Guess I'll have to give Sharkbites a try some day. Seems the majority of

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.

Yeah, that's odd. *It wouldn't inspire confidence to see what's really
a retrofit fitting used that way.

Why do you say that they are "retrofit fittings"?
