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.

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.

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.

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?

Is the valve supposed to spin on the pipe? Would it leak if it spins?
@Manzilla56 Жыл бұрын
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.
@David-nz4st6 ай бұрын
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.
