I can not tell you how ridiculously easy this assembly is... Sharkbite technology has made plumbing and crefting like this almost a sin as to how easy and quick everything comes together!!

Assembly:

  1. Punch a divet in the center of the CAP
  2. Drill a hole in the center of the CAP
  3. Attach CAP to one side of the copper pipe
  4. Apply the teflon tap to all threaded pieces
  5. Using your wrench, attach all the pieces together in this order:
    • 1/2in to 1/2in Sharkbite Adapter
    • 1/2in Ball Vavle
    • 1/2in to 3/4in Adapter
    • Quick Connect Adapter
  6. Attach Copper pipe to sharkbite adapter
  7. You are done... seriously... how long did that take you...2 minutes?!? maybe??...be honest.. you probably spent more time looking for your smallest drill bit!!

THAT'S IT!!... go play with your hose! or let your hoes play with your hose... whatever!
