As long as the fitting doesn't leak, non of the flouride will ever
see any parts that will corrode - assuming you still have
flouridated
water. In Waterloo region the last municipal election, which had a
turnout of some 40%, had a plebecite on flouridation and by a 1%
margin of that low turnout, flouride was shut off.


It was a son-of-a-dentist joke. *Corroding teeth in the Sharkbite...?
Fluoride in the water? *Sigh. *Nevemind. *

They are pretty handy for joining different types of plumbing. I used
a couple to connect cpvc to pex. I don't see any advantage to them
for cpvc or pvc as both are easily glued. I'm guessing the big sale
point is for people with copper pipe that can't solder. Or just get
tired of trying to get all the water out so they can solder.
