Fittings & Pipe

SharkBite push-to-connect (PTC) fittings are made from Dezincification Resistant Brass (DZR) and available in 200+ configurations including;Couplings, Elbows, Tees, Reducers, Threaded Adaptors, Caps, Breeches, Ball Valves, Tempering Valves and Copper Slip Repair Couplings plus transition Couplings and Tees to Cu, PN20PEX and PB.SharkBite Pipe is PN16 PEX available in Coils and Straights in over 30 designations from 5mtr lengths to 100mtr coils in a variety of color codes for all standards requirements.Installation as always in accordance with National Plumbing Installation Code AS3500 and appropriate local codes if applicable.

Push-to-Connect Technology

The SharkBite fitting works via a two stage process that ensures a quick, easy connection.• The tubing passes through the release collar and then through the stainless steel grab ring. • The tube is pushed through an o-ring protector that aligns the tube. It then passes through a specially formulated o-ring that compresses between the pipe and the wall of the fitting before it reaches the tube stop.

How to Make a Connection

1. All pipe should be free of damage or debris. Cut PEX Pipe with quality PEX Cutters, cutters with blunt or damaged blades may damage the pipe causing failure. Cut Copper Tube with Tube Cutter, do not use a hacksaw causing damage to pipe ends.

2. For copper tube, De-Burr the end of the pipe using the SharkBite F702 De-Burring tool to remove any sharp edges that may damage the O-ring causing failure. Do not De-Burr PEX Pipe.

3. For Copper tube mark the pipe using SharkBite F702 Gauge with the proper insertion depth. SharkBite PEX Pipe is

supplied pre-gauged “Safe Seal Indicator Marks” (SSIM) for faster installation

4. For Copper push the pipe into the fitting to the mark made in 3. The mark made in 3 should rest against the collar of the fitting ensuring correct insertion depth. For PEX simply push to the next SSIM as above.

Tube Liner

All SharkBite PEX fittings come with a preinstalled tube liner. It is an AS3500 requirement when using push-to-connect fittings on PEX pipe. Tube liners are not required on copper tube fittings.

Tools

No tooling is required to make a joint using SharkBite however a pair of cutters (F700 or F701) are required to cut the PEX pipe.• SharkBite depth & deburring tool for 1/2” to 1” copper tube.• SharkBite disconnection clips and tongs are available for all sizes to suit PEX or Cu fittings.

The Connection

In one easy push the SharkBite fitting’s advanced design seals and locks the pipe securely. When the pipe is inserted into the fitting, it passes first through the release collar and then through the stainless steel grab ring. The grab ring opens out and grabs the pipe preventing it from being withdrawn. The pipe then passes through the o-ring protector which aligns the pipe before it passes through the o-ring and hits the stop.

A secure joint is only created when the pipe reaches the stop.

If required, the pipe and fitting can be easily disconnected using SharkBite dissassembly clip or tongs. Simply apply pressure to the release collar. This releases the grab ring teeth allowing the pipe to be withdrawn from the fitting.

Working Pressure

In compliance with AS2537 a SharkBite joint will withstand an internal pressure of 1600 kPa at 20°C and 850 kPa at max temp 95° C.

To make the perfect SharkBite joint, check that fittings and pipe are clean, in good condition and are free from damage and foreign objects. Do not use any additional lubricant or sealing compounds. To ensure fittings stay clean and the o-ring is protected from damage, fittings must be kept in their original packaging until immediately prior to installation.

SharkBite PEX fittings are supplied factory assembled requiring no additional components and cannot be disassembled.

Do not apply excessive force to insert the pipe into the fitting. Need for excessive force may indicate damage to the end of the pipe. If SharkBite pipe is to be refitted to a SharkBite fitting, it is important to trim the pipe before making the joint.

Do not apply direct heat to any part of SharkBite pipe or fittings (except brazing adaptors).

Ensure the SharkBite pipe is free of scoring, cuts and abrasion. If the pipe has been engaged with the fitting and then requires removal, it is important that the pipe be trimmed prior to re-engaging.

Holes in timber and metal frames should be accurately sized and SharkBite clips be used to allow the pipe to expand and contract in the event of temperature change. Avoid kinking of the pipe. Any kinked section of pipe must be replaced. Use SharkBite bend supports for tight radius bends. Installations of a SharkBite plumbing system must comply with AS3500.

SharkBite fittings are not to be installed back to back. A minimum distance of 1 safe seal indicator mark for PEX and 25mm for copper tube must be left. The same rule applies for clipping.

Toxicity

Sharkbite PEX pipe is completely non-toxic and is approved to AS4020 & NSF61.

The full range of SharkBite PEX pipe is manufactured in Australia from high quality virgin materials in Reliance Worldwide’s facilities and are approved to AS2492-1994. The pipe is PN16 (Pressure Nominal) and has a SDR9 (Standard Dimension Ratio) rating.

Moisture Cure

SharkBite pipe is manufactured using the silane or “moisture cure” method and is produced in a simple two stage process.

1. Silane grafted polyethylene is combined with a catalyst and extruded into pipe.2. The cross linking process is then performed by exposing the pipe to steam.

The resulting strong, irreversible cross links for the structure that gives SharkBite its properties, making it suitable for use on both hot and cold domestic hot water plumbing systems.

Cross Linked Polyethylene

The process of cross linking polyethylene ties the molecular chains of the material together into a three dimensional structure. Improving the properties of the material and making it ideal for use with both hot and cold water plumbing systems.

Cross linking improves:

• Performance at high temperature • Chemical resistance• Resistance to cracking, creep and abrasion

Pressure Loss and Flow RatesFitting Pressure Loss

To calculate the pressure loss through a particular fitting, the type and diameter of the fitting and the flow rate must be established. The pressure loss may then be read from the vertical axis. To calculate the pressure loss through a number of fittings in a circuit, the number and type of fittings, along with the direction of flow must be known. The pressure loss through each fitting can then be added together to calculate a total pressure loss.

Elbows – Head Loss in kPa per fitting

Straight connectors* - Head loss in kPa per fitting

Thermal Properties

PEX pipe will not melt. This is due to the irreversible cross linking process which has changed the chemical structure of the base polyethylene.

* Based on AS3500 maximum allowable velocity in pipe of 3m/s

# Based on its minimum ID of 15mm, 20mm SharkBite may be used where AS3500 requires a nominal pipe size of DN20 (eg. Section 3.5.1). This is a feature of SharkBite pipe only,

and not generally applicable to PEX pipe.

Pressure or head loss through PEX pipe

This graph shows pressure loss through SharkBite PEX Pipe at various flow rates in 16mm, 20mm and 25mm.

In order to calculate the pressure loss through the pipe, the given flow rate for a particular portion of tube must be established (this may be done using the table provided in AS3500.1), along with the required pipe length and diameter. The pressure loss can then be read off the vertical axis.

It is important to understand the information provided here is theoretical and based on new clean pipe. No allowance has been made for age or any abnormal conditions of the interior surface of the pipe.

Electrical Conductivity

The SharkBite fitting does not guarantee electrical conductivity when used with copper tubing. This is sometimes referred to as a dielectric system.

Environment

The SharkBite PEX system has obtained a rating of 5 in the Ecoselector database maintained by Vicurban.

For further information contact Vicurban or visit www.vicurban.com.au.

Chlorine Resistance

PEX pressure pipe has very good resistance to chlorinated potable water. At typical major Australian reticulation chlorine concentrations and PH levels, there will be no impact on the expected lifetime of the pipe in service when within its designed parameters in domestic / multilevel residential potable plumbing applications.

SharkBite fittings are made from recycled materials, and have been designed to be reusable to help reduce waste.

Thermal Insulation

R-Values of Common Plumbing Piping and Insulation.

In certain areas, AS3500 requires a minimum insulation of R=0.3, no current piping material will meet this requirement without suitable thermal insulation.

“R-value = Thickness / Conductivity. See AS3500.4 Section 8.6”

UV Resistance

SharkBite pipe should not be installed in direct sunlight as the material may degrade with extended UV exposure. Where external installation is required, install the SharkBite pre-conduited product or provide other similar UV protection.

Acoustic Properties

Comparative tests between DN16 PEX pipe and 15mm copper tube indicate an average noise reduction of up to 17dB (A) can be obtained when using PEX pipe.

SharkBite® Burial / Chased

SharkBite fittings are suitable for burial in most applications; however care is required when using fittings in applications that require burial to ensure the correct installation practices are used and due care is given to any environmental factors that may have a detrimental effect on the life expectancy of the fittings and pipe.

The installation of SharkBite fittings in applications that will require the burial or chased into concrete or brickwork the of the fitting must comply with all local plumbing code requirements. SharkBite fittings are not suitable for use in areas where the soil is or may become contaminated* including the soil used for back filling. All SharkBite Universal fittings with brass bodies must have an impervious barrier between the fitting and the surrounding soil. Self-fusing, formaldehyde and chloride-free, fully cured silicone tape with a minimum thickness of 0.020” should be used for this purpose.

The soil used for back filling must be free of rocks, debris or any sharp objects that may cause damage to the fitting or pipe through impact or abrasion. * Examples of contamination include, but are not limited to, petrochemicals (reclaimed service station sites), high levels of nitrogen compounds (this could be caused by animal waste or fertilizer that may be found in some agricultural applications), low pH levels (below pH 6), high pH levels(above pH 8), run off from land fill, formaldehyde compounds, and solvents. It should be noted that such contaminants have been known to migrate through plastic piping systems and contaminate the Potable water supplied through these pipes.

SharkBite® Silicone Burial Wrap

For any in-ground, buried, or chased fittings SharkBite Silicone Burial Wrap (F708) must be used. Make a SharkBite connection ensuring pipe is inserted to proper depth. While leaving the protective film in place, measure the amount of tape needed to completely wrap the fitting. To ensure a proper seal, overlap tape by 25mm past the end of the fitting on every end and 6mm – 12mm between/across the fitting. Wrap the fitting by pulling the tape tight and removing the protective film. Completely cover the fitting. The tape will bond to itself within minutes and will cement to itself within a few hours forming an air and water tight seal.
