It depends where the leak is. If it is leaking from either sharkbite end, it is possible the copper is not fully seated in sharkbite, if that is the case, and your copper has some play, try to insert the copper further into valve. If the copper was cut too short you may need to lengthen by adding a coupling, thereby lengthening pipe to fully insert into valve. If it leaking around the ball valve, or if re-seating copper doesn't work, it may need replaced. *To your success,Kurt***.*****
The valve itself shouldn't leak. Have you checked that the lines in and out were installed according to instructions? Peter Nagourney
I had a drip as well when I connected to water heater. The way I fixed it was by extending the pex tubbing just enough to make it a tight fit from the valve to the water heater. That worked for me. It seemed like the tubbing was to short or short enough to cause the leak. hopefully it works for you. If your using copper try to make the pipe slightly longer. or long enough to make it a tighter fit. Good luck!
When this valve is turned off and you open the small drain cap to allow the water to drain back or out to the low point in the system a small amount of water is expected. If the valve leaks when yu turn it off without opening the cap then it is defective or debris be inside the valve affecting it's integrity. I would turn it on and off while water is flowing 10 times if it still leaks it must be replaced. These valves have no serviceable parts other than the small drain cap. Sent from my iPhone
Yes, SharkBite fittings are compatible with CPVC (in addition to copper and PEX).
cpvc copper soft and hard and pex it will work on. No pvc or iron
Yes
It should work. I love sharkbite fittings but I have used them with pex pipe and copper, but CPVC outside diameters should be the same.
Shark Bite Valves are designed to work with copper, pex, and cpvc pipe. I have used various sharkbite fittings on copper and pex in my house with great success, and although I have never personally used it on cpvc, it would be the first way I would attempt to connect cpvc pipe based on my previous experience.
To get a steady stream, you would need to blow out the lines with compressed air.
It will only drip unless you blow the line out with compressed air. Using compressed air would give you more of a steady stream.
This valve is normally used for draining water.
The drain value is used to drian the water between the the valve and the faucet. I used on the hot and cold water in my garage wash tub. During the winters I shutoff and drian, spring open and ready to go.
Yes, it can.
Yes
This valve is not automatic.
