No soldering required and I promise anyone can do this.

There’s nothing worse than a nasty water leak….which can lead to damaged drywall, mold, etc.

Having shut off valves that actually WORK can help prevent this bad stuff from happening.

I’m remodeling a bathroom at one of my rentals and wanted to share how I installed a pair of SharkBite shutoff valves in less than 9 minutes.

It might take you longer or shorter.

Point is this, you can do yourself and save a boat load of money.

The first step is turn off the water at your water main.

Drain your homes water at the lowest point, usually a laundry tub or outdoor spigot.

Cut your copper pipes with an AutoCut tool, I love this because it’s small and fits in tight spaces.

Deburr the inside of copper pipe with either a deburring tool or utility knife.

Sand down the edge of the copper and first 1 inch using emery cloth or a pipe tool.

Place the SharkBite depth tool on your pipe and make a mark 1 inch in from the edge.

Slide the SharkBite water shut off valve onto your pipe and PRESTO, you’re done.
