For the life of me I can not get any reliable info on sharkbites.
I hate using them and only use them when I have no choice.
I live in B.C. Canada
Can someone answer these questions for me.
Does code accept them?
Behind walls?
underground?
Soft Copper?
I told my boss I dont like using them underground on soft copper becuase, soft copper is never perfectly round and if they dont line up they tend to leak.
So say I used one underground, got it lined up nice and had no leaks. As soon as the ground settles its going to cause the joint to leak. I insisted on him getting 1/2" corp succ couplins
I find sharkbites for the lazy plumber or people who dont know how to plumb.
