SharkBite Max push-to-connect fittings allow you make pipe connections with half the insertion effort while withstanding double the burst pressure. Featuring a newly designed stainless-steel retainer, SharkBite Max delivers additional strength and durability while providing a 250-psi pressure rating. The re-engineered body allows you to insert the pipe using less effort and doesn’t require a PEX tube liner. No soldering, clamps, unions, glue, or special tools are required for installation. They are the fastest way to connect PEX, copper, CPVC, PE-RT and HDPE pipe. The fitting can be rotated after installation for quick adjustments, and removing the fitting is just as fast with a disconnect tool, allowing fittings and valves to be changed or reused. (SharkBite push-to-connect fittings are the fastest when compared to other conventual plumbing methods. All other comparisons relate to first generation SharkBite push-to-connect products.)

I’ve been installing PEX for a few years now and still can’t believe how much easier it is to install compared to swearing copper. What’s even nicer is the ability to uninstall and reinstall these fittings with no leaks. Will continue to install in the future. This 45 degree fitting was exactly what I needed.

Normally I wouldn’t use a product like this. It took me a long time to trust them over a soldered joint but in situations where a torch would be dangerous or access is limited they are worth the cost and they don’t leak.

Very easy and quick way to fix a broken pipe. Simply cut the broken piece of pipe out and slip the snake bite into place and it done

Like the idea they are very hard to push on, and really a pain even with the tool to remove.
