Specification
The tube shall be inserted into the SharkBite PTC Fitting in the first
stage through a release collar and then through a stainless-steel
grab ring. The grab ring has teeth that open out and grip onto the
tube. At the second stage the tube shall be pushed through an O-
ring protector which aligns the pipe. A specially formulated EPDM
O-ring shall be compressed between the wall of the fitting and the
tube before the end of the tube reaches the tube stop. Only when
the pipe has passed through the O-ring and reached the pipe stop
shall a secure joint be created. The fitting shall be a SharkBite PTC
Fitting.
