David,
I am not familiar with this. Are you referring to Shark Bite fittings, or some other brand of fittings? Thanks, Tom _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David W Wood Sent: Saturday, November 22, 2008 10:51 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [BlindHandyMan] Shark Bights copper connectors I now use push fit fittings where possible. About the same price here as compression ones. Much easier and quicker to use.

You can remove them should you need to and you can always buy replacement ferrules for pennies if damaged when removing or otherwise handling the fittings. They are fairly expensive but usually you don't use many. These days you can usually even buy fittings like shut-off valves and stop cocks which attach by compression fitting. They are very secure and really very forgiving. I haven't used the 'T' or elbow fittings but now I really like the stop cocks. ----- Original Message ----- From: Tom Hodges To: blindhandyman@ <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, November 22, 2008 10:18 AM Subject: RE: [BlindHandyMan] Shark Bights copper connectors Bob, Thank you so much for the information. I will research this on the Internet to find out if they have other fittings, such as T's, elbows, etc. This could sure save me a lot of time and expense (not to mention headache) if they work well.

One is from Lowes and the other from Home Depot. You do have to support them and I had the hardest time believing they would actually seal. But they do, and work great. All you do is take 2 ends of copper you want to join, clean the burs off, and slide them together. If you remember those Chinese handcuffs we all had as kids? Your fingers went in really easy but the harder you pulled to get them apart the more it bit into your fingers. Just slide the piece on 1 of the ends and then put the piece over the other pipe. Pull the pipes towards each other and your done. It takes a special tool to get them back apart. The tools come in a pack of 3 for about 2 dollars so you know it isn't much. It's a plastic piece cut to fit in the slot on the Shark Bight and you just pull it towards the pipe and it opens back up. Don't know if you can reuse it after taking it back apart. I was a chicken once it came back apart and just put on a new one. I can tell you it takes no special skills and compared to running a torch inside a wall, there is a lot less to worry about too. Both stores have them in the plumbing area and I'm not remembering the price right now. Seems to me it was between 3 and 4 dollars. Well worth it if you aren't comfortable soldering.
