SharkBite Max 1/2 x 1/4 Inch Compression Angle Stop Valve, Quarter Turn, Push to Connect Brass Plumbing Fitting, PEX Pipe, Copper, CPVC, PE-RT, HDPE, UR23336

These valves when used properly with the PEX cutters, pipe cut end tapering tool and patience give a professional result. It something goes wrong, it’s the operator not the products.

Easy install, no leaks first try. Watch the youtube videos first!

If you thought SharkBites were good, the max are even better. They don't have that plastic sleeve in the middle that tends to get bound up. Super easy, super strong. Used to complete dual water heater install. Easy to mix copper and PEX. Used this to upgrade the 1/4 inch copper lines to my furnaces

I'm not a professional plumber but I do a lot of things around the house for myself and minor plumbing is one of them. If you are working with CPVC or any other material with which SharkBite connectors are compatible and you and have never tried one I recommend it. I have them in several parts of the house with service time ranging from months in the case of this purchase to years for others with zero issues. Any time I have to replace an isolation valve under a sink, refrigerator water supply, toilet, isolation valve before the outside hose pipe valve, etc., this is what I use. In addition to the convenience of the SharkBite, connection the check ball valve is superior to the screw type making this a winning combination for an isolation valve. I do still like the screw type when I want to control water volume like to an outside hose. No fooling around with purple primer and cement unless you have to modify the pipe but regardless I still like using them for the valve. Make your PVC cut as even as possible, firmly press the valve in place to ensure it is fully seated, go do something fun not equal to waiting on cement to cure and the stink to leave the house, done deal.

Was easy to assemble and work great.

Works great

As described, competitive $ to box store

You do not need a lot of hand strength to get this SharkBite valve onto the pipe. A one quarter turn of the ball valve shuts the water off smoothly. A great product that works as expected.

Great product, have used shark bites multiple times and have had no issues, will continue to use when needed

I'f your hooking up an ice maker these sharkbite fittings are the go to product and are the most used by plumbers. The R19 (angled) and R14 (straight) versions are available so have at it and good luck.
