Getting a new heater and AC system. When the guy was under house doing the
ducts, he found two leaks in the water lines. Plumber could not get there
for a week, so decided I had to crawl under and do the job. Leaking pipe
to a Union and a leaking sweated joint. Water still dripping from lines,
so near impossible to solder. Used Sharkbite connectors. Fabulous
invention.
Thanks for info. Never used 'em.

Sharkbite connectors are great. Just be prepared for some sticker shock
when you buy them. Pricey!

Ended up a lot cheaper than the $180 an hour plumber.


True. Our kitchen remodel included some plumbing work. Since I had hired a contractor for the job (a total rip-out down to sheetrock), a plumber was involved. He used sharkbite connectors to join PEX to the existing PVC.


Why not just extend the existing (C)PVC to the place you need it. Just
be sure to use the brass drop ear flanges and brass shut off valves.
Surely a plumber could handle pasting together that pipe.
