Installation
1. Cut the SharkBite PEX Pipe to the desired length. Ensure that the ends are cut square and the outside surface of the tube is free of
damage, foreign objects, cuts, and abrasions.
2. Using the SharkBite Depth and Deburr tool, deburr the tube ends and mark the PEX with the correct insertion depth.
For 1/2" fittings, the pipe insertion depth is 15/16". For 3/4" fittings, the pipe insertion depth is 1-1/8".
3. Push the PEX into the fitting on the manifold until it reaches the depth mark.
4. The connection is now complete. Repeat the process with the remaining connections.
Removal
1. Place the SharkBite disconnect clip around the pipe with the non-branded face against the release collar.
2. Push the clip against the release collar and pull the pipe with a twisting action to release the pipe.
3. Check the fitting and pipe end for damage. The fitting and pipe should be free of damage, foreign objects and marks on the outside
diameter. If the pipe is damaged or marked, cut and use a new section of pipe.
