I'm having a hard time with a piece of copper pipe I've been trying to solder in a water line as a splice due to water trickling in from the main valve by the water meter. The valve just won't close tight enough to stop a small trickle of water still coming through the lines. I've tried the bread trick and that didn't work either. My wife talked to the plumber that does work for her boss and he said he would just go with the Sharkbite connectors. Never heard of them until now. Anyone here ever used the Sharkbite pipe fittings? If so, how well did they work?
