Leaking connector

imokyrok · 2021-08-04 18:31:43

I have a very slight leak from what I think is called a sharkbite connector. Would self fusing tape take care of it or do I need to get a plumber to replace it?

Short answer...
It needs to be replaced.
Best to use a compression connection, that's the type with the nuts and rings.
And you might need 2 new pex pipe inserts as well.
Should be an easy fix.
