Product Details

The SharkBite Disconnect Tong is the easiest way to disconnect SharkBite fittings in hard to reach places where it can be tough to get leverage on the release collar. The Stainless Steel Disconnect Tongs are the perfect tool for anyone frequently using SharkBite Fittings. The Tool depresses the release collar using the force applied by your hand to allow the stainless-steel teeth of the fitting to release and the fitting to be removed.

    Answer This Question

    A:  No, it’s for taking them apart. It helps with most connections but I’ve found it hard to get copper to come loose.

            A:  But 1/2 tool for 1/2 Pipe

            by|Jun 23, 2020

            A:  I simply go by the pipe size. 1/2" pipe, 1/2" tongs. If 3/4" pipe, 3/4" tongs. Has worked fine so far.

            by|Apr 27, 2020

            A:  Hello, For 1/2" (5/8 O.D. pipe/tubing) SharkBIte fittings use disconnect tong part # U711A (SKU # 1001647156). For 3/4" (7/8" O.D. pipe/tubing) SharkBIte fittings use disconnect tong part # U713A (SKU # 1001671897).

              A:  If you have 1/2 in pipe you need the 1/2 tongs. They also sell an orange semi circle clip that works well too and it's cheaper. If you don't use it a lot then get that one.

                A:  1/2" should work with 1/2" pipe, as 3/4" works with 3/4" pipe

                Q:Will this work on BrassCraft Push to Connect Fittings, or only SharkBite brand fittings?

                A:  It should work on any type. They are basicly all made the same way,

                by|Mar 12, 2020

                A:  It should work. They look same to me. Basically one side pushes on the plastic ring and the other side straddles the pipe for leverage. My hands are not that strong and could not get the fitting off with the cheaper sharkbite plastic ring, but had no p ry problem with the disconnect tongs.

                A:  I just used for Sharkbite fittings, so I don't know the BrassCtaft one. Each clip size is different, one is fit to 1/2 inch pipe, but the other one is fit to the valve itself to hold.

                by|Feb 15, 2022

                A:  Only Sharkbite. Furthermore, if your Sharkbite connector is too close to an adjacent joint, preventing you from getting the tong behind the release sleeve, you won't get it off the pipe anyway. Then you'll have to melt said sleeve into a plastic-y goop with your mapp torch, producing numerous fumes. Also, "Numerous Fumes" is my new screamo band name.

                by|Mar 31, 2021

                  A:  Have never used the other brand. Next time you visit your Home Depot, get one off the shelf and try for size on other type fittings.

                    It's stiff and laying on your back underneath a house is a whole lot different than standing up in the garage and testing it out.

                        Better than the orange crescent disconnect things, but not as handy as I had hoped.
