I used it on an out of round compression fitting on a toilet shutoff

it every time, but sometimes it keeps you from being without running
water while you get the right parts.

God, I HATE compression fittings! Shark-Bites are TOOOOO cool!


I might be getting old, but I still prefer soldered copper fittings.




Properly soldered fittings last forever.
