SharkBite 1/2 x 3/8 Inch Compression Straight Stop Valve, Quarter Turn, Push to Connect Brass Plumbing Fitting, PEX Pipe, Copper, CPVC, PE-RT, HDPE, 23037-0000LF

We had a water leak at a T in our manufactured home and it was on the old PB plastic piping. Since that is piping discontinued and I have no crimping tools anyway I researched the Sharkbite fittings due to their claim that you need no tools, just measure the depth and slide them on. I was a bit skeptical at first but I was in a bind so purchased two PB to Pex fittings, a Pex T and an Pex Shut off. I watched a youtube video before attempting the repairs just to get an idea what I needed to do. Cutting out the old pipe T, then installing the two PB to Pex fittings with a section between that included the new Pex T, and then the new shut from the T took me 15 minutes. I popped on the water and no leaks, worked perfectly. These things are the real deal and will save you a ton of time and hassle! I can sweat copper pipe as well but for future repairs I may just use these fittings, no sense in wasting my time when I can measure, cut, push to install and then you're done.

Had a difficult-to-reach faucet replacement, and chose to go with Sharkbites, instead of traditional compression valves. These made adding stop valves to the copper pipe quicker and easier, inside an old steel laundry tub cabinet. They'll still be hard to reach, if I ever need to use them, but at least they're there now. They install in a flash, and seem to be well-made.

or quick plumbing fixes. Installation was incredibly easy—no special tools or fuss, and it provided a perfect, leak-free connection. The build quality is excellent; it feels sturdy and durable, and I’m confident it will last for years. This is a huge upgrade from traditional methods, and it saved me both time and frustration. Don’t bother with cheaper alternatives—this is worth every penny for the reliability and ease of use

First time use. Replumbed kitchen sink in Mobil home with " CPVC ". Gave these a try and they worked PERFECTLY. Easy to just push on and not a drop of leakage. I will be using these for the bathrooms next. Buy without hesitation.

Only been on for a day but so far working perfectly. Relatively easy to install.

Great

The easiest compression fitting I’ve ever used, this thing is a game changer. Had a leaking fitting under our spare bathroom sink, cut the old valve off, and replaced with the new SharkBite in less then 2 minutes. So easy!

I used these to replace old, failed service valves on copper tube feeds to kitchen and bathroom sinks, and in one case on a PEX-to-copper connection. It's heartening to know some innovative products work exactly as promised! But follow the simple instructions carefully: cut the tubes straight across, deburr the cuts, and be sure to MARK THE INSERTION DEPTH before you install the valve. If you don't, it could leak. The manufacturer has plenty of good videos on its website. I'm a do-it-yourselfer, not a licensed plumber, so I only use these where visibility and access are quick and easy, as under a sink. I wouldn't seal one in a wall—that's work for the pro's.

Wow so easy to install. Do yourself a favour and spend the money to buy the proper pex pipe cutter and Deburring tool. Will make the job that much easier. The fitting itself seems like really good quality. Overall really impressed with shark bite

Works well.

Great product! These work exactly as advertised and make work so much easier.

Needed two of these to connect a new kitchen faucet at the trailer. The 1/2" end was used to connect the exisiting 1/2" pex piping and the 3/8" end connected to the faucet water line. The shut off valve included with this allows the person to shut off the water line in the future.

This is so easy to use that me, a lady in her 60s, was able to include a cut off on my RV toilet. I cut the tubing with a cutter and added the tap. Push it on tight pull it back a bit to ensure it is snug then add the decorative ring. So easy, so elegant. VERY PLEASED.
