Ensure the fitting is free from any damage, including but not limited to damaged or missing O-ring, cracked brass forging or deformed grab ring. 3.2 PREPARATION A. The tubing shall be cut square to ensure a proper connection. B. The tubing shall be free of dirt, debris or scale buildup. Any burrs shall be removed using a deburring tool. C.
THE SHARKBITE DESIGN (1/4” – 1”) The SharkBite Fitting incorporates a number of unique and patented features. WHY SHARKBITE? Instant push-fit connection for increased ease-of-use: o No soldering, clamps, unions, or glue required. Fittings certified to 200 PSI and 200°F (93°C): o Proven durability and quality. Fits copper tubing, and CTS CPVC and PEX: o Connects all three types in any combination.
CONNECTING A SHARKBITE FITTING 1. Cut the desired length of pipe. Make sure cuts are square and even. 2. Deburr the end of the pipe to remove any sharp edges. This will ensure that the o-ring will not be damaged upon insertion of the pipe. 3. Using a depth gauge, mark the pipe. A 1” mark on the pipe can be used as a guideline. Proper insertion depths are listed below. This will let you know if your connection is successful. Pipe Size Insertion Depth 1/4” 3/8” 1/2” 5/8” 3/4” 1” 0.813” 0.875” 0.
DISCONNECTING A FITTING With the Disconnect Clip 1. Place the SharkBite disconnect clip around the tube with the non-branded side against the release collar. 2. Push the clip against the release collar and pull the tube with a twisting action to release the tube. With Disconnect Tongs 1. Place the teeth around the fitting assembly. The fork end with the SharkBite brand logo should be positioned around the tube and the other end around the neck of the fitting. 2.
SHARKBITE SLIP PRODUCTS Slip fittings simplify repair by doing the job that two couplings and extra pipe would do. Only one end of the coupling has a stop, allowing the other end to slide freely over the end of a pipe. The fitting can be released with a disconnect tool and slid back onto the other end of the pipe for successful leak repair. Cut out the section of the pipe needing repair (no more than 2” in length). Using the SharkBite Deburring & Depth Gauge, clean the edges of the copper pipe.
SHARKBITE SLIP PRODUCTS In addition to slip coupling and tees, we also have slip ball valves and slip pressure regulators available to ease installation woes.

THE SHARKBITE 2XL DESIGN (1-1/4” – 2”) SharkBite Logo EPDM O Ring PPSU Locking Ring Nylon Disconnecting Ring Lead Free DZR Body 316 Stainless Steel Grab Ring 16
WHY SHARKBITE 2XL? Quick Connect: o No tools, soldering, clamps, unions or glue required. Cut pipe square, de-burr to remove rough edges/debris, mark the pipe for correct depth and push to get a pressure ready connection every time. Quick Disconnect: o Disconnect in seconds by sliding the De-Mount Tool down the pipe to engage the demount lugs and rotate clockwise to lock the open position leaving both hands free, you can now remove the pipe.
HOW TO MAKE A SHARKBITE 2XL CONNECTION 1. Cut copper, CPVC or PEX using a quality tuber or pipe cutter with a sharp blade. 2. Remove burrs and ensure pipe surface is free of scratches and any debris. It is critical that pipe be marked with the correct insertion depth as listed below: 1-1/4" Pipe Insertion Depth = 2" 1-1/2" Pipe Insertion Depth = 2-1/4" 2" Pipe Insertion Depth = 2-1/2" 3. Align pipe with the fitting, insert pipe while rotating either pipe or fitting. 4.
DISCONNECTING A SHARKBITE 2XL CONNECTION 1. Place the Shark Shifter De-Mount Tool on the pipe just above the connection. Then slide the tool down to engage lugs on the head of the fitting. 2. Rotate the Shark Shifter De-Mount Tool clockwise to lock onto the lugs. This will lock the Shark Shifter De-Mount Tool in place. 3. Rotate the Shark Shifter De-Mount Tool clockwise to lock onto the lugs. This will lock the Shark Shifter De-Mount Tool in place.
