Copper stub-outs
SharkBite’s evopex Copper Stub-out with integrated cap allows for easy installation during rough-in and immediate pressure testing, SharkBite notes. Brass machines to PEX dimensions allow for the evopex elbow to connect to the stub-out. Users cut the bullet and attach the necessary supply stop to finish the installation. A green visual indicator signals the PEX tubing is inserted to the proper depth and reduces the risk of installation errors. The product is available with and without a bracket. www.sharkbite.com
