Press-on fittings and valve info?
I need to replumb a kitchen sink and I saw some sharkbite fittings and
valves that appear to just "push" onto the 1/2" copper pipe. I plan to install two ball valves, a "T" for the dishwasher feed and a couple of adapters to connect the Delta faucet. Has anyone used this type of fitting yet and if so what were your experiences and/or opinions? Thanks |

Press-on fittings and valve info?
Here is a pic of my one sharkbite fitting I have concerns with.

The other three I've installed are as clean as brand new! Thank you for the feedback. I did more research myself and have decided to give the ball valves a try along with a service tee for the dishwasher feed. If the corrosion hasn't increased over time could it be from the original connection, perhaps a little spillage when installed, especially if you have well water (untreated)? Thanks again. |
