SharkBite’s pressure gauges make for a quick and easy installation in CTS copper, CPVC, PEX or PE-RT water distribution systems allowing you to monitor water conditions for potable water and radiant systems. These gauges can be installed permanently or temporarily, and they are reusable. The SharkBite temperature and pressure gauges are designed for use with SharkBite® PushTo-Connect (PTC) fittings. The tube assembly shall be inserted into the fitting. In the first stage through a release collar and then through a stainless steel grab ring. The grab ring has teeth that open out and grip onto the tube. at the second stage the tube shall be pushed through an o-ring protector which aligns the pipe. A specifically formulated EPDM o-ring shall be compressed between the wall of the fitting and the tube before the end of the pipe reaches the pipe stop. Only when the pipe has passed through the o-ring and reached the pipe stop shall a secure joint be created. The gauge shall be a SharkBite gauge.
