About This Product
SharkBite Max push-to-connect fittings are the fastest way to connect PEX, copper, CPVC, or PE-RT pipe. A newly designed stainless steel collet retainer delivers additional strength and durability and provides a 400 PSI pressure rating. SharkBite Max fittings don't require a PEX tube liner and a re-engineered body allows you to insert the pipe using less force and greater ease. No soldering, clamps, unions, glue, or special tools required. After inserting the pipe, stainless steel teeth bite down and grip the pipe tightly while a specially formulated O-ring compresses around the pipe to create a watertight seal. The fitting can be rotated after installation for quick adjustments, and removing the fitting is just as fast with a disconnect tool, allowing fittings and valves to be changed or reused.

Questions & Answers
Can it be used outdoors
Yes, this can be installed outdoors.
Can shark bite be used on pexA?
Hello, Yes, it could be used for both PEX A and B.
If I use a plastic shark bite on copper pipe instead of a copper one will it make a difference
As long as the plastic fitting is designed for use on the copper pipe, the only difference may be in psi or temperature ratings.
Do These work also if you go from copper at one side to PVC at the other?
No, this fitting will not work with PVC. Part UIP514 is designed to connect to PVC.
Can these be used on polybutylene tubing
Hi Edward, Thank you for reaching out! The SharkBite Max 1/2 in. Push-to-Connect Brass End Stops are not compatible for polybutylene pipe material. SharkBite fittings are certified for use with copper, PEX, PVC, PE-RT, & HDPE piping. It is important to use the correct fitting for the proper pipe material to avoid failure. Unfortunately, we only offer transitional polybutylene fittings; not a full product line. Below, we have provided a link for our current poly b fittings. We do not offer a Polybutylene push end cap. https://www.sharkbite.com/us/en/search?s=Polybutylene If you have any additional questions or require further assistance about the product, please reach out to our Technical Support Team at 1- 877-700-4242 so we can assist. Warmest Regards,
Can you use the sharkbites on a threaded copper pipe to extend to a non threaded copper pipe to make it longer? And can the end cap be used on a threaded copper pipe to shut it off?
Hi, The SharkBite threaded adapters can be connected/screwed on to a threaded copper pipe to make the pipe longer. You can then connect to the Max 1/2 in. Push-to-Connect Brass End Stop on to the non threaded end of the copper pipe. If you have any more questions you can call tech support at 877-700-4242. Kind regards,
how does the end stop work? What is the process?
Hi Donald, Thank you for contacting SharkBite. The end stop will slide onto the pipe. I've attached a link to our installation guide. This will cover the correct way to install a SharkBite push-to-connect fitting. If you have any more questions you can call tech support at 877-700-4242.
