SharkBite fittings

Good thing Home Depot is across the street. Got a brass 90, splice, better PEX shear than I have here, AND A REMOVAL TOOL ..:)

Its in and done, but doing that in a wall 6" down from the access hole is a PITA, good thing i have skinny arms and resistant to bleeding (mostly)....

KUDOS to the moron at Winnebago who pulled a PVC elbow from the box that clearly had a bubble in the mold and tried to cover it up with pipe dope and teflon tape.






The fix

If it is PEX the PEX adapters should be in the package Too

I have used the Flair-It fittings and the SharkBite fittings and have had no problem with either one. The Flair-It fittings were quite a bit cheaper though.

I added an accumulator tank using SharkBite fittings. Yes, buy the disconnect tool.

I'd also take a look at Flair-It fittings, as an alternative, as the non "pro" can be disassembled by hand.

Definitely words of wisdom!

THANKS! I figured someone's been down this road before.

Now off to fix a Winnebago factory screw up !
