Guess I'll have to give Sharkbites a try some day. Seems the majority of
experiences from this group and external are positive. Problem is I'm to
frikkin cheap to try them. Besides, how can Sharkbites replace being a
real man with a torch and melting metel :-)


We have an Invacare whirlpool tub at work that had Sharkbite fittings
on the sanitizer system and had one leak after a year and a different
one fail at about 2+ years.
I wasn't impressed with them being used on a commercial unit.
