Shark Bite Faucet - amzn.to/2XbFzEY Copper Pipe Cutter - amzn.to/2AdxWoP

[@silvanoaportela9596]

Bad idea. Just swap the insides of the old valve with the new valve parts. Just unscrew the nut on top of the valve. May be tight but soak it with some wd 40. It’s only a rubber washer inside.

[@TheEverydayShopperReview]

Hey there. Thanks for the video but that shark bite is a nightmare waiting to happen, especially if you are in an area of the country where that spigot will freeze. Please change that properly without the shark bite. That spigot under pressure will test that shark bite and the pressure every time you shut off and turn on the faucet will make it explode off one day.

[@ThomasEpps88]

There is a 95% chance that the shark bite did not seat all the way on that copper pipe with all the movement in that pipe you definitely would have had to have something on the other side holding that pipe to keep it from pushing back inside the wall while pushing in that sharkbite

[@thomasdragosr.841]

I was waiting for that pipe to pull back inside the wall when he cut it...

[@AZ-zn3ru]

I was wondering why he didn’t clamp it from the start. He’s definitely just a DYI-er

[@geralddeitz9169]

He only had about 1/2" showing and it moved inward more than you'd need to even get a connection. The video went from him barely sending 1/4" in on the pipe to it installed. Didn't show actual installation! Fake

[@bristleconepinus2378]

I was thinking he might tap a wooden wedge in the penetration to immobilize the pipe while fitting the faucet...and what about some masonry screws into the brick to immobilize the whole thing?

[@Popclone]

[@erikfedderly5587]

Who was on the inside holding the pipe??? There is no way that shark bite went on without resistance on the pipe.

[@mark03061956]

The way to do that in a cold climate is to heat the valve stem and washer with a torch, twist it off. Clean the pipe end with flux while it's hot, then sweat-solder on a threaded adapter that allows using a silcock that threads into it. Push the pipe with the soldered-on adapter as far back into the brick as it will go and wedge it in, or use foam to fill the gaps and stick it in there. Then thread in a ball-type silcock valve, using teflon tape on the threads. Not quite so pretty as the shark-bite one but so easy to replace if/when the time comes - put an adjustable wrench on the adapter, twist off the damaged silcock, thread in another one. That's a true 5-minute job.

[@mark03061956]

..meant to say, remove the stem and washer and heat the old valve's body with a torch....

[@dans4270]

Well at least we all know how NOT to do it 🤦🏿‍♂️

thanks god, you just confirmed my assumption. I know nothing about plumbing but i was "Ewwww! It doesn't look that good! One winter and this installation will break and i'll end up with more problems!". I think i'll stick to other video showing the proper way, with an Anti-Freeze Wall faucet which is long enough to get inside the house.

That white plastic circle on a shark bite is only needed if you use it on plastic pipe. It's helps keep the plastic pex pipe from deforming. When using a shark bit on copper pipe always remove that white pice of plastic. It will mess you up every time buy Catching on the inside of the cooper pipe. I am a master plumber and have used over a thousand shark bites. This is what makes a shark bit fail time and time again.

[@ericmick6679]

One you should have put silicone in hole and around faucet cover to keep bugs out. And I would have sealed the inside where it comes trough in basement. Tks

[@pn3940]

that new faucet just got pushed in and it held tight? what force is holding them together?

[@countrifiedjose7537]

If you are going to use a sharkbite fitting, get the deburring tool. It cleans up the sharp edges of the cut so you don't damage the o-ring and also it let's you know where to mark your pipe so you know if the pipe is all the way in the valve/fitting. Clean up the inside of the pipe also so there are no sharp ends.

[@geralddeitz9169]

And wrap pipe with teflon tape before installing faucet

[@omarcarrillos2727]

[@anthonysaintpaul652]

You just made your life miserable the next time you have an issue with that shark bite, which appears to be recessed into the base of that spigot. It will not be easy to remove this shark bite spigot/combo unless you cut the pipe again! Why not sweat the spigot off (no cutting) and solder a male threaded adapter to the pipe and use a threaded female spigot. The next time you feel you want to replace it, you can just unscrew it with two wrenches. Life would then be so much easier for you and the next person who buys the house. It would be a win win! Do it right!

Are shark bites rated for Winter subzero climate? Will the plastic crack over Winter when you turn it on in the Spring?

[@icqtrinity]

Very helpful, thank you.👍

[@ravikarashiravanthe7759]

This can be done. You have to cut the piping inside the house with enough space to work with. Then insert the SharkBite hose bib with more than enough PEX piping attached to it. Complete the connection inside the house. I have done it with ease.

[@raulgutierrez5920]

!Cut the pipe with the grinder you leave more space to put regular hose bibb on and use you torch!!!🤔🧠👍

[@CCW-wg8ds]

How do you get a grinder behind the spigot. Acctually a hacksaw with a new blade. Will get closer. Also put a visegrip on the pipe next to the wall. That way the pipe will not go back into the wall. ,

[@noodlegawd]

If you have to pull the pipe out of the wall a bit to get a long enough piece to to work with, how do you keep it from just pushing back in when you try to attach the new faucet? Is there some kind of flat clamp you can attach to the pipe to keep it in place? I guess you could use locking pliers, but they might be too thick.

[@skaizun]

Get someone to hold/push the pipe from the inside. In my case, both the front and back faucets of my 60+ year old house are accessible from the inside via the kitchen sink (back yard) and a clever "door" over a hole in the drywall inside the main entrance closet (front yard). If I were to do it, myself, I'd attach a clamp or vice-grip wrench or bolster the pipe with a piece of wood against a wall, stud, or other pipe (put a cotton towel around the pipe to protect it from the clamp/wrench). In some cases, the only access may be through the inside pipes in your basement or crawlspace.

[@jnap0210]

What size screw do u use to fasten it?

[@ojaihandydan]

I've used shark bite many times but don't see how the stem was long enough to pop in. But if it did, and it's a non freeze environment, that would work. But I'd definitely fill in the gaps with foam and secure with blue screws

[@CaptainTee]

In this case i would of gone with soldering since that would allow you to keep the extra length in the pipe, would of also insulated the hole. And as others have said there is no way that sharkbite went on without you being able to hold the other end of the pipe. Hopefully this video doesn't mislead too many people.

[@_1ben]

if for some unforeseen reason you can not get a full shut off , stab the shark bite valve open the valve fully this will help with the installation with little resistance , second i would use a hack saw instead of the cutter as it will give you more pipe to stab your shark bite fitting, and third give a try to unscrew the old fitting using a back up or another wrench or tool to hold the pipe still so it will not turn or bust as you try to unscrew the old valve this is very important, bigger wrenches give better leverage , be careful , thank you for sharing your video

[@TheOne610]

It's probably the rest of the water draining from what is sitting in the rest of the plumbing lines (line leading to the bathroom etc,) they are all interconnected.

[@geralddeitz9169]

What I see is a copper pipe that will push back into the house. You would need to hold the pipe for that type of connector to be pushed on tightly. Why didn't you show how you held the pipe while installing the fitting? You went from it sticking out if 1/2" to it instalked. Either you has someone under the house pushing out on the pipe or using a tool to hold it on the outside. I don't see it going on from your video with how much it moved inward! Please explain and show in a video. Just my 3 cents

[@smhaack63]

Wish I knew more in detail, what you mean. I hired someone to do it and still leaking. He was a plumber/handyman, if it was so easy then why couldn’t he do it right? 😖

[@skaizun]

Sometimes, it depends on the quality of the faucet. Shark Bite products are, usually, very good, but, improper manufacture or plumber/handyman installment may have damaged the interior "ball" valve (hopefully, it isn't leaking inside your home!). As an example, I attached splitters (allows two hoses to be attached to the one faucet) on my outside faucets at two different times. A cheap, plastic, one, worked great one summer, and failed the next (the plastic ball valve must have broken during the winter), while an expensive bronze ball valve hasn't failed in years. However, water pressure is surprisingly strong, and may force its way through even the best-made faucet valves, in which case, a professional plumber may be your only hope (est. $200).
