Simple

Doesn’t fit dielectric fitting
Would Not RecommendProduct looks nice but does not fit on the dielectric heat trap threads. The female fitting on the shark bite hose is to shallow to catch and thread on the heat traps. This is on a brand new hot water heater with factory preinstalled dielectric heat traps which do not thread on. I could not use this product

The product was exactly what I needed. I had a limited amount of space to connect water heater to inlet line. The SharkBite was perfect length with cutoff.

Water heater shark bite

Truly Amazing
Would RecommendBest thing I ever used and I've installed a lot of hot water tanks.After hooking up the new tank with these you will never have to do plumbing again when installing a new tank. Just unscrew these braided connectors from the old tank and slide the new tank into place and screw the connectors back 9on the new tank.
