SharkBite 3/4 Inch CTS x 3/4 Inch PVC Transition Coupling, Push to Connect Brass Plumbing Fitting, PEX Pipe, Copper, CPVC, PE-RT, HDPE, UIP4016A

I harbored doubts about the long term reliability of push-fit plumbing fittings. But having said that, I have yet to see a single failure. This stuff makes plumbing work just as easy as a certain Danish plastic block construction toy!The problem with sweating/soldering copper tube, or (worse) gluing PVC pipe, is that you have to get the lengths right first time - no do-overs. With Sharkbite it's good to know that if you've misjudged a cut you can remove the fitting, trim the tube, and try again. As an aside, the plastic crescent-type removal tool that comes free with most of these fittings is pretty unergonomic and tricky to use - do yourself a favor and invest in their proper metal removal tool.I've used this stuff now for bathrooms, laundry rooms and showers in-wall with copper tubing and PEX, and for garden irrigation with Schedule 40 PVC, and it's always a delight to use.I wish it wasn't so darned expensive, but a) it's a great product, so fair play to the inventors and I guess they can charge what the market will bear, and b) when you factor in all the time you save not having to sweat/solder/glue, you'd have to put a really low value on your own personal time to begrudge the upfront purchase cost!Highly recommended.

Great to use with pex tubing - fit easily and has held up very well under constant pressure. I like these fittings because you don't have to sweat copper joints or have specialized pex tools to use them. It makes plumbing a simple DIY task.If you only have a little plumbing to do (mine was an outdoor kitchen) then these fittings are the way to go. I think if you have a lot then getting the specialized tools would be worth it - these fittings are expensive.

Was perfect as described. Had a Water main going from pvc to copper. And this worked perfectly. Pressured up no leaks.

This makes this kind of work so easy. Heck I was thrilled when pvc came out and I didn't have to solder so much. I do wonder how long they last. I get it that EPDM lasts quite a while. But I have a 60 year old house that still has old fittings..and still work. Will these last that long? I probably won't be around to find out.

Easy to use.

Very easy to use for quick repair!

This makes plumbing so easy

Water line had a small pin hole leak in it costing me about $60 more a month. Dug up the line and found the City had PVC from the meter to our 3/4” Galvanized pipe. Which was where the pin hole leak was. This fixed me up got Pex tubing to the house now.

was a little late on the shipment but overall good value

Used for my Rachio Flow Meter, so far it’s holding up with issues.

Worked great as advertised

worked for my purpose.
