SharkBite Max Shower/Tub Installation Kit is the fastest and easiest way to install your new bath fixtures to your existing pipes. The kit includes the newly designed 1/2 in. SharkBite Max Fittings (Female Adapters, Female Elbow and Female Drop Ear Elbows) with disconnect clip, which delivers more strength and durability with a higher 400 PSI pressure rating. SharkBite Max connectors do not require a PEX tube liner and the re-engineered body allows you to insert the pipe using less force and greater ease making installs even easier. No soldering, clamps, unions, glue or special tools required. After inserting into the pipe, stainless steel teeth bite down and grip the pipe tightly while a specially formulated O-ring compresses around the pipe to create a watertight seal. (SharkBite push-to-connect fittings are the fastest when compared to other conventual plumbing methods. All other comparisons relate to first generation SharkBite push-to-connect products).
