Is wrapping buried brass fittings in silicone tape a good idea and a standard practice?
A page on the Sharkbyte website ( https://www.sharkbite.com/resources/...-installations ) says
Sharkbyte makes other fittings besides their famous press-on fittings. I assume those remarks also apply to brass fittings that require clinch clamps and crimp rings.As you may already know, our SharkBite fittings are made of brass, which is susceptible to corrosion when exposed to severe ground conditions. Any underground application of SharkBite fittings must be wrapped in order to maintain the 25 year warranty.
