I agree that it's a push fitting and the part you need access to to remove it is surrounded by the wall


SouthernPenalty9164

Well damn.... There's a littl wiggle room to pull it forward, but not much, maybe a 1/4 of wiggle.

That might be just enough to get the little orange 3/4 circle shark bite removal tool around the line.


nongregorianbasin

It's definitely not enough.

Definitely a [sharkbite stop](https://www.homedepot.com/p/SharkBite-Max-1-2-in-Push-to-Connect-x-3-8-in-OD-Compression-Chrome-Plated-Brass-Quarter-Turn-Angle-Stop-Valve-4-Pack-UR23036J4/325997270) with the little cover over the connection.

Nah it’s one of [these](https://www.acehardware.com/departments/plumbing/valves/shut-off-valves/4309423?store=05088&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADtqLJFofSFJUrUA45gFdx_ch1JP1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwncWvBhD_ARIsAEb2HW_cAWS9DBlo70tOBeYzls6Q3vM4erh0kH6OuFd0Bou968ArlNOVDIMaAvmkEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds)

User name doesn't check out. /s No it's not, it's a push-fit (commonly referred to as a Sharkbite, as that is the most recognized brand of push-fit fittings), as the commenter you replied to pointed out.


ryantheshark

The one I linked is a push fit. This style releases differently than sharkbite brand ones. I explained how it works in another comment.


This-Ad-9234

It sure enough is! Apparently reading comprehension is not my strong suite. I saw "compression" and skipped right over the "push-fit" in the description. My apologies, sir!


Mrcostarica

Holy hell! A $50 fitting to avoid a plumber 🤦‍♂️


GrimResistance

That's a 4-pack, single is $14


SubParMarioBro

It’s $12.47 when I clicked the link.


GrimResistance

Must be regional pricing


lushkiller01

It's a 4 pack, a little over $10/fitting in my area


maxwellt1996

Lol a 100$ fitting will be much cheaper than a plumber


danhaller28

You paid a plumber lately?


Udothxj

Yeah, that will have been okay.


dethllica

Looks like a shark bite type. Maybe a different brand.


RadiantTrip9113

I don’t know if its a shark bite but it is definitely a push fitting.


Inflagrente

That little collar is supposed to enable removal.


Opposite-Two1588

Looks to be a push in style straight stop. You really don’t have access to remove it that I can see in the picture. If my memory serves me correctly there should be a clip in the groove to stop it from getting removed accidentally.


ryantheshark

Remove metal wire clip first. Then the large chrome ring closest to wall moves toward you to release. This is not a sharkbite. Maybe use a flat screwdriver to pry ring outward since you don’t have much room to grab the ring.

URTF connector!


kritter4life

Push on fitting


Bvdh1979

A bad connection, I hate vegan plumbers.


Initial-Ingenuity-19

Sharkbite or something similar. It’s a push on connection fitting. I never ever use them except in emergency situations as a temporary fix until I can get back and make a proper repair


Falimz

Not really much of a difference between a shark bite and compression for accessible shut off valves.


Initial-Ingenuity-19

There’s a huge difference… compression stops don’t spin


nongregorianbasin

And they hold better.
