WHY SHARKBITE 2XL?
 Quick Connect:
o No tools, soldering, clamps, unions or glue required. Cut pipe square, de-burr to remove rough
edges/debris, mark the pipe for correct depth and push to get a pressure ready connection every time.
 Quick Disconnect:
o Disconnect in seconds by sliding the De-Mount Tool down the pipe to engage the demount lugs and
rotate clockwise to lock the open position leaving both hands free, you can now remove the pipe.
 SAFE-Recessed Release Collar:
o Commercial SharkBite require a special Demount Tool and cannot be accidentally
disconnected/released.
 Extensive Range Including Slip Feature on Couplings and Tee’s:
o When repairing or tapping into existing pipe with “Push-Fittings” you must be able to either move the
fitting or the pipe to ensure the pipe is engaged fully into the fitting. With rigid pipe like copper the only
way with “Push-Fittings” is to have a SLIP feature to allow easy installation when tapping into existing
pipe.
 Easy Installation:
o Unlike the tool intensive connection methods there is NO need to send multiple fitters to a job,
SharkBite 2XL has been designed to be installed or removed by one person. All fittings are lubricated for
easy connection and by fitting the De-Mount Tool before engaging the pipe the force required can be
reduced further. With the De-Mount Tool locked on you also have hands free disconnection. WET OR
DRY: No waiting for copper tube to dry before soldering or glue to cure, SharkBite makes an instant
connection in seconds.
 No Tools:
o Unlike alterative tool intensive connections systems, SharkBite has no special tooling required for
installation.
 No Time:
o Fastest connection - CUT-PUSH-DONE.
o Easy access to small or tight places.
o No Flame - Does not require fire permit or fire marshal.
 No Waste:
o Should you make an error or simply want to change your installation, no problem for SharkBite. Simply
remove and re-use. (Fittings used for repeated testing must not be used in any permanent application).
 Fittings Cannot be Disassembled:
o SharkBite 2XL Fittings are factory assembled and components cannot be removed.
 Long Pipe Engagement:
o Provides pipe support against lateral pipe forces.
 Lead Free (LF) Dezincifcation Resistance (DZR) Brass:
o Exceeds current no lead legislation - AB1953 or NSF372. Suitable for underground installation subject to
local code authorites/inspectors. Dezincification properties (DZR) exceed ISO6509 and NSF-14.
 Environmentally Friendly:
o Remove and re-use fittings, no need to be scrapped. No heat is required for installation.
