Customer Reviews for SharkBite 3/4 in. Push-to-Connect PVC IPS x 3/4 in. MIP Brass Adapter Fitting

I & my plumber friends have been using this style of connector for a few years now and we love them! No more carrying around a tank of gas, no more worrying about catching something on fire, no more flux & solder....you get the idea! I keep a bunch of different connectors in my truck and I'm in & out in sometimes a quarter of the usual time. In my area we have a lot of acid in the water & older homes and I'm always getting calls to fix pinhole leaks. This style of connector is cool as you don't have to make sure every last drop of water is out of the pipe before making the connections like when soldering. They are a god send in crawl spaces! The instructions say not to use a hacksaw to cut the pipe.. I love that they are brass and the acidic water doesn't effect them like copper & that they are removable, so if there is a leak further down the line it can be removed to add a longer piece of pipe.

I love these SharkBite fittings. They are so easy to use. Just cut the pipe to size to fit the installation location. And just about any type of pipe you want use. Whether it is PEX, PVC, copper; there is a SharkBite fitting for it. Push the pipe into fitting, make sure it is seated, and then it is connected. These fittings make it very easy to transition from one type of pipe to another. This one allows you connect threaded pipe to PVC. They also make the job go a lot quicker. And no leaks.

The SharkBite PVC Connector 1/2" is such an improvement over soldering joints. The easy of installation makes the job easier to plan and modify if necessary. It provides a water tight seal, yet allows the waterline to rotate inside if necessary, The Sharkbite fits so well you need only issue was removal of the connector, it fits so well you must purchase a removal tool. The cost of removal tool is only a couple bucks. Overall very good product. I will use this type of connector on any future job.

Fittings arrived earlier that was told by 2 days

So far, so good! Only time will tell, thus good instead of excellent. Using with brass shut off on 1/2" PVC because the quality of PVC shut offs now is terrible, I had immediate leaks with PVC of resent and decided to change to brass. These fittings will allow me to re-tighten to shut-offs if needed.

The quickest way to transition from PVC to copper.

Shark bite connectors are great.

Worked easily and no leaks!

i only use shark bite, i recomend this pruduct to any one doing a plumbing job

Easy to use and quick

Worked great used it for my new shower installation.

The product is great. However, the section where the fittings are was in a state of disarray. I bought a fitting that was marked "PVC" but it did not fit 3/4 inch PVC. The package was marked "PVC" but the sleeve was tan not white. I had to return the product and purchase online.

SharkBites work good if you know how to install them correctly.

Works like a champ. I recommend this product .

Sharkbite’s are awesome for the DIY home owner. I have used them in the barn, underground, the basement, the butcher shop, and the work shop. I have never had a leak if properly installed. I have some over ten years old the pipes have leaked but never a Sharkbite connection!! C’mon!!

So easy. Way better than using soldered on connections.

Worked great and very pleased.
