How reliable are rubber seals in shark bite fittings

These work great however some are not intended for hot water use and the fitting tend to rotate on the valve applacations. great for fireless repairs

very reliable...just make sure whatever type of tubing you are using is nice and smooth after it is cut. If there is any burrs or rough edges it might leak.

I have had mine running since the day I received it and have never had a bit of problem with the O-ring seals!!! It doesn't leak at all!! They are tight and can be a little hard to get back on at times but I like the way the barrels work!!!

The diameter and thread size have been the same on the three different Delta heads I've used this hose on. The only difference is the length of the connection but hose has always made a snug fit. I do still use teflon tape to help the seal but I've had no leaks. I do think it would replace the hose just fine but I'm not an expert.

yes,as long as you press the end of metal track after installing rubber seals in them.thks

I can only guess, but I think it's a pretty good one. When I removed the old red seal, it was in extremely poor condition. The seal material was stretched out of shape, and was 'wavy' (no longer flat).I gently cleaned each surface that the new yellow seal would be in contact with, using a SOS soap pad. That removed any small pieces of the old red seal that could cause a new leak, and removed the sticky residue from the old decomposed red seal. It's been 2 months, and so far, it works perfectly.I hope this helps. Bob

I read the same reviews but had no problem at all with the tank to base seal. No special tools. Of course, just don't 'power tighten' the bolts - or you'll crack the porcelain. I installed two of these appliances in my FL home with no problem. I used the new rubber floor seal (rather than the wax) and was VERY pleased. Well worth the additional couple of bucks. Love the toilets - they work every bit as advertised. Take your time, follow the instructions and you should have no problems. Good luck.

Should not be a problem on any outside gasket or seals. Be sure to use in a very well ventilated area when using and always use gloves. I would not use on any interior items because of the fumes. It works very well on rubber of all kinds but has to be administered carefully.

Mine is about two years old and has been used pretty heavily without the seals breaking down as yet! I hope your experience is not about to happen to me!I watched the YouTube disassembly video, which is quite well detailed, but unless you are mechanically adept and have the special tools needed, in hand, I think you might have trouble doing the job. You will also need to order the replacement kit from Crossman. I would certainly check to see if Crossman would handle the repair and what their charge would be before deciding what to do!!

Threads measure 1.6" with dial calipers; 1 5/8" hole would be nice and snug. Rubber gasket would accommodate a slightly larger hole before I'd be concerned with sealing.

I have used mine for several weeks and have had no problem with the gasket...or any of the other parts.

I wouldn't trust it. I've yet to try it honestly but the seals didn't look completely sealed on mine.

SharkBite will connect OD controlled copper, CPVC, or PEX pipe. I've used it on the dreaded polybutylene.

There is a minor seal below the blade. And of course the bottom of the blade mechanism has a rubber gasket. I have used it hundreds of times and never found a problem. I use it for Smoothees, Bar Drinks, etc.

Hi: I have no idea, I returned it the next day. It is the worse Shark product I ever owned and I do have a few of them.

yes that is what I have one think keep in mind be sure when yo0u order you know your model number IO have 2 of them a life away and a professional and parts are not interchangeable Shark doe3s not even make the attachments exchange from one to the other. good marketing makes you have to buy more parts if they wear out??

No problem with rubber seal. I live in a very windy and sandy place and every couple months I have to take it apart to clean behind outside lens. I once broke the belt clip getting out of the car and the service getting it replaced was something out of the 70's. Very friendly fast and free. I would buy another one any time.

From the diagram, it might work; they appear to be multipurpose from their shape; however, the two different Shark models I have require specific shapes and adhesives customized to the particular model, singularly. For example, the Shark pads for one model don't work for the other. I would call the company to identify the model number and see if these transfer in terms of Utility.
