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
