Product Details

The SharkBite Connection System offers an extensive line of barb fittings plus manifolds, supports and tools for both clamp and crimp ring PEX tubing installations. When a water distribution project requires low cost materials, a system that utilizes PEX tubing, barb fittings and manifolds is a good choice. In addition to being cost effective, these systems simplify the installation compared to copper or rigid plastic pipe systems that use solder or glue for fitting joints. The SharkBite PEX/Barb System includes everything needed, from pressure regulators and valves with barb connectors, to chrome plated stops for hooking up fixtures.

Q:Is the blade supposed to be sharp? I just got one of these and it's not even slightly sharp. Comp...

Answer This Question

A:  The blade doesn't feel sharp and would require a lot of pressure to cut flesh, but I used it to PEX my new house which has 3 bathrooms. Worked great!

by|Jan 1, 2022

A:  My blade is not "sharp" but still cuts pex tubing just fine.

by|Jun 18, 2020

A:  This pex cutter is a shearing style device. It cuts the pex pipe with a sharp blade against the jaw of the cutter. So yes, it should be a sharp edge. Otherwise, you will not get a clean edge on your piece of pex.

by|Jun 17, 2020

A:  Dull blade; flimsy handle(s). Very difficult to make a clean/and square cut, but it's possible with a couple of attempts.

Answer This Question

A:   No. The PEX pipe cutter will not cut PVC.

by|Aug 26, 2020

A:  No. It's junk. Invest in a cutter specifically built for cutting pvc.

by|Feb 5, 2020

    A:  Hello, We do not recommend the use of SharkBite PEX pipe cutter U701A with PVC pipe. This cutter is designed for use with PEX or PE-RT tubing. If you have additional questions please don't hesitate to reach out to our technical support department at 877-700-4242. Best Regards,

      Q:Is the blade replaceable?
      by|Sep 9, 2018

      Answer This Question

      A:  Not that I can tell, the unit is plastic and if you are using it enough to dull the blade it may be time to move to a better product as I don't think the plastic handle will hold up under heavy use. For occasional use, it works great and is a great buy.

      by|May 6, 2023

        A:  Without completely disassembling it, there's no apparent way to change the blade.

        by|May 6, 2023

          A:  I don't see a way to replace the blade.

          by|May 6, 2023

          A:  No, the blade is not replaceable. If you have further questions, please contact Customer Service M-F, 8am-5pm at (877) 700-4242.

          by|May 6, 2023

            A:  I am not sure, don’t see any provision.

              Q:Are the blades replacable or is this unit considered disposal?
              by|Jul 20, 2016
              3 Answers
              Answer This Question

              A:  It's disposable. I disposed of mine when the handle broke off while trying to cut a 1 inch piece of PEC pipe.

              by|Feb 5, 2020

                A:  You can buy replacement blades thru the manufacture's web site or thru Home Depot. Extra blades are not included with the package.

                by|Nov 14, 2019

                  A:  There is no obvious way to remove/replace a worn blade, however, the portion of the cutter that houses the blade can be separated from the rest of the tool, wouldn't be too difficult to pass the blade over a stone if it got irritatingly dull.

                  Hello, we are sorry to hear about the difficulty you experienced with the SharkBite Pipe Cutters and we understand your frustration. The sharp corner of the cutter should pierce the pipe first and then it should be easier to cut through. Please give our Customer Service Team a call at 1-877-700-4242 so we can assist.
