Removing a SharkBite fitting is a relatively simple process that can be completed in a few minutes with the right tools. SharkBite fittings are designed to be easily installed and removed, making them a popular choice for DIY plumbing projects.
To remove a SharkBite fitting, you will need a pair of pliers and a flat-head screwdriver. First, use the pliers to squeeze the release collar on the fitting. This will allow you to pull the fitting straight off of the pipe. If the fitting is stuck, you can use the flat-head screwdriver to gently pry it off.
