And with a wide range of fittings, manifolds, regulator, thermostatic, and ball valves available, the SharkBite barb connection system is perfect for your next plumbing project. Features: Broad line of fittings, manifolds, regulator, thermostatic and ball valves: A typical barb system offers the lowest material cost CLAMP ring connections (see Installation Guide for details): The time saving clamp rings and tool offer reduced equipment cost, one tool clamps all sizes and the necessity to check each fitting ring with a go/no-go gauge is eliminated CRIMP ring connections (see Installation Guide for details): Copper crimp rings and the heavy duty tool with interchangeable jaws does not require calibration and allows each joint to be checked with a go/no-go gauge Specification: Using the PEX plastic tubing cutters to cut the tubing to length, making sure that you have a good square cut. Slide the correct size Sharkbite clamp or crimp ring over the tube approximately 2″ past the end of the tubing. Push the tubing onto the Sharkbite barbed fitting until it touches the fitting shoulder. Position the clamp or crimp ring 1/8″-1/4″ from the end of the tube. When making clamp connections, position the open jaws of the Clamp Tool over the raised tabs of the Clamp ring and squeeze. Verify the connection is secure by visually checking the clamp tab. Make Crimp connections by placing the jaws of the Crimp Tool over the copper crimp ring and squeezing until the jaws close completely. Verify that the connection is secure using the go/no-go gauge.
