[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3879603, member: 5412"] The sharkbite have a good reputation so far from what I'm reading. My guy used some brass fittings for the PEX to PVC conversion. It was basically a double compression fitting with a collar on the end to clamp into the pipe to keep the compression fitting from crawling off the connection for higher pressure water lines.

My guy used a fitting similar to this to connect the PEX to the PVC. I guarantee it won't separate. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1666148242050.png"]311209[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
