In this video I’ll show you how I changed out a leaking SharkBite water heater connector with integrated ball valve. The connector was leaking in an area that indicated it was a manufacture defect. So I went to my local box store, bought the same one, replaced the faulty connector and returned the defected unit. To my surprise, they don’t give you any hassle and refunded my money back to my card.
