Connecting Shark Bite Plumbing Fittings to PEX Pipes

1.Preparation of PEX Pipe

Before connecting Shark Bite fittings to PEX pipes, it’s essential to prepare the pipe properly. Ensure the PEX pipe is clean and free from any debris. Use a pipe cutter to make a clean, square cut, and then deburr the edges to create a smooth surface.

3.Inserting the Pipe into the Fitting

Once the insertion depth is marked, it’s time to insert the PEX pipe into the Shark Bite fitting. Hold the fitting securely in one hand and push the pipe into the fitting with the other hand. Apply firm, even pressure until the pipe reaches the marked depth.

After making the connection, it’s important to test it for leaks. Pressurize the system according to the manufacturer’s recommendations and inspect the connection for any signs of leakage. If no leaks are detected, the connection is secure and ready for use.
