found my first leaking sharkbite the other day. It was a 1/2" coupling adapting copper to pex on a hot water line. The copper side was fine but the teeth in the sharkbite cut grooves in the outside wall of the pex allowing it to slide out and leak. I could tell from the grooves in the pex that it had been pushed in all the way and it did have the pex insert in it. The pex was straight and not under any strain. Must have been expansion/contraction the caused it to pull out.
ho said it was done about 2 years ago.. anyone else seen this happen?
it was Bow superpex
