I recently found that a water valve for my refrigerator & ice maker
(replacements) now use slip in fittings. You cut the end of the
plastic lines off now and they slip into the valve. I did not need a
new valve.

I'd trust sharkbites, perhaps even inside of a wall. Depends.


Now that you mention it,I have a push fitting on my refrigerator filter
too. In addition at work we have about 800+ push fittings for air at
110 psi and I can't think of a single failure over quite a few years.
