For a good time do this under a sink without turning the water off first!

[@terry4605]

House build in 1964 owners I think was scared of a nuke cause there's 3 inch of concrete in my wall so laying inverted trying to do this with a newly found roach nest but hey I found our leak roach problem what they was eating started a home remodeling project and I've stretched muscles I haven't used since basic training

[@dezign187]

lol or crawl under the house and forget to release the pressure in the lines and catch a hot stream of water to the face. We both laughed our asses off for a minute.

[@HomeownerRepair]

This is always fun!

[@HomeownerRepair]

LOL..that makes for a bad day!...lol

[@kellylynne5010]

it took literally ten seconds to remove the shark bite fitting from my water heater line with this video. i had just about decided i was going to have to cut the pipe to do it. Thank you so much.

Just saved me from doing with out water till Lowe's opens tomorrow. I used 2 shark bites in a bathroom, one of them was fine, the other was spewing water. Cut the water back off at the road, watched this video, took the shark bite off using his method. Turns out the copper pipe had a cut in it. I cut the pipe below the cut, put the shark bite back on, and it is now leak free. My family of 5 will have running water tonight and in the morning thanks to this guy.... Thank goodness for KZbin and especially the guy that did this vid...…. Right on brother!!!! Liked and subscribed...

[@HomeownerRepair]

This is awesome....glad this helped you. I can separate the fittings easier using this method than with their plastic c shaped tool

[@TiringharpCaleb]

thankyou so much! this saved me time and money and a ton of frustration!

[@HomeownerRepair]

Glad it helped!

[@adambroxton8191]

Having tried both the sharkbite tool and your method I prefer to use your method

[@HomeownerRepair]

Me too it's easier.

[@MVortex2]

Handy tip. Just mentioning that if your current fitting is leaking you probably wanna recut and de-burr (sand down) the existing surfaces to eliminate that as the cause of the leak.

[@HomeownerRepair]

[@HomeownerRepair]

I have tried that little plastic tool...I think this way is easier

[@adjiii]

Thank you so much! I pushed the SharkBite fitting sillcock through the wall and of course it lined right up and locked on to the pipe before it was cut to length. Lol! I was able to use a 5/8 open-end wrench to release it.

[@HomeownerRepair]

Glad it helped!

[@koertdubois6781]

Thanks for taking the time to make the video! Saved me a trip to Lowe's in the middle of an already busy day. Two things I discovered; if the wrench isn't applying enough even force, a large zip tie around the pipe will press on the entire perimeter of the disassembly ring. And, if the fitting isn't securely held in place, allowing the wrench to press hard against it, it really helps to hold the pipe as the wrench is pushing on the fitting.

[@jjt2me]

Thanks for the tip about the large (not small) zip tie. I had to resort to a combination of things, so don't know what might have been the clincher: 3-in-1 oil tip from Thomas Sulcar below (didn't do it using official tool), large zip tie (didn't do it), adjustable wrench instead of official plastic tool (didn't do it), and finally hammer the adjustable wrench--that did it!
