does pex fittings work with sharkbite poly pipe?

Well, the shark bite poly pipe is PEX, isn't it? These are made to work with PEX. That is what they are designed for.

Should fit any poly that diameter, I used it on 2 different brands of poly pipe I had on hand.

Pex can be connected to copper using a fitting. I am not quite sure what you mean by repairing leaks on copper pipe. The crimping tool is specifically designed for use with the pex tubing, but as I mentioned, the pex and copper can be connected using a fitting.

I have been using this tool with Sharkbite clamps and Sharkbite tubing with no problems.

No I installed it myself. It went fairly smoothly. You don't need to solder the pipe if you buy shark bite connectors. Just make sure you cut the pipe straight and the shark bites won't leak at all. However, the filter will leak eventually.

Shark Bite connect is for convenience but regular copper fittings should be adequate.

I'm not a plumber, but I would say no. Not without you attaching some sort of fitting that is designed to go from copper to Pex style plumbing. I would use a shark bite type fitting to convert the copper end to pex, and then go from there. Hope that helps!

Polaris makes a stub pipe connector adapter in 1 inch and 1-1/2 inch. It inserts into a straight pipe return that does not have threads. You can then use the male fitting that comes with the Poolskim. You can find out more about it by doing a search on Amazon for Zodiac stub pipe connector.

I use shark bite crimp rings and I don't ream the pex pipe before I use them.

No, sorry this will not fit on any Shark vacs. Shark diameter on their hoses are different than other vacs.

My impression was that they are only for PEX (cross-linked polyethylene). Other plastics might crack. But if you Google it maybe you can get a more solid answer

Yes it will. Your supply is 1/2", I assume 1/2" copper, 1/2" pex, 1/2" cpvc or 1/2" PB. The discharge from the valve is 3/8" compression, which is supply to your faucet. It's perfect. I've used many Shark bite fittings. I would never do my whole house in Shark fittings, due to cost. But, for odds and ends, as your doing it's perfect. Good luck. Any more questions, please get back to me. Done a lot of plumbing over the years and also work in a hardware store.Barry

As I recall it was 3/8". If you take the line to Lowes or Home Depot and show them they should be able to fit you with the right fitting. Mine had 3/8" male threaded on the one end (You have to remove a nut to use it) and 1/2" female copper on the other, so I had to solder a short length of copper line to that end and then I could join it to my 1/2" PEX lines. Hope this helps

yes absolutely you could use 1 inch PEX that's how I plumbed still working great for almost a year

I'm sure you could locate and install appropriate threaded brass fittings to adapt your poly tubing to the Culligan 1" inlet and outlet. The unit is designed for brass/copper 1" threaded fittings, like one would find in a residential house. Try Home Depot, Lowes, local hardware store, etc.

I used with Sharkbite rings from Home Depot and it worked perfect. Can't speak for any other rings for certain, but I believe they all should work.
