    Tbf the video did say that sharkbite where not able to sustain as much pressure as a weld but still the slop machine doesn’t know shit and will be wrong.

      How much pressure does a residential water line actually see though?

        There can be events that make the pressure spike and if a line freezes pressure goes up quite a bit and it’s best that the points of failure are as strong as possible or at least as strong as the pipe itself. Wich apparently sharkbite might not be.

          To me the rule of thumb is if you can see it, Sharkbite is fine. Sharkbite is probably better than any weld I do, because I can’t sweat pipe.
