Q:Can this be used to go from 3/4" galvanized pipe to copper pipe?
by|Jun 5, 2019
2 Answers
Answer This Question

A:  Copper yes, Galvanized no.

by|Jan 21, 2020

    A:  Hello, Unfortunately, brass SharkBite push-to-connect fittings and valves are not suitable for connecting to galvanized pipe. Connecting brass valves to galvanized pipe will cause corrosion due to the dissimilar metals. If you have additional questions please feel free to contact our technical support department at 877-700-4242. Regards

      Answer This Question

      A:  No, because it has a stop

      by|Sep 24, 2019

      A:  You can remove the screw holding the handle and switch it to the other side.

      by|Feb 22, 2023

      A:  No, but the push to connect fitting can be rotated on the pipe after installation. If you have further questions, please contact Customer Service M-F, 8am-5pm at (877) 700-4242.

        Q:Can I use this to go from 3/4in galvanized to PEX?

        Answer This Question

        A:  Yes!

        by|Oct 17, 2018

        A:  Nope. An additional adapter will be needed to convert the 3/4" steel National Pipe Thread Taper (NPT) to a "push to connect" type pipe.

        by|Dec 3, 2019

        A:  Hi Shane, Yes, you can connect the threaded end of the ball valve onto the galvanized pipe and connect the PEX to the PTC side.

            A:  Hi, This fitting only works on Copper Tube Sized pipes (Copper, PEX, and CPVC.) if you are working with PVC, we offer a conversion coupling online http://www.homedepot.com/p/SharkBite-3-4-in-Brass-Push-to-Connect-PVC-IPS-x-CTS-Conversion-Coupling-UIP4016A/206353615?keyword=uip4016a or a 3/4" PVC X 3/4 male pipe thread adapter http://www.homedepot.com/p/SharkBite-3-4-in-Brass-Push-to-Connect-PVC-IPS-x-3-4-in-Male-Pipe-Thread-Adapter-UIP134A/206353553?keyword=uip134a

                Q:Can the handle by switched to the other side? My wall will be too close for the handle to clear. I don't see a sharkbite with a different configuration. I need a sharkbite with female pipe on left, sharkbite on the right and handle on the left side.

                Answer This Question

                A:  One way to adjust to meet your specific needs would be to remove the nut at the top of the valve, remove the handle, place the handle in the position needed, and replace the nut. One issue with this would be: currently the handle has a stop to let you know the valve is completely open/closed. If you place the handle the opposite way, there is no indicator when the valve is open/closed.

                    A:  No, you will need to shut the water off to install this value

                    by|Jan 21, 2020

                      A:  Yes, this will work with some water coming out of the line. Wear swim goggles!

                      by|Apr 10, 2019

                      A:  Yes, the SharkBite end of the valve can be installed when the water cannot be completely shut off. I would recommend opening the valve, making the connection, and then closing the valve.

                      by|Oct 27, 2023

                        A:  Yes, see the detailed review.
