These products require installation by a qualified plumber, so I'm unable to provide any specific installation instructions. However, for the very old copper lines, your plumber will likely select an undamaged section and place a clean cut through it. They'd then clean the surface up with some fine sandpaper to remove any deposits before installing the Pex to copper fitting. As long as the plumber can find an uncrimped section of copper pipe, installation shouldn't be an issue for them.

These fittings have been around for many years and in the beginning I too was scepticle. However, due to the way they are designed once installed correctly, they only bite on harder if you try to pull them apart.

I've consulted with some of my plumbing colleagues on this issue and they believe that using push-type fittings for temporary or emergency situations is ok. Using it for exposed connections is also acceptable, but for long-term in-wall fitting, they still recommend using traditional brazed copper fittings.

Also bear in mind that these types of connectors are single fit only, especially Shark-bite and Hepworth fittings, you have one chance

My advice first off, if you want to do this properly, buy the proper tube cutter, you need to make Square cuts to the end of the piping

The only place I'd be slightly concerned about using them is in a bathroom behind a waterproof layer that you can't access from the other side of the wall. You don't want to end up in a situation where to access a leaking pex fitting the tiles and waterproofing has to come off.

I'm more than willing to help you through this, plumbing this sort of thing can be difficult if you've never attempted it before.

Any joints you have anyway will need to be hot soldered, this is NOT a DIY thing if you're not confident doing this and don't want to set fire to

Hey @MikeTNZ  thank you for the info, I hope the pic comes through, so what I have 4 copper pipes coming down, I want to fix them up in the roof and only have 2 (1 hot 1 cold) for a laundry sink and washing machine (under counter ) fittings. So what I was think is the blue line put in an extra stud and run the pex down as 1 piece to the connectors so I have no joints behind the Wall and to always make sure the cut is square

The biggest downfall of any system like this is where people that install pipe-work without proper elbows and expect the pipe itself

I have done a bit of research and would love peoples thoughts on push on fittings like smartex or shark bite, in plumbing, I need to make a change in my laundry and want to run new pipes and was going for the push connectors but people think they are more just a temporary not permanent connector?

Secondly, you have existing copper pipework, a qualified plumber will be able to re-route these pipes and lengthen/shorten them as required

before it is fitted into any sort of connector, this is the main reason that leaks happen when people try to use the scissors or the hacksaw

Pex/Sharkbite fittings are used daily in the construction industry for permanent installations. As long as they are installed by a professional and leak tested before the wall is closed up, then they are a reliable option.

As luck would have it, we've just discussed these fittings. Check out Thoughts on push on fittings for plumbing by @carlyk.

Both SmarteX and Sharkbite are very good push connector fittings. Both products are approved for behind-the-wall fitting as long as they are installed correctly and in accordance with the local code. I suggest checking with your local council on the rules and regulations about what type of plumbing fitting is approved in your area before you start your project.
