.In my case the knuckle-head that built this place didn't bother to put a shut-off under a single fixture in the whole house!!! I spent a whole day cutting off pipe and installing shut-off valves after I moved in.

I have a shut off valve on the hot and cold water lines both.
That way if I have to make a repair on one line I'm not out of water on the other line.

Compression Fittings
A nice thing about the Shark Bite fittings is they are easy to take apart for making plumbing repairs and replacements without the problems being discussed here concerning compression fittings.
Anybody here used the Shark Bite system?

[QUOTE=kthompson;150625] lbrown, what can you tell us about them:
1*where do you find them,
2*any special tools
3* size/type of tubing do they fit? ,
4*price[/QUOTE]
I've never used Shark Bite products before but I'm going to give them a try shortly.
I have to replace some old steel rusty plumbing that's in areas that would be hard to reach and use wrenches in.
I am going with Shark Bite Fittings due to the fact that no wrenches are need as all you do is slip the tubing into them.
Hopefully that will make a tough job much easier.
1*I got them today at a local plumbing and electrical place that is a supplier to some of our plumbing and electrical dealers and contractors.
They also sell to the public such as my self.
2*Just one that I know of ;a small plastic gadget that is used to release the fitting if you need or want to take things apart.
They were out of them but told me they should have some of them in next week.
3* it's my understanding I/2 and 3/8 inch of any kind of plastic or copper flexible tubing / pipe in those diameters.
4*Here is the list for the 1/2'' fittings I got today.
TEE = $8.65
Straight Connector = $4.35
Reducing Connector = $5.35
