I was intimidated by PEX pipe especially the $250 tool I thought was required to crimp it. These products work perfectly. I cut the pipe with PVC cutters, de-burred the end, and marked an inch from the end. They snapped right on and no leaks.

I bought and used the de-burring tool. Probably not necessary but I was, as stated, intimidated.

Simple little valve that fixed hot water from
backflowing into my cold water system. I
love sharkbite fittings!

The product is as claimed. Very easy to use and no leaks. Though it is a little pricy, but worth it. I will buy from them if I have plumb works in the future.

Sorry, less one-star, as I haven't actually installed yet because I'm intending to use for emergency sprinkler line valve failure combo. If you've ever attempted to solder a line that is still leaking even a little water, you know what I mean! Even pros will be cussing. Conversely, these Sharkbite products can be replaced in dry or wet conditions and pulled on/off multiple times with special $1.5 adapter. Most work with either copper, PEX or CPVC. Hence expensive in comparison to regular copper straight, T's, or elbows but worth it for certain points of possible failure around the house. For NEW fresh-water installs though, suggest just straight copper fittings or PEX, as much cheaper. All Sharkbites connectors are cool and easy to use with PEX or copper, except for the copper-only 4-inch slip couplers, unless planning to re-release with vice-clamp and mule!

Needed this for vertical installation on home recirculating line. Installed in about a minute. Didn't leak and seems to be preventing back flow into recirc line. Overall good experience.
