Good Luck! I've never used it for copper, thoguh it is supposed to work for that; only Cpvc and PEX. Make sure you have the insert with the flat part in first so the pipe will squeeze around the rest of it and make sure it does actuallyconnect together; I've thought I connected it, but it wasn't all the way in and it leaked a lot.

Well, today I will have my first experience with this kind of copper pipe repair. Three weeks ago a pipe froze in the attic of my rental unit, in the garage with no access. I cut a hole in the ceiling and got lucky with locating the leak above my first hole. but I really don't want to try to sweat new copper in to repair it, so I'm going to fix it with the push on SharkBite fittings. I'll leave my new access hole open for a while to keep an eye on it tho. Hope it's as simple as it looks. Ed
