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! 🙏

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

Love the cut-away and burr turbulence demo! No need for mystery on how these work. Knowing what's inside and showing some of the common ways they can fail helps make better decisions on where/when to use these over another product type, thanks for a great video.

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!

Thank you SO MUCH for this VERY informative video. I have been doing property maintenance for condos here in Florida for 28 years and I can honestly say I have never used these yet. I’ve heard of them tho. Well I now need to put a toilet in my mother in laws house and she has PEX so I was looking at valves and decided to try the shark bite on hers BEFORE I try them with one of my tenets 😆😉. I have SERIOUSLY learned EVERYTHING possible from your video on this fitting. I very much so appreciate your time and effort you put into this very educational video for all of us out here. Thank you from Florida, USA 🇺🇸

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.

Thank you, you answered my question. I was worried that it still would spin after I installed on the pipe and afraid of a leak at that point, but when you said that it could be repositioned and showed it , that relieved my concern.

An absolutely fantastic, and detailed video, going through all the steps that are critical for planning & proper installation. I am running a single PEX cold line to my home brewery and watched this and feel much better now, know the proper way to install. Thank you so much!
