Give your interpretation as to what you think happened. I purposely did not give my feelings, nor my husbands, toward the situation.

When remodeling our master bath we stressed a 30 year old polybutylene tee in the crawlspace. The tee was misaligned but nevertheless required repair. Normally we use massive gip with hose barbs and clamps. For speed our local ph jobber sold us Sharkbite fitting but not a polybutylene conversion fitting. The standard Sharkbite fittings sealed fine and remain intact 18 months later. If available we intend to make subsequent repairs with the same fittings.
Sharkbite fittings are sized for copper pipe size and pex tubing. Polybute is a slightly different size. You may experience a leak down the road, as polybute expands and contracts. If the repair is in a accessible area, keep an eye on it. If the repair is behind a wall or otherwise not visible, I would change it to a poly barb and crimp ring repair fitting. Good luck! Happy New Year!
im not 100 % positive bt im pretty sure they could adopt, i don't know what a telewriter is sorry :( and well they can't hear it thy could probably do the light flash, or they have a dog which would let them know
I would not redo the repair. Just watch it and only redo the repair if there is a problem. It is not listed because they stop making it. I looked at the online brochure and it should work just fine. Your O.D. on your pipes are the same. I used the plastic coupling to do my repair on that stuff. I work maintenance and sharkbite is a quick coupling system. I never had a problem using a quick coupling in water lines before. Happy New Years
