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

Well made; good price.

What a fantastic product. I tapped into two existing water lines and ran hot and cold water to my garage in less than 30 minutes. What a time saver. No messy solder, etc.

Not gonna lie. When I first got these I was concerned about leaks and waking up to my basement flooding as I had never used them. Im used to either brazing copper pipes or priming and gluing pvc tubing. Im a bit of a control guy and when I moved into my house years ago had ripped out the horror that was the tubing entering my basement from the well pump.. put in a whole house filter, pressure tank, other, removable filters and carbon filters, water softener etc. After years of use the softener had given up and the mechanisms sprung leaks all over. I wanted to take that out and instead put in an iron removing filter as our sinks and toilets need constant scrubbing with some of our lighter clothes becoming work on the car items due to staining. I read a lot of reviews here and elsewhere about the sharkbite connectors and wound up ordering them.. heck, they were returning so why not? I cut cpvc to length and put connected everything with sharkbite elbows, reducers, and a valves. Once I slipped everything together, crossed my fingers and opened up the water. Hmm,.. so far so good but lets wait and see.. turned on the water throughout the house and watched everything pop and shake as air bled out of the system and pressurized to 70psi. Okay.. so far so good. Cleaned up and went upstairs to eat.. came back down checking for leaks... went to watch tv (The Boys-started slow but ROCKS)... wife and I took turns checking for leaks. Went to bed... got up a few times... and now its been a few weeks. Not a drop of water and none of the pipes has tried to slip out as we have them all marked for this purpose. These things rock! One of the things I like best is that you can rotate the fittings (ie; the pipes can still move, rotate etc) without leaks which means its all super forgiving if you get your lengths slightly off and stuff is not 100% straight and true.. it adjusts.. something PVC and Copper do NOT do... and I can also move stuff around a few inches if needed without cutting/de-brazing pipes etc. Im a convert!

After reading all the positive reviews, I decided to try to do a plumbing repair myself. I am little nervous about using solders and torch on pipes, so these are my choice for connectors. Believe me, they worked. Make sure you also get the removable tool in case you needed to remove them. After one year, still work and no leak.

Way easier than sweating on connectors

Perfect for my needs

Plumbing is expensive, but this item is excellent and hundreds of $$$ cheaper than a plummer. Very Easy install. No leaks. Comes with disasembly piece excellent. Clean components well prior to install...

Makes job soo easy. No leaks.. Well made

Considering the difficulty of getting a plumber to come over, during the pandemic, and perform an outdoor spigot install, I was delighted to discover I can DIY it! The job required tapping into an existing water line with new PEX tubing and establish a new freeze-proof spigot on the outside of my house, and I can do this every bit as professionally as was done years ago by a professional! By doing this myself, I was able to incorporate my personal preferences like where the spigot should be installed for owner/user convenience (NOT in a crawl space no more than two feet high, spigot design that ensures no freeze-ups, angular considerations to ensure line drainage when turned off, etc. Thank you, SharkBite for making this possible!

It was easy to install , just needed to find the leak got a pipe cutter . Cut the 90’ used a file to file the cut pipe and installed the new one .
