SHARKBITE SLIP PRODUCTS
Slip fittings simplify repair by doing the job that two couplings and extra pipe would do. Only one end of the coupling has
a stop, allowing the other end to slide freely over the end of a pipe. The fitting can be released with a disconnect tool
and slid back onto the other end of the pipe for successful leak repair.
Cut out the section of the pipe needing repair (no more
than 2” in length).
Using the SharkBite Deburring & Depth Gauge, clean the
edges of the copper pipe. Use the gauge to mark the
proper insertion depth on the pipe.
On the side of the fitting marked “SLIP END,” slide the
copper pipe into the fitting until it bottoms out.
Place the SharkBite Disconnect Clip on the copper pipe,
on the same side as the “SLIP END.” As you are pressing
the clip to release the fitting, slide the SharkBite fitting to
meet the other copper pipe.
Continue to slide the fitting until the non-slip end bottoms
out. Ensure the fitting lines up with the mark you made.
Also ensure the Slip End of the fitting has not proceeded
past the depth mark you originally made.
