Push-Fit for Copper Tube
(9/12/2005)

Crane Copper Tube has developed a unique push-fit joining system for copper tube called SharkBite.
SharkBite fittings simply push onto the prepared copper tube end. An internal O-ring provides a high pressure, watertight seal, while the SharkBite teeth retain the tube. They are fully self-contained with no additional components to fit or adjust and are available to cater for most standard connection requirements for copper tubes up to 1” diameter.
The result is a super-fast installation and a reliable high-pressure watertight seal – all the benefits of copper tubing with the added convenience.
Here’s why SharkBite is a bite ahead of its competition:
• Watermark approved: SharkBite fittings have received Watermark approval No:LN21048 for use with hot and cold potable water applications with working pressure of up to 1600kPa. • Rotatable Joint: SharkBite fittings allow complete freedom to rotate the tube within the fitting, which is great for tight spaces and allows you to adjust angles after installation. • Removable: SharkBite fittings can be easily removed with a squeeze of the demount tongs. The tool slides over the fitting, then a squeeze depresses the demount ring, releasing the teeth and allowing the tube to be withdrawn. • Reusable: SharkBite fittings can be reused. It is important to prevent internal contamination of the O-ring during storage and reuse. • Full flow fittings: SharkBite fittings maintain the full bore of the tube. • One piece fitting: SharkBite fittings are fully self-contained with no additional components to fit or adjust. • Quality Australian Made: SharkBite fittings are manufactured in Australia using durable, corrosion resistant DR brass. • Guaranteed for 25 years: SharkBite fittings are guaranteed against faulty materials and manufacture for 25 years. • Extensive range: SharkBite fittings are available to cater for most standard connection requirements for ˝”, ľ” and 1” (DN15, DN20 and DN25) copper tube installations. • Industry standard: SharkBite fittings are suitable for use with Type A, B and C industry standard tube sizes, not a unique brand size. Completely compatible with existing copper installations.
