Ratings & Reviews for SharkBite Quarter turn ball valve Push-to-connect Washing machine Outlet Box

Glueless

No glue is great it was a little hard to get the hole punched for the drain

Easy to install easy to use

Easy to install easy to use. Sharkbite is so easy. Only negative is the price right now everything is over priced.

very cheaply made for the price

Knock out plugs do not come out clean and the plastic is very thin and flimsy. Because of this one of the valves is not seated properly and sits crooked in the fixture. The instructions on how to reconfigure the valves are unclear and had to google several videos to finally see how to remove them to move to a different position. the face plate did not sit flush to the wall so I used silicon to help hold it in pace, the plastic is so thin the silicone I used to fix the plate to the wall shows ...

Easy to use

How easy it was to use to replace the old one that was broken.

Bad news from Shark Bite

Valves assembled assuming side drain, so you have to unscrew the valves and flip the box to have a center drain (standard). The knock outs are hard to remove without damaging the plastic, so you end up with a valve that is in a "rounded" hole and nothing to really hold the valve in place. The drain on the center side is 2" instead of the standard 1 1/2" (on the preassembled side) so you have to install an adapter for the drain as well. Ideally a better quality plastic, valves left unassembled...

Can't split a line

New dryers need a cold water line for a steam cycle. The adapter from the dryer provided is female, the outlet on the box is female. A 3/4th male adapter is too large. There isn't enough room under the nipple for the adapter to turn for tightening.

Very cheap box, expected more from the SharkBite.

There definitely was not very many options when using Pex for this application, so I decided to try this product. The valves are of an ok quality for a ball valve, I expect they'll be troublesome after a few years. The box is the cheapest plastic they could have chosen, I'm my opinion. the box flexes easily, making applying any torque to the hoses during their attachment next to impossible. while following the directions to change the placement of the valves caused damage to the housing, cracks ...

I purchased this item to replace the aging outlet box in our laundry room as part of a larger renovation project. I am an occasional DIYer with no plumbing skills to speak of, so the prospect of making supply-line connections without soldering or crimping was quite appealing. I was able to remove the old box and install the new one in an afternoon. The box works as expected and looks great. It seems the primary complaint noted by other reviewers is that the box ships preconfigured for a left- o...

Buy Oatey

As has been mentioned previously, the knockouts for the drain pipe doesn't work. I made the mistake of believing the directions. If I had it to do over I would use a 1 1/2" drill saw to cut out the drain hole. Flimsy plastic box. Now I wonder about other Sharkbite products.

Quick and easy

everything lined up nicely, cleaned up the old copper pipes, slipped on the Sharkbites, tightened the jam nuts, good to go.
