K L Contractor Plumbing Inc. has published a new blog post that addresses a common plumbing topic many homeowners and professionals often search about: the reliability of SharkBite fittings. The blog, titled “Are SharkBite Fittings Reliable? A Comprehensive Analysis,” is now live on the company’s official website. The blog aims to provide clear, honest information that helps readers understand where these fittings perform well and where they may fall short.
SharkBite fittings are a type of push-to-connect fitting used in plumbing repairs and installations. These fittings allow pipes to connect without soldering, gluing, or threading. The blog explains that the fittings can be used with copper, PEX, CPVC, and other approved types of pipe. Their convenience has made them popular with both professionals and DIY homeowners, but many people still question whether they provide a secure and lasting seal. The new article helps answer that question based on actual use cases and code approvals.
Alex Laldin, Marketing Director for K L Contractor Plumbing Inc, said the goal of the blog is to remove confusion and share practical information. “People want to know if these fittings will hold up,” Laldin said. “We’re not here to sell a product. We’re here to explain how it works, when it works well, and when you might want to consider other options. This is the kind of content we believe people actually need.” He added that many customers ask this same question during service calls, and the company saw a need to put the answer in writing in a way that’s easy to understand.
The blog breaks the subject down into several sections. It starts by explaining how SharkBite fittings function. Inside the fitting, a stainless steel grab ring and a rubber O-ring work together to grip and seal the pipe. This design allows for a quick connection without special tools. The fitting can also be removed and reused with a special disconnect clip, which makes them helpful in temporary repairs and remodeling.
Next, the post looks at where SharkBite fittings are most useful. The article explains they are good for fast repairs, limited-space installations, and temporary fixes where a soldered connection is not practical. However, the blog also points out that many professionals do not rely on these fittings for long-term solutions hidden behind walls or buried underground. These areas often require fittings that are secured using more permanent methods. The article gives examples where the use of SharkBite fittings might lead to failures if the pipe is not fully inserted, if the cut is rough, or if the pipe has debris that interferes with the seal.
In addition to outlining use cases, the blog addresses common concerns. Some people believe that SharkBite fittings are prone to leaks. The article responds by pointing out that when installed properly, the fittings are tested to perform well and are approved by national plumbing codes. However, the post warns that mistakes during installation, such as failing to measure insertion depth or using damaged pipe, can cause problems. Laldin explained, “It’s not about whether the product works. It’s about whether it’s used the right way. That’s true with almost anything in plumbing.”
The blog also stresses that local code requirements may affect whether these fittings are allowed in certain installations. Readers are advised to always check with their local building department or ask a licensed plumber. The company uses this blog as another step in its focus on educating customers and helping them avoid costly mistakes. “Information is power,” said Laldin. “We want people to feel confident whether they’re doing the work themselves or hiring someone else. If something goes wrong, water damage isn’t cheap. This blog can help people decide if they’re using the right solution for the right situation.”
K L Contractor Plumbing Inc. has a long history of offering clear answers to common plumbing questions.
