Sharbites. Break. Grounds.
I think in England or France they used sharkbites way before they had them in the USA. They're rated for 20 years (I think) But I believe they could last 25-30
Do sharkbites break the electrical continuity? I'd rather sweat fittings on my main
Maybe it's just me but you all show women. Why ?
Do your best and sharkbite the rest!! Hack job plumbing.
My dude was in a hurry to finish it that he used sharkbites and no bypass.
But honestly, did anyone else have to rewatch this to see what the point of the second wrench was??? Lol I don't think the second wrench did a thing.
