    I am preparing to install a shut off valve on my own, for the 1rst time, & this video is invaluable to me! I have little to no experience with plumbing & this video has given me the confidence to conquer the project on my own! Thank you for sharing!

    Great vid! I'm installing a shark bite shut off with waste gate for outdoor plumbing that already busted due to cold weather. The waste gate will drain all the excess water from the outdoor plumbing to avoid future outdoor pipe breaks. Great to know that shark bit is simply a slip on installation.

    I love these fittings, they have saved my bacon many times. They are a little more than a standard crimp or copper fitting (you would not want to plumb your whole house with them $$$), but for repairs they are great. I had to replace the floor in my Grandma's bathroom some of the copper pipes under the floor had been pinched during installation 30+ years ago and finally developed a pinhole, rotting out her floor. A couple of these couplers and a short piece of copper and the leak was gone. I know how to solder copper pipe but , the thought of laying in the mud under the floor then waiting for all the water to dry out of the pipe and taking a chance with that old copper... well these fitting took just about 2 minutes and the best part, no mud bath for me. :)

    Thank you so much. You saved us so much time .. we have a leak in our hot water heater, and of course in a double wide, no cut off valves are on it. We have put them on the rest of the house, but the hot water heater is hidden behind a wall in a back closet! While we can do without hot water for a bit, we can't do with the water leaking on our particle board flooring .. it has already sunk into the floor a bit! So now we can at least stop the water from filling and leaking after we drain it. Thank you thank you thank you!

    I am not a plumber, just found a problem but can not do nothing about it until tomorrow.
    The video makes it look easy. I have the colored water lines so i am hoping mine is plex pipe. (2016 builts)
    Found a leak under bathroom sink and found it was the Faucet, while i was under there i seen the cut off value looked like it wasn't on good so i need to replace it tomorrow also.
    It makes me nervous to replace water things in home because i am scared of leaks.
    But you made it look easy. Thanks for sharing video. Wish me luck tomorrow. Lol

    Do you think I could use this as a shut off valve for my dishwasher water line? Just replaced my dishwasher & found that the dishwasher line has no shut off valve for water. If I ever have a leak in the dishwasher line, the entire water supply to the house will drip drip drip from that line. LOL I need to be able to shut off the dishwasher water line if I ever have an issue with a leak without shutting off the entire house's water.
    I had a dishwasher water line leak at my old house that I couldn't fix right away, so I just shut the valve off under the sink to the dishwasher water line until I could fix it & the sink would still operate normally. I'd like the same type set up now at current house using the Sharkbite if it's doable.

    • @HomeCraftChronicles
      @HomeCraftChronicles  6 років тому

      Absolutely! You definitely need a shut off on your dishwasher line for just that reason. This type of valve would be prefect for that. They make valves for faucet and dw supply that could make the install no more than a 20 minutes job. Let me know how you make out with it.

    Everyone raves about these, I guess I'll test them for how idiot-proof they really are, lol. One thing I'm a bit concerned about is inserting the pipe to the right depth. Did you mark the tube to show you how far (3/4:"?) to push the pex into the sharkbite?

    • @HomeCraftChronicles
      @HomeCraftChronicles  7 років тому +1

      +Dreamingrightnow I did not mark the pipe. It is fairly easy to tell by feel when the pipe bottoms out in the fitting. Technically, however, you should be water tight as soon as the fitting grabs the pipe. Regardless of how far in it is.
