Quick connect: no tools, soldering, clamps, unions or glue required, cut pipe square, de-burr to remove rough edges/debris
Quick disconnect: Disconnect in seconds by sliding the de-mount tool down the pipe to engage the demount lugs & rotate clockwise to lock open position
SAFE-recessed release collar: commercial SharkBite require a special demount tool and cannot be accidentally disconnected/released
Extensive range including slip feature on couplings and tee's
Easy installation: unlike the tool intensive connection methods there is no need to send multiple fitters to a job
All fittings are lubricated for easy connection and by fitting the de-mount tool before engaging the pipe the force required can be reduced further
Wet or dry: no waiting for copper tube to dry before soldering or glue to cure, SharkBite makes an instant connection in seconds
No tools: unlike alterative tool intensive connections systems, SharkBite has no special tooling required for installation
No time: fastest connection - cut-push-done, easy access to small or confined places, no flame - does not require fire permit or fire marshal
No waste: should you make an error or simply want to change your installation, no problem for SharkBite, simply remove and re-use
Fittings cannot be disassembled: SharkBite commercial fitting are factory assembled and components cannot be removed
Long pipe engagement: provides pipe support against lateral pipe forces
Lead free (LF) dezincification resistance (DZR) brass: exceeds current no lead legislation - AB1953 or NSF372
Suitable for underground installation subject to local code authorities/inspectors
Environmentally friendly: remove and re-use fittings no need to be scrapped, no heat is required for installation
