SHARKBITE FOR CONCEALED AREAS
SharkBite fittings can be utilized in underground applications and as manufactured joints without access
panels, per IAPMO Certificate of Listing File No. 4630.
If burying SharkBite, it is recommended:
Fitting should be wrapped with an impervious material, chloride-free tape or tightly wrapped and sealed
insulation works well to prevent direct contact with the backfill. Backfill should be free of rocks, debris or any
sharp objects that may cause damage through impact or abrasion.
It is also recommended to pressure test the system for 24 hours before closing up any inaccessible location.
