inch 90 Degree Elbow, Push to Connect Brass Plumbing Fitting, PEX Pipe, Copper, CPVC, PE-RT, HDPE, U260LFA

Très bonne qualité, livraison rapide.

Sharkbite fittings were my solution to not only replacing 2 outdoor spigots, but also found them so easy to use that I put in a spigot where I had needed one for a long time. I put in 23 feet of copper pipe to where I wanted the spigot using different types of Sharbite fittings. Very easy to do!! I would recommend that you buy the release tool.... and yes these can be taken off & used again. Also purchase the deburring tool that not only deburrs but when you put the pipe all the way into it that is the dept it should be inside the fitting. Just used a sharpie to mark that dept on the pipe. Then when your putting on the fitting you know its in correctly. They also make check valves, and I used them to stop hose water from coming back into the house. The one problem I ran into was that the pipes will rotate with these fittings. Thats a good thing when your laying out the pipes, but when you have a spigot at the end you dont want it to rotate :) So I used Milford straps. These wrap around the pipe on the end & have screws you tighten to stop it from moving at all!! The spigots I installed are compression connections........so no torch and soldering. Make straight pipe cuts, use the right tools and your ready to go. Used 10 SharBite fittings and not one dip of water from any of them!

You cant beat these SharkBite plumbing fittings for quality and ease of use. But yes, they are very expensive.

Yes they are expensive, but if you consider the price of a plumber or the time it takes to sweat copper, these are a must have. Or maybe Im just lazy...either way, I love these.

TL;DR: Plastic sleeve inside fittings isnt fixed in place and is poorly designed, causing a catastrophic failure when inserted improperly. I just completed installing two 90 degree elbows and a ball valve onto a length of 1 PEX the builder of my house left exposed in my garage. The loop was supposed to be for a water softener, however, as we do not need a water softener for our location (not sure what they were thinking, no one in our neighborhood uses one), it has been hanging out roughly 24 into my garage/workshop, which represented a significant hazard in my mind. In light of this, and having made a trip to the usual suspects only to be astounded at the $60+ special PEX wrench required to use the standard fittings and clamps, I decided on these as a cheaper and (hopefully) easier alternative as I only had a very small project in mind. Each fitting contains a small plastic sleeve that is used to further strengthen the pipe so as to ensure the shark teeth that clamp onto it do not deform the pipe and cause a leak. From the pictures, I assumed this sleeve was fixed in place - it is not. In fact, its completely loose inside of each end of the fitting and relies on a VERY small lip to seat itself against the brass of the fitting. Predictably, on the first fitting, this small lip pushed right past its brass mating surface on my first insertion attempt, causing the fitting to prematurely bottom out while engaging the teeth enough to make removal impossible. Thankfully, I was able to quickly cobble together a removal tool based on pictures of the plastic one sold by SharkBite online using a hole saw and piece of scrap plywood, but the damage had been done. The plastic insert was mangled and badly bent, rendering the $16 fitting unusable and necessitating an emergency run to Lowes to purchase an overpriced replacement. Installing the remainder of the valves was a painful process as I fiddled with the plastic sleeve to make sure it was aligned before pushing the fitting home, but, not before saying a prayer to all that is holy that the dang thing would go on correctly. Now, having spent as much as if I would have just bought the daggun tool in the first place, and having needlessly sweated and cussed enough to make my neighbors think far less of me, I wish I had just spent the money on the right tool for the job in the first place and heeded my gut when it told me the SharkBite fittings were just too good to be true.

Used 4 of these in my RV as I had to replace some pex lines. Man, talk about easy! Just push in and twist...done. Water tight connection in seconds. Well worth the money in my book.

High quality

A really great product if not a tad expensive. Eliminate sweating pipes and they interconnect pex and copper. Great products!

Easy-to-use

Need special tools if you install incorrectly
