DISCONNECTING A FITTING
With the Disconnect Clip
1. Place the SharkBite disconnect clip around
the tube with the non-branded side against
the release collar.
2. Push the clip against the release collar and
pull the tube with a twisting action to release
the tube.
With Disconnect Tongs
1. Place the teeth around the fitting assembly.
The fork end with the SharkBite brand logo
should be positioned around the tube and the
other end around the neck of the fitting.
2. Squeeze the tool with one hand and pull the
tube with a twisting action with the other
hand to release the tube.
Check the fitting and tube end for damage. The
fitting and tubing should be free of damage,
foreign objects and marks on the outside
diameter. If the tubing is damaged or marked,
then cut and use a new section of tubing.
