Replace Leaky SHUT-OFF VALVE With SHARKBITE Slip-In [EASY]
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 มิ.ย. 2024
- In this video we demonstrate how to easily install a slip-in shut-off valve. We go everything, from the tools and prerequisites, to the common steps in detail: unsoldering the old connection, cleaning copper, and connecting the slip-in valve itself. We use a SharkBite ball valve in this video's installation.

No, you don't usually have slack. Your lucky if you have slack.
and one of the main question is: what is the distance of the copper ends separating from each other so that the sharkbite will fit in as it is suppose to? This video doesn't address that.
From the Sharkbite FAQ page: NOTE: The tube liner is necessary for use with PEX, HDPE or PE-RT Pipe. It is not required for copper or CPVC, however, it is not necessary to remove the tube liner from the fitting.
Ball valves: install the handle pointing downstream when open. This shows the direction of fluid flow.
I've never removed the plastic bushing, no matter what type of tubing I am installing a Sharkbite fitting to.
Showing how to remove a solder valve was informative - first 2.5 minutes. That said, this was not a “slip valve. Sharkbite Slip valves are longer and installed first past the insertion depth mark, e.g. for 1/2” the depth should be 1” (NOT 3/4” as shown) then, pushed back, using their tool (or something comparable) to the adjoining pipe depth mark. In reality, you will not have the “play” to push the adjoining pipe in place as presented in this clip, thus that’s the beauty of a slip valve.
I have never heard that tool called a nose plier. I've hears needle nose and also long nose.
Something different!
As a plumber since 1991 I can honestly say I love when these get used by non plumbers. When they go away and something else in the area goes wrong I cut out those valves and put em in a bucket for emergencies only 😂
It’s all in the install. Like anything else, if it’s not installed correctly, it will fail. If installed property, all things being equal, these sharkbite fittings last forever.
you mean you take it from the home owner...
@samsno3667 no dude, I take them from the apartment complex we are likely replumbing... I wouldn't pull one out if it had access and wasn't buried in a fucking wall or if it has nothing to do with the work provided... the fuckers will fail eventually and if I leave it I know it's just a coupling in the line waiting to be the first thing to leak... a dumbass might think it better to leave them in but I'm more often doing whoever (probably a fucking maintenance guy) a favor... so no, I'm not a fucking thief if that's what the fuck you're trying to imply.
@melvinmcgregor2673 no they don't.... every valve that ever was made eventually leaks at the packing nut or pressed in seal. There are no exceptions to that... all valves need access and that is so they can be exercised occasionally and eventually replaced or repaired once they leak... and no mechanical fitting with non metallic seals lasts forever... where do you get this information?
@@JoeA1974 everything being equal - it’s a figure of speech Joe. . Again, if installed correctly, they’ll last just as long as anything else - get it now?
No one that is using a propane torch should be giving plumbing advice
IKR 😂
Never use a ball valve where it might be subject to freezing. When they are closed, the water inside the "ball" will expand and crack the fitting. Don't ask me how I know.
I feel like this is missing how to secure the bite.
The original was soldered and he has a propane torch . Why not just solder another one in it would be so much easier LOL. Too many processes to achieve so little.
so that it will be easier to replace down the line; but then ... it's not suppose to leak anymore...until the mtbf.
shark Bite🤣😂😂
Nop you don’t you never have slack
Made up install,you never have slack!
