What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise these water heater connection kits for eliminating soldering and drastically simplifying installation. The push-fit design requires no tools or special skills, allowing DIYers to complete replacements in under an hour. Reviewers consistently highlight leak-free performance, flexible lines for easy routing, and built-in shut-off valves as major advantages over traditional methods. Many describe the fittings as high-quality and durable, with strong repeat purchase intent. A few note that standard lengths may not suit every application, and some find the cost slightly high, though most consider it worthwhile for the time and effort savings.

Rust and Leaks

Would Not Recommend

This set was easy to install, but they only lasted a little less than one year. The stainless steel seems to have rusted from the inside out, and both lines began to leak onto the water heater and on the floor. SharkBite says 2 year warranty, but you have to ship them back yourself for evaluation, no return at the store of purchase.

Still waiting for other parts

Would Not Recommend

Waiting for other parts so I can install. Accompanying parts were supposed to arrive at the same time, and only after I contacted Lowe’s several days after this part arrived, was I notified that the other part was being sent from Texas.
