SharkBite Pro Push-to-Connect Disconnect Tool 3/8"–1" — Single-Head, Rubber Grip, Made in USA

The SharkBite 3/8" to 1" Pro Push-to-Connect Disconnect Tool is a single, purpose-built hand tool that releases push-to-connect fittings from PEX, copper, CPVC, PE-RT and HDPE quickly and reliably.

When you need to remove or reposition a push-to-connect fitting without cutting pipe or hunting for multiple adapters, this SharkBite disconnect tool streamlines the job. It covers fittings from 3/8" up to 1" in a single unit, features rubberized grips and heavy-duty springs for repeat use, and is manufactured and tested in the USA for both residential and commercial plumbing tasks.

How does this tool free push-to-connect fittings in tight spots?

The tool compresses the fitting’s retaining collar to release the pipe with a compact head designed for limited access. Its one-piece design eliminates the need for interchangeable plates, letting you work in shallow or confined locations with fewer adjustments.

• Single-head construction fits 3/8"–1" fittings without faceplates
• Slim profile reaches into cabinets, behind fixtures, and near joists
• Rubber grips aid steady control when space restricts movement

Which pipe and fitting materials will this disconnect tool work with?

Designed for the push-to-connect family, the tool works across the common plumbing materials used with SharkBite and other push-fit fittings. It compresses the fitting collar the same way regardless of whether the tubing is metal or plastic, allowing consistent release action.

• Compatible with PEX, copper, CPVC, PE-RT and HDPE tubing
• Suitable for brass push-to-connect fittings and similar connectors
• Works for removal, repositioning or temporary disassembly tasks

What makes this model durable enough for professional work?

SharkBite built this disconnect tool with heavy-duty handle springs and robust construction to stand up to repeated use on job sites. The ergonomically shaped rubber grips reduce hand fatigue during extended projects while maintaining full control.

• Reinforced springs for consistent compression over time
• Rubberized handles for comfortable, slip-resistant use
• Made and tested in the USA to commercial quality standards

Can one tool really replace multiple disconnect plates or gadgets?

Yes—the 3/8" to 1" range covers the most commonly installed push-to-connect sizes so one tool replaces several size-specific plates or separate wrenches. That reduces the tools you carry and speeds up changeovers on the fly.

• Eliminates the need for separate faceplates or interchangeable heads
• Streamlines toolkits for service calls and site repairs
• Faster transition between sizes saves time on multi-fit projects

Who is this for? The SharkBite PRO Disconnect Tool is for plumbers, contractors, and experienced DIYers who regularly install or service push-to-connect systems and want a durable, single-tool solution. It’s useful for new construction, remodels, service work and emergency repairs where quick, non-destructive disconnection of fittings keeps projects moving without cutting pipe or replacing fittings.
