Here is a very quick little video to show you how to remove a sharkbite fitting with the tool or without the tool using an adjustable wrench.
A different way to remove sharkbite fitting without a special tool. This is helpful when you need to release a sharkbite fitting in tight space where the special tool won't fit. A strong zip tie and consistent pressure as you slide it off can get you of a jam in a tight space.
This is what a how too video should be, no BS. Thanks again.
You bet. Take it easy
Yes, nice and short and sweet. Thank you!!
You're so right
So true, no ten minute intro about what the problem is, when we came here because we already have the problem lol
Excellent Video! No 20-minute speech beforehand. He simply gets right to the point.😀😀😀😀😀
Glad it helped!
New home owner here. Exactly what I needed instead of going to buy new fittings. Learned something new that I can teach my son one day!
Nice!!!
Good for you dude, welcome to the journey of learning how to do it yourself to pass along to kids! 4 years into the same myself man
It's Feb 2024 and you're still saving some of us a trip back to the hardware store. 👍🍻
Glad to help!
This was the most straightforward and easy video on this after five attempts. Thank you
Glad it helped!
Thanks , I’m not a plumber nor do I want to be one lol , I used the crescent n it worked , appreciate it 😊
No problem 👍
Dude seriously thank you! The struggle, the sweating, the cursing. All brought to an end with this perfect tutorial, appreciate it Rob!
That's awesome! Glad I could help save you some headache
No sweating needed. That's for solder joints
Thank you
Thanks for the very helpful tip on using a 🔧 to remove the fitting I wish I would have found this video sooner before I ruined a couple of fittings trying to figure it out 😅
Glad it helped!
Rob, a huge thank you for the crescent wrench tip. The factory release key didn’t work, however the wrench worked first try with zero effort. You saved me a 30 mile round trip to the lumber store to buy replacement fittings to replace the ones I was about to cut off and throw away. All told, an easy $50 tip! Definitely subscribing and a like Thanks.
Glad the video was helpful! Really glad you could save a trip - No extra trips with gas prices sky high is always a win in my book!
Also the time it would of taken you to turn off your main and release all the pressure in your system by opening up all your faucets and showers. And your still going to have water come out. As what happened to me.
Same here, I couldn’t get the removal tool to work but the crescent wrench worked!
June 2020, plumbing emergency, needed to learn how to remove a SharkBite, thank you for saving my life...
Glad I could make your day a little less stressful
My husband instructed me to find a video and yours popped up first. Just what we needed. Thank you very much.
Glad I could help!
I couldn't get it off using the shark bite piece; but when I used the ranch, it pop right off. So thanks for posting, saved me some trouble. 👍🙂
Glad it helped!
Going to change my first sink shutoff valve, every guide is on threaded fittings and not pex, and I bought the wrong shit but thisll really help when i get back with the right one
Great video! Allowed me, a complete beginner, to easily remove a shark bite end from both copper and Pex! Thanks!
Glad you could get it sorted out!
THIS is what an instructional video should be. Direct, to the point, and brief. Thank you. The crescent wrench saved me as I couldn't get in a leveraged position with the tool.
Glad it helped
At least one dude mentioned this already but ABSOLUTELY give it a few turns before attempting removal. Makes a world of difference. I’ve remove thousands of these. I use the tongs but that orange thing or pinch wrench works in a ounce.
So, the tongs work and make it easier? I have a slip coupler that won't slide back to connect with the other pipe. I have pushed so much on that orange tool, but it isn't moving. That plastic orange tool is utterly useless. They should include the tongs for free.
Good video and thanks for not feeling the need to give us the history of indoor plumbing
No problem 👍
Good one lol
Wow Rob, Now THIS is why I rely on RUclips for all my worldly wisdom I require!! I forgot I even had that Shark connector denture! Once again, thank you for your deep and mystic pipe wisdom! YOU DAH MAN!
Great! Glad the video was helpful
Thanks dude. Saved me 12 bucks.
No problem 👍
this is like the gift that keeps on giving! very much appreciate this straight to the point video
You're welcome
Also, I’m so glad I’m not the only one this wasn’t “super easy “ for!!
First, thanks to the poster for getting my head thinking of alternate paths to solve.
Ok, here is what I did to release it in a small area with short pipe. Think … washer and dryer area.
* Use the release disk and put it on the pipe as normal.
* Get needle-nose pliers and gently but firmly clamp the disk. If it deforms in any way its too tight. This will keep the disk pressing on the release when applying a lot of pressure in the next step.
* Take 2 long flat-head screw drivers beneath the disk and lift hard.
Mine popped off at that point.
Explained and wright to the point. Thank You. 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Wow one person that finally explained how the dang tool works....THANK YOU!!!!!
I really wish I could find the person that stuck all this damn pex underneath my house....🤬
Glad the video was helpful!
Thank you.
You've made a stressful situation far more manageable.
No problem 👍
Concise video and highly accurate way of getting these fittings apart. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for posting this! Straight to the point quick video. Much appreciated.
No problem. Take care
Straight to the point. MY FAVORITE type of learning.
Crescent wrench tip is far superior method in tight location, it gives you leverage.
Thank you
Yes, you are right!
I don't normally comment on videos but this was a life saver!!! Thank you
Glad it helped! Take it easy
My man i had no idea you could get these apart! You came in real clutch tonight with these awful temps in TN. I thought I was going to have to wait till tomorrow to buy a whole new shark bite spigot. It seems like crises happen at night when all the stores are closed. Anyway - ty sir for the great video.
Good stuff!! Stay warm
It's easy when you have a piece of separate pipe not connected to anything, but in any real situation it's far more difficult if not impossible, since you only have 2 hands.
I agree. This video taught me how Sharkbite fittings come apart. But I face a situation where the coupling is 1/2" away from a floor joist. Not by choice! I can't get any leverage to push the release ring in. Guess I'll keep looking for videos or a release tool similar to a valve spring compressor tool. If none is available maybe it's time to develop my own and market it on etsy.
@A Z dunno if this will help in your particular situation but I use these damn near every day in apt maintenance:
SharkBite 3/4 in. Push-to-Connect Fitting Stainless Steel Disconnect Tong
Copy and paste that in a Google search.
Note: you can use some vice grips in conjunction with those tongs to free your hands up in tight/difficult scenarios.
@A Z What was the outcome? Any luck?
@@kickstand1111 This just saved me a crapton of cash. Way more leverage. Thank you!
@A Zl
Hey Key Fob Rob. Thanks for this 50 second video. Just what I needed!
Glad it helped
It was perfectly easy, I bought that orange C piece for $2.30 at Lowes, and it took shark bite piece right off from water supply tube installed in wall. Thanks so much!! Guy at store said I had to cut pipe and use a special tool. Nope, I didn’t, thanks to this video!
Nice job!! Glad you could save yourself a lot of headache
I cant not agree more with everyone!! Life savor!! Wrench workout perfect 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Glad the video was helpful

Thank God, an easy to watch and listen to video.
Glad it was helpful!
Hell yeah you saved me a trip to Lowes
Nice!!!
Thanks, that's what I thought however it has been a long time since instalation and sofar I haven't been strong enough 😄
Thank you, I could not get enough leverage without the wrench
Yep all the way from Australia thank you !!!!
Cheers!
Right to the point video. Perfect!
Glad the video was helpful
The video helped by showing how a crescent wrench could do the job. That particular irrigation system connection wasn't seated properly and it was leaking. I've tried the removal tool in the past with no luck.
Great! Glad the video was helpful
Thank you so much for this tutorial I thought I was going to have to go buy the tool
as long as you have a little room, you can do this without the "official" tool
Key Fod Rob for the save! Thanks for the help.
Anytime! Take care
yep, It's easy when it's on a piece of pipe that's not installed in a plumbing system.
Amen, to that
Yep
Frankly, mine was not easy even then.
Frankly, mine was not easy even then.

;) Glad I could help you out
Strait to the point and saved me a trip to the box store for an un needed tool. Thanks a bunch
Glad I could help!
I like it how explained it easy, but maybe should do it in difficult areas,
I had cut plywood and drywall to get my finger for better grip, but did work, replace it with Compressed value with threading not a shark bite value.
Saved me some trouble thanks 👍🏼
No problem 👍
Thank you so much. I helped a friend out and looked like a genius.

If it’s in there tight, giving it a little of a wiggle/twist helped.
