Disconnection of the joint can only occur by using either the SharkBite disconnect clip or
the SharkBite disconnect tongs. By applying pressure to the release collar with the clip
or the disconnect tongs, the grab ring teeth are splayed. This action releases the pipe,
allowing it to be removed from the tting.
1. Place the SharkBite disconnect clip
around the pipe with the non-branded
face against the release collar. If using
the SharkBite disconnect tongs, place
the teeth around the tting assembly.
The fork end with the SharkBite brand
logo should be positioned around the
pipe and the other end around the neck
of the tting.
2. Push the clip against the release
collar and pull the pipe with a twisting
action to release the pipe. If using the
SharkBite disconnect tongs, squeeze
the tool with one hand and pull the
pipe with a twisting action to release
the pipe.
3. Check the tting and pipe end for
damage. The tting and pipe should
be free of damage, foreign objects and
marks on the outside diameter. If the
pipe is damaged or marked, then cut
and use a new section of pipe.
