There’s no code that outright forbids their use, but they’re “known for a high failure rate” because any dingleberry with a water leak and $15 can go to Home Depot and squeeze a couple ragged-edged pipes together with one.One of the guys that gave me a quote said that the sharkbite quick connects aren't to code and insurance wouldn't cover anything where those were used. I don't know if I believe that, but I did use them in a few places.
He’s probably right though, insurance companies don’t usually go out of their way to cover DIY project failures. Are those exposed or behind drywall?
