SHARKBITE SLIP PRODUCTS Slip fittings simplify repair by doing the job that two couplings and extra pipe would do. Only one end of the coupling has a stop, allowing the other end to slide freely over the end of a pipe.
SHARKBITE SLIP PRODUCTS In addition to slip coupling and tees, we also have slip ball valves and slip pressure regulators available to ease installation woes. To see an installation video on installing a slip fitting, please visit: http://www.youtube.
