How long does Sharkbite last?

I have to replace a toilet shut-off valve and all that HD had was
Sharkbite.

They say it doesn't leak but they don't say for how long it doesn't
leak.

Oh, nevermind everything I said. The person at HD has spoken. It must be true.

I don't think they certified them for underground and no-access-panel
installations based on what the guy at Home Depot said.

Lemme toss this out. If you had a plumber install something at your
place (shower, furnace) and they had Sharkbites connecting things, what
would be running through your head?

It would depend on the conversation that we had beforehand. If he had a
valid reason for using them, and the cost was the same or cheaper than
other connection methods, I don't think it would be an issue.

I'm not arguing, but let me toss the same question back to you. What would
be running through your head?
