A second on Sharkbite. I used them for the first time on a home plumbing project last weekend and they worked perfectly. I had to disassemble some older fittings, which came apart easily even without the special tool (adjustable wrench trick on YouTube). Cut Pex with hacksaw rather than special tool. Re-assembly had no leaks at new or old sharkbite fitting. Learned an important lesson from lots leaks at threaded PVC fittings. Don’t use teflon tape on threaded fittings! Use threadseal compound (Rectorseal). Dave
