HOW TO MAKE A SHARKBITE 2XL CONNECTION
1. Cut copper, CPVC or PEX using a quality tuber or
pipe cutter with a sharp blade.
2. Remove burrs and ensure pipe surface is free of
scratches and any debris. It is critical that pipe be
marked with the correct insertion depth as listed
below:
1-1/4" Pipe Insertion Depth = 2"
1-1/2" Pipe Insertion Depth = 2-1/4"
2" Pipe Insertion Depth = 2-1/2"
3. Align pipe with the fitting, insert pipe while
rotating either pipe or fitting.
4. SharkBite 2XL PEX Stiffener must be inserted into
PEX pipe prior to fitting.
Connection is complete when pipe is fully inserted
with depth insertion marked on pipe is still visible
at the head of the fitting
