HVP readers are being offered the chance to win one of five SharkBite Contractor Kits, complete with a selection of the fittings and accessories, worth £100.

With installers and plumbers getting busier year on year, competition for work is ever-increasing. To stay ahead of the pack, it’s important to build a good reputation for credibility and reliability. Those who are truly savvy are switching on to the benefits of keeping up with the latest innovations and investing in quality products.


While some installers still use the traditional methods of soldering or compressing pipes and fittings, many are now embracing modern push-fit solutions. Providing an alternative to traditional plumbing and heating techniques, SharkBite is twice as fast to install than press fittings, three times faster to install than compression fittings and four times faster than end-feed fittings, says the company.


In addition to saving valuable time, SharkBite is compatible with five different types of pipe – copper, chromed copper, carbon steel, PEX and polybutylene – making installation in any combination as easy as 'cut, push, done'.


Being able to use just one range of fittings and connections for any domestic or commercial hot and cold water application has multiple advantages. Time saving is the biggest benefit for installers as installation is significantly quicker and easier than traditional methods – one SharkBite installer has reported a saving of three hours labour on a combi boiler installation, reducing the total installation cost for his customer and releasing him to get to his next job.


SharkBite metal push-fit fittings are secure and watertight. All are fully demountable and can instantly be re-used, further reducing time, cost and waste.
