There are posts on the Airstream forums about sharkbite/gatorbite leak horror stories due to the fact they rely on a single O-ring to keep water in. I'd highly recommend going with Flair-It. Installs/removes by hand, but it uses the surface of the PEX pipe to create/maintain the seal instead of one piece of rubber which will erode.
Supposedly there are sharkbite/gatorbite/probite types that have multiple O-rings to help fix this, but I've not found a link or name.
New TT for me and DW. She wanted a new faucet in the bathroom. Bought one at Lowe's yesterday. 10 minute job turned into 2 hours of knuckle busting frustration when I couldn't get the hot water PEX line o-ring to seat on the faucet connection. I think/hope/pray I finally got it set but I don't have a lot of confidence in this. My first experience with these PEX O-rings. I must say I don't have a lot of confidence moving forward.
One day I'll learn to leave well enough alone...one day.
Keep a close eye on that fitting. I was looking under the shower & found it quite damp. Turned out to be a dripping fitting on the shower faucet that I had installed earlier.
