Disconnection of the joint can only occur by using either the SharkBite disconnect clip or the SharkBite disconnect
tongs. By applying pressure to the release collar with the clip or the disconnect tongs, the grab ring teeth are
splayed. This action releases the pipe, allowing it to be removed from the fitting.
1. Place the SharkBite disconnect clip around the
pipe with the non-branded face against the release
collar. If using the SharkBite disconnect tongs, place
the teeth around the fitting assembly. The fork end
with the SharkBite brand logo should be positioned
around the pipe and the other end around the neck
of the fitting.
2. Push the clip against the release collar and pull the
pipe with a twisting action to release the pipe. If
using the SharkBite disconnect tongs, squeeze the
tool with one hand 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, then cut and use a new
section of pipe.
