I am attempting to use sharkbite connections on a 3/4” pex line with a 3/4” that allows passthrough to a 4 port 1/2”closed manifold at the passthrough and a 3/4” pex to braided hot water connection.

i am consistently getting a drip leak at the first point of the 3/4” tee. All other connections are good. I have swapped tees, swapped manifolds, recut the pipe several times… i can’t figure it out.
Any ideas?

Thanks! I took it apart again to check and pipe and oring are good. I did see the end only slightly imperfect in the cut… turns out my sharkbite cutting device has a little bend to it after use. I trimmed it to perfect* and reinstalled… working well now!
5th cut is a charm… possible the other points have leas pressure and weren’t subject to leaking… but i trimmed them up as well.

thanks much for the quick feedback
