Push-Fit 1/2" Style Push to Connect Lead-Free Brass Coupling Bag of 10 / brass / 0.5

For the most part, they "look" fine, but, a couple of issues:1. the plastic inserts are very cheap; no where near the thickness and quality of name brand.2. I installed one on the vertical riser for a shower (to make life easier the next time the shower valve gets replaced). This is, essentially, a no-pressure connection. Yet it drips after the shower has been turned off. I've used the name brand many times over in many (pressurized) applications and never had a problem -so I doubt it's installer error; I checked it over a couple times and I'm sure it's in-place correctly.Given the slight leak on a zero pressure connection, I'm hesitant to use these. I'm going to replace with a different one from the same set of 10; just to see if I have a bad one. However, I can't help but feel, even if the 2nd one does not leak, that I'm willing to trust it behind a wall that get's closed up.I'll update after the replacement....

These are obviously shark bite knock offs. They look very similar in form and function, however I found that the quality is much lower on the plastic sleeves that insert into the pipe you are coupling. Shark bite has much stronger and durable plastic pieces - allowing you to insert and remove the shark bite with good success. The plastic pieces on these push fittings are much thinner, and are liable to bind up and get crushed when you are inserting into a pipe. This will require you to restart with another fitting.The plastic quality also affects their re-usability. Removing these fittings generally causes the plastic inserts to be damaged.However, shark bites are ~ $9 / fitting at big box stores, so losing a few of these on accident still has much greater value.

Wonderful these saved me. In the process of redoing entire plumbing because these carpenters took all my money and left us with nothing. Made more problems worse than what I hired them for. So with no water no bathroom or walls its been so stressful and hard. But these have saved me. I'm almost done with plumbing and couldnt have done it without these products and this company that made affordable for me. I thought I bought them for .50 cents cheaper each though the first time. Ive reordered again, but am beyond happy. Thank you

They seem to be well made but each package includes 2 plastic bushings, I think they are probably supposed to slide inside the pipe. But there is no instructions anywhere in the packages. There is nothing that gives you any online link for instructions either. Since this also means there is no instructions on how to take the fitting back off it it leaks, I have not attempted to use the fittings. there was also no contact information whatsoever provided by the seller. So I would say don't waste your money with this seller.

I haven't used this batch yet but they're good quality. These one came with something that none of the others I've used have, a plastic insert I just discovered is used when using the pex hose. Had to research them to find out what they were. I installed a few dozen without and haven't had in problem but I'll use them from now on.

Item was as described and shipped quickly.

These are easy to use and very secure. A simple but extremely cost effective way to connect 1/2" pvc to 1/2" pex. I used these to replace the rats nest of old plumbing underneath our kitchen sink with pex.

A couple would not seal

Similar to Sharkbite original and half the price.Used for PEx pipe connections on outdoor shower. Fittings are easy to remove with the tool ordered. Easy to drain system for winter.
