6 QuestionsQ: XCould you tell me when you tee into a exsiting copper line, how much of the line actually slides into the fitting. Or another way of saying how much of the line needs to be cut out for the connection. Thanks

in my experience there is usually enough "play" in the pipe so you may not have to take any "out". If you need to take some some out and you don't have any play, you wont be able to get this in-line anyway. If you can, remove about 1" of pipe and try to fit. Good luck Steve
Q: Does the 1/2" shark bite tee fit the 1/2" copper and PEX tubing?

Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffYes, Sharkbite fittings are compatible with both copper and pex tubing of the same advertised sizes.
Q: on the 1 x 1 x 3/4 Pex Tee - which connections is the 3/4? In the middle, or at one of the ends?
Asked by Greg 14 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffThe last dimension listed is the middle port. The middle is 3/4" on U416 tees.
in the middle is the 3/4
The middle will be the 3/4"
According to http://www.sharkbiteplumbing.com/fittings/tees/reducing-tees?limit=all that tee has the ¾" outlet in the middle. Jeff

They sell a variety of couplings in all shapes and configurations, I would suggest looking at pictures on their website and get the correct item number for the one you want. Most "standard" couplings like this would have the same size pipe opposite each other and the different size as "the one in the middle" but if you can check pictures I would do that if the location really matters.
Q: I understand these fittings twist into place. Does the direction of the twist matter? For instance in a Tee the twist will be in two directions depending which pipe your looking at.
Asked by Larry 14 years ago
Add your answer
they don't need to twist. hence, the direction does not matter. If they twist some as they wre inserted it do not hurt.
They slide straight in, not twist in.
Twisting is not required. Twisting does help to push the pipe all teh way in, which is required, but you can twist either way or not at all.
These fittings push together to lock. it does not require a twist in any particular direction.
They are not twisted. the pipe is just inserted and sealed by a type of o-ring and locked in place by a collar in the the fitting
The direction of the twist does not matter, this just ensures that you "seat" the pipe all the way into the valve and around the gasket properly. Don't worry about T's and other tight angles, you can actually twist the pipe around and around in the fitting even when it's fully "seated" and I don't believe that would cause any problems.
Q: Can I use these fittings on pex-al-pex piping? I want to tap into the main water line into the house to ultimately support a lawn irrigation system. The water line is 1" pex-al-pex and I need it to connect to a 3/4" pex.
Asked by Dave 14 years ago

Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffSharkBite fittings cannot be used on PEX-AL-PEX. These fittings can only be used on PEX, copper, and PVC.
Pex push fittings are not designed for pex-al-pex piping. Pex makes a compression fitting specifically for pex-al-pex pipe.
No. "SharkBite Fittings are not compatible with PEX-Al-PEX Tubing."
Q: Is it recomended to remove the plastic insert on a Sharkbite fitting when using Copper pipes or, does it matter one way or another?
Asked by RHEBERT 16 years ago

Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffYou can leave the plastic inserts in the fittings. There will only be a slight change to your water pressure.
I have never removed them on 1" copper and had no problems.
