Thank you. I wasn’t sure the actual purpose of the trim ring and it was making me hesitant to install. Your video was the first of the many I watched, which actually explained it.
Thanks man… Our temps last night were -8 and had a pipe burst in my basement and with no plumbing experience whatsoever, I feel confident I can replace the part with one of these
Thank you! That was perfect! I bought a generic shark it double 3/8 and you video showed me how to install it as well as what the orange plastic (removal tool) was for.❤
Thank you! ..exactly the video I was looking for!
That trim ring also doubles as a removal tool.
This comment right here! I was pissed cause I forgot to put the round plate that covers the drywall hole and I didn’t have that special tool to remove it. Thankyou kind sir! 🫡
Very perfect simple straight to point video. Thank you!
You didn't mention of 1 inch to mark on the pipe.
Thanks I did not take off the trim ring good thing I watched this video before I turned my water pressure on and flooded the entire house
That was CPVC not PVC. There IS a difference.
Also., the insert in the Sharkbite should be removed. Although not mandatory, it's just something else to help constrict the flow of water. It's only needed when using PEX.
CPVC? He's using copper? What insert? I don't see anyway to remove anything?
@@df56gh4d5h 1:26 Did you watch the whole video? that's cpvc pipe.
0:36 That insert is only needed for PEX. It should be removed for copper and cpvc. Just grab it with a needle nose and pull it out.
@@joeweatlu5169 That's not what it says on the Sharkbite UA-cam page or website.
@@todd2456 True, but it's not necessary for CPVC or copper. It will only restrict water flow, so take it out if not needed. Shark Bite does say it doesn't _have_ to be removed, but it may be removed.
On the shakbite packages it says on the labels to remove the plastic insert when using the sharkbite on copper. The plastic insert is for PEX
It says on their UA-cam page that you do NOT need to remove the stiffener.
The “trim” ring. I flip it around and use it as the removal tool. Other than that, it’s basically useless. I never even heard it called a trim ring. At first I thought it was just an aesthetic thing, but then I realized I could use it to remove the valve without having to use my pex removal tool. Good luck everyone.
I have a piece of cpvc coming out of my wall. I’ve slipped on my escutcheon. How much pipe should be exposed to make this connection?
thanks for making it simple to understand
Your video is one of the only that mentions the trim ring. I wasn’t sure if it was for shipping, a removal tool, meant to be left on to install then removed or what!
Thank you! Was looking for a video just like this.
Thank your for sharing, because u sharing i was able to help a customer 😊
how far did you push it in, do you know in inches?
0:29 - You forgot to deburr the exterior copper wall.
Did not verify the depth either. He's fired!
Need to remove the plastic inner piece for copper
what if my copper is short and looks like it will break? will I be able to still pull on the last shark bite to replace it or will I risk water pressure leakage during the pull?
Hi, question. I had to replace my shutoff valve. When I took of the old compression sleeve, new one didn't fit because the old ring made the pipe a bit thinner. So I googled and found Sharkbite shutoff valve and installed. My question is, after installed, if I leave it just as is then it's no problem, no leak. But if I grab it and twist then water is coming out. Is this normal?
Sharkbite makes non-push on. (threaded) valves now but the quality is very poor. I just installed two today and both of them leak at the shaft stem. Very dissappointing. Not only do they leak at the valve stem, there are only 2 threads to engage with your plumbing.
Ty bro I fixed my screw up from last night 🤣
Nice! Glad to help you out! 🤣
Do you need the trim ring if the fit is too tight? Or is it just trim for show/looks?
Just for show/looks.
What about installing it on the galvanized one? Thanks short but great video!
"you are going to feel it slide into place and be secure" Is there a better description as to how far to slide on and how hard to press ?
Actually there is a chart or a depth tool to mark how far to push the Sharkbite onto the pipe.
Mark a line on your copper at 1 inch and make sure it slides in that far.
Your supposed to pull the plastic piece out that’s only ment for pex
What size shut off is that? 1/2" x 3/8" or 1/2" x 1/2"??
DOES Sharkbite shut off valve is it 1 SIZE FIT ALL for size of pipe
Why don’t they make the trim rim the removal tool
Thanks!
What about metal pipe
Is the valve supposed to spin on the pipe? Would it leak if it spins?
It is supposed to spin. It's actually a unique characteristic of sharkbites that make them more versatile for certain things.
It shouldn't be leaking. Hopefully you have measured the depth needed and marked it on the pipe prior to install.
Yes it should spin. That way you don't have to buy several shut off valves that need to point up/down/sideways. It will rotate and do all of them.
I put mine on but the valve wont turn.
Thanks 👍
THANK YOU, there are no real instructions in the package.
Fyi, it doesn't work on old houses that have thicker copper.
Wow, I was literally about to call mr rooter, not anymore.
awesome
Does it leaks water like the compressor rings?
Ive used about 10 of these in my house so far. Oldest one was installed about 2 years ago and no problems so far.
Thanks man 🐄
You forget to mention 1" and 3'4 if you put water in that pipe for sure is going to licking.
Huh?
Where tf does thisl little brass.piece go
I believe that's for connecting it to pex or a smaller copper line
I wouldn't sleep well if those were installed at my home, I solder or use compression valves
Yes, just had two fail on me in our master bath, under the sink within a couple of months from a home that had them installed on a high end bath remodel before we bought. Thousands of dollars later in cleanup and replacement of cabinets, drywall, and tile.
Compression valves leak im about to try this one
@@blacksunshine489 Bummer
Good to know though
Thanks for sharing......
I am right in the middle of my bathroom
@@phillippettit2138 Just follow the instructions carefully.
LOL...I put one on in the hall bath two years ago--of course after reading instructions and viewing vids and it's never leaked.
1st rule of plumbing, stay away from shark bite fittings.
Don't ever use sharkbite fittings !!!!!!!
This is pretty poor example for a new user to watch.
No good.
Shark bite is for rookies plumbers!!!!🤔🤔🤔
Even This Old House uses them. Just like soldering, SharkBites have their uses.
That's what worried plumbers say
It's called "new tech". Do you still use dialup for your internet? This is a solid connection.
Who is “rookies”

This doesn't work if you had a compression ring on the copper pipe. It will leak.
