After the Freeze Spell in December 2022, I had to replace 7, YES Seven, Bursted Sharkbites under a House as well as 30 feet of copper piping. This includes (1) Tee (2) 90's and (1) 3/4" flex line that some hack had put as on the Hot Water Supply line the the Wash Machine , & (3) sharkbite Couplings. So NO Thank you I will Never Use Them Again Except Emergency Repairs until I can get either a PEX fitting or solder on a copper fitting.
I agree I only use them as a last case scenario. Also they cost so much you can get a crimper and have it paid for if you have more than 10 fittings to install. Thanks for commenting and sharing your experience.
