A:  SHARK BITES ARE THE ONLY QUICK CONNECTORS I HAVE FOUND THAT WORK ON COPPER PIPES… LOOK AT THE PACKAGE AND MAKE SURE WHAT TYPE OF PIPE IT WILL WORK ON… THE CHEAPER CONNECTORS ONLY WORK ON CPVC AND PEX… HOPE IT HELPS.

A:  If your copper supply lines are 1/2", then yes. You would slip this over the copper tube, but then you'd have to add an adapter to thread onto the 1/2" male thread. I would be 1/2" Female pipe thread on one side and 3/8" compression thread on the other side. The tubes coming out of the faucet would attach to the 3/8" compression side. Or you could just use this valve: https://www.homedepot.com/p/SharkBite-1-2-in-Push-to-Connect-x-3-8-in-O-D-Compression-Chrome-Plated-Brass-Quarter-Turn-Angle-Stop-Valve-23036-0000LF/202270612, or this valve: https://www.homedepot.com/p/SharkBite-1-2-in-Push-to-Connect-x-3-8-in-O-D-Compression-Chrome-Plated-Brass-Quarter-Turn-Straight-Stop-Valve-23037-0000LF/202270613

A:  As long as the temperature does not exceed 200 degrees. You shouldn't have a problem.

A:  Yes if the threads are the same use pipe dope on threads , I always cut out the old galvanized pipe . Old galvanized pipe is always corroded water is restricted as the pipe corrodes

A:  As long as the threading matches I don't see a problem. Are you concerned about brass to galvanized creating a corrosion problem?

A:  Yes. Make sure the thread is a match for your female galvanized pipe.

A:  The compatibility is with the hose/tubing of the system and not with the individual components.

A:  Sharkbite U134LFA is for potable water applications only. This should not be connected to FEBCO's 765-QT PVB 3/4".
