whassup? Sharkbites are NSF 61 approved and that means they are legal in Illinois. I used one in ritzy Northshore suburb, long story short, it was before I had my mini-pancake air compressor and I had the water off for over one hour and I still couldn't sweat. I installed the Sharkie and the inspector flunked me. He told the homeowner he had never seen that hack fitting before. I faxed his boss some cut sheets I had downloaded and asked if I still failed. He wasn't happy, but I told him that unless his town prohibited everything but sweat joints, which meant all the compression stops in town were illegal, he had to pass me, because it was NSF 61. I won.
