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.❤

That trim ring also doubles as a removal tool.

Very perfect simple straight to point video. Thank you!

Thank you! ..exactly the video I was looking for!

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

thanks for making it simple to understand

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

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 your for sharing, because u sharing i was able to help a customer 😊

Thank you! Was looking for a video just like this.

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.

You didn't mention of 1 inch to mark on the pipe.

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?

Ty bro I fixed my screw up from last night 🤣

how far did you push it in, do you know in inches?

What about installing it on the galvanized one? Thanks short but great video!

Do you need the trim ring if the fit is too tight? Or is it just trim for show/looks?

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?

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.

0:29 - You forgot to deburr the exterior copper wall.

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.

Your supposed to pull the plastic piece out that’s only ment for pex

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?

Why don’t they make the trim rim the removal tool

"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 ?

Thanks!

What about metal pipe

Thanks 👍

DOES Sharkbite shut off valve is it 1 SIZE FIT ALL for size of pipe

What size shut off is that? 1/2" x 3/8" or 1/2" x 1/2"??

awesome

THANK YOU, there are no real instructions in the package.

Is the valve supposed to spin on the pipe? Would it leak if it spins?

I put mine on but the valve wont turn.

Fyi, it doesn't work on old houses that have thicker copper.

Thanks man 🐄

Wow, I was literally about to call mr rooter, not anymore.

Does it leaks water like the compressor rings?

Where tf does thisl little brass.piece go

You forget to mention 1" and 3'4 if you put water in that pipe for sure is going to licking.

Don't ever use sharkbite fittings !!!!!!!

I wouldn't sleep well if those were installed at my home, I solder or use compression valves

No good.

1st rule of plumbing, stay away from shark bite fittings.

This is pretty poor example for a new user to watch.

Shark bite is for rookies plumbers!!!!🤔🤔🤔

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