“Four stars instead of five simply because the picture on theplumbing supply website is wrong. Note that this is NOT the coupling pictured, but is actually a Ball Valve as is described. It turns out I needed a slip ball valve for another project anyway. The slip ball valve is a great product, as are all Sharkbite fittings.”
“Pros: Easy to install - no soldering, no Teflon tape needed because there are no threads; easy to fully open and close with a 1/2 turn; no water flow restriction - full 3/4" water flow; valve can be turned 360-degrees around the pipe after installation allowing the handle to be placed at the optimum location for preferred use; solid brass; highly effective - no leaks; can be easily removed with the Sharkbite removal tool that comes with the valve. Cons: Pricy”
