Disconnecting a Joint
Disconnection of the joint can only occur by using either the SharkBite
®
disassembly
clip or the SharkBite
®
disconnecting fork tool. By applying pressure to the release collar
with the clip or the fork tool, the grab ring teeth are splayed. This action releases the tube,
allowing it to be removed from the fitting.
1. Place the SharkBite
®
disassembly clip around the tube with the non-branded face
against the release collar. If using the SharkBite fork tool, place the forks around
the fitting assembly. The fork end with the SharkBite brand logo should be
positioned around the tube and the other end around the neck of the fitting.
2. Push the clip against the release collar and pull the tube with a twisting action to
release the tube. If using the SharkBite
®
fork tool, squeeze the tool with one
hand and pull the tube with a twisting action to release the tube.
3. Check the fitting and tube end for damage. The fitting should be free of damage
and foreign objects. The tubing should be free of damage and marks on the
outside diameter. If the tubing is damaged or marked, then cut and use a new
section of tubing.
