Beginners Guide To SHARKBITE Fittings (Watch till end BEFORE Buying!) | GOT2LEARN

One of the best videos of all time! Not kidding! To all Youtubers out there- note these features:
1. No obnoxious music (or any music) in the background.
2. No obnoxious "flash screens", quick transitions, drop screen to black and light up again transitions, etc. This content is very comfortable to watch.
3. Clear, understandable speech- see item 1 above, as well.
4. Content is well organized and formatted.

Installed sharkbites in my bathroom about 13 years ago, 1st plumbing thing I ever did, all with maybe just a brief read of the instructions, and of course some prayer, and they are still working great.

What an organized, methodical tutorial. Great job. Thank you. 
I am a 76 year old retired HVAC service tech / installer. It is time for me to install a water powered back up sump pump. The pump I purchased has a shark bite inlet connection.
My plan was to pitch it and sweat all the needed connections for the pump and new water line.
I then decided to check into these things. Although being retired and working on my own home means time is not my concern, lazy is a big factor.

Once again THANK YOU!!

This video is excellent. Clear speaking, quality images, no wasted time. Never checked the time the whole video. Thanks!

Installed my Sharks about 5 years ago for hot water tank. Did not know what I was doing and just stuck them on. They are still working great.

You are SUCH an excellent educator, and I appreciate all the work you put into producing these videos. 👏 Your provide use examples for each case, purchasing & prepping all the materials, and you are SO THOROUGH! Thank you! 🙏

A very informative clip. This guy knows what he's talking about. Most home owners screw up everything they try repairing.

Thanks for putting this video together. The presentation was clear, succinct and professional. I liked the fact that you highlighted the pro's and con's for a product that is not quite there in so far as absolute confidence is concerned - that these joints wont break down after a long period of time or where they are not easily accessible.

This is a great video. At first I thought "surely it doesn't need to be 15 minutes" but you really did a fantastic & thorough job covering everything you could possibly want to know about using one of these fittings. I always gotta drop a comment on videos with this much effort put in. Keep it up!

Eight years ago, heating went out for a couple vacation homes where I live.
The house fitted with copper had destroyed connections throughout the hose. Serious water damage.
The house fitted with Sharkbite fittings had some 'stretched' pex, but NO leaks... NO failed Sharkbite fittings.
After seeing those results, when I remodeled my house, adding 1 1/2 bathrooms, a sauna and extra tubs in the basement, I used Sharkbite throughout. Extremely easy... and I took my time to make sure EVERY pipe was properly squared, properly cleaned before insertion. I may never sweat copper again.

I used a Sharkbite 90 and valve in my crawl space about a month ago. It worked in the heat of the (leak) moment without issue; especially for someone who previously had zero plumbing experience. After watching your thorough breakdown and deep dive, I'll still be looking to replace them with soldered copper items, as I have no comfortability issues with doing that. Thank you very much for the video.

They are great for quick fixes on our vacation home in the desert. The home has polybutylene pipe and shaekbite also makes fittings to adapt from that to copper/pvc/pex. I’ve replaced all the connections to the faucets using these with zero problems. Planning on tearing out the polybutylene and doing a pex repipe in the near future.

What a terrific, clear, concise, and honest report and instructions. Thank you so much, I will start using these, since I did not trust them before, but did not know why. Excellent work.

One of the best instructional videos I've seen on the Tube. Everything clear, to the point, without getting sidelined, VERY clear pictures.

This just saved me a small fortune when working on my backflow system from my sprinklers. 100x easier for me to just cut the pipe, installed and thread in my ball valve, and then connect the pipe again with the Sharkbite. For $8 I just saved myself a $150 plumber visit - thank you!

Good video. Very informative. The Pro/Con, and personal evaluation at the end summed it up perfectly. I also came away with two valuable tips; don't skimp-out on the tools or the prep work. If you do, don't blame the fitting afterward. Also, the real-time demo was impressive (it's hard to argue with a real time demo).

Excellent tutorial and I saved it to my "How To" playlists. Your clear speech and good volume makes it easy to understand. Thanks for all your work on these showing the cut-a-ways and such. Already a subscriber.

That was a great video to watch—actually enjoyable. Professional, clean, concise, coherent, no filler, no bias, and your experienced opinion was saved for last and stated as your preference. This is how videos, especially trade videos, should be done. Thank you for a great video and all the work you put into it.

Explanation is super clear. Demonstration was well prepared with crossed section pictures that are exceptionally clear.
A job well done and I appreciate your time and effort!
