Question:

Are SharkBite fittings suitable with galvanized piping?

Answer:

Henry Johnson, Plumbing Expert

SharkBite fittings are not directly compatible with galvanized pipes. However, you can use an adapter to make the connection between the SharkBite fitting and the galvanized pipe. You will need a threaded adapter that connects to the galvanized pipe on one end and has a push-to-connect fitting on the other end for the SharkBite. Ensure the pipe is properly prepared by removing rust, debris, and paint to create a clean, smooth surface for a secure connection. If you have concerns about using SharkBite fittings on galvanized pipes or need assistance, the experts at 5 Star Plumbing are happy to help with all your plumbing needs.
