it's been over a week since I put the Shark Bite valve in and it's not leaking. But I'm shocked that it isn't. Watched the videos, cut the old valve off, marked the pipe, pushed it on, it stopped, pushed again very lightly, it slid home and hooked up the dishwasher line. There must be some kind of pressure system that expands the seal because it went on far too easily. And spun easily once on the copper line. I expected water everywhere when I went downstairs to turn the water back on.

It was literally a 5 minute job. Think we saved $250 or so having a plumber come out.
