Answer This Question
A: You can remove it for copper. It is meant to stiffen PEX so the shark bite grips/seals evenly around the pipe.
by|Dec 21, 2020
A: There's had been many assumption made regarding the plastic tubing. I heard by taking it off you may damage the fitting. Therefore I will leave it to your discretion. However when it comes to Pex leave it on.
by|Dec 21, 2020
A: Hello,
When installing SharkBite reducing coupling model # U058LFA with copper or CPVC pipe the tube stiffeners can be left in the fitting or they can be removed. When installing this fitting with PEX, PE-RT or HDPE tubing it is necessary to leave the tube stiffener in the fitting. If you have additional questions please don't hesitate to reach out to our technical support department at 877-700-4242.

I have purchased and used various sizes of the shark bite and I absolutely love them. I appreciate the option of buying (for example) one that will go from 1/4" to 1/2" or 1/2" to 3/4" and so on. Or from one size pipe to repair a pipe of the same size. I had one of these on a piece of copper tubing, outside. After about 4 years it did begin to leak, however; it was from the several sections of piping and not from the shark bite itself. I will always depend on these as opposed to doing it the old fashioned way with welding and a high paid plumber (even tho a plumber may be needed sometime). But these are the best option ever. Inside or out, they are very dependable.
