Searching this group, there was a discussion about five years ago
where most users thought Snake Bite was a good product that worked
well and saved time, although they were more expensive than the
soldered joints. Has anyone had more recent experience with either
brand?


I used Shark Bite nearly three years ago to replace a failed water
heater for a friend. It's still working just fine. No issues, and, no
leaks. Wasn't difficult to attach the fittings either to the old copper
pipe or the PEX pipe. I'd use the stuff again if I needed to replace
pipe and/or a unit attached to some.
