SharkBite U711 DZR Brass Disconnect Tongs, Push-Fit Removal Tool

The SharkBite U711 Disconnect Tongs are a purpose-built removal tool for use with SharkBite push-fit fittings on copper, CPVC, or PEX tubing, available in 1/2 In. and 3/4 In. sizes to match the fitting being serviced. When a rough-in connection needs to be redone, these tongs let a plumber release the pipe from the fitting cleanly, without cutting the fitting off the line or damaging the tube end. Constructed from a compact, robust DZR (dezincification-resistant) brass body, the tool is built to hold up to repeated use in the field and is fully reusable across multiple disconnect-and-reconnect cycles on the jobsite.

Key Features

  • Trade Size: Available in 1/2 In. and 3/4 In. sizes for SharkBite push-fit fittings.
  • Durable Construction: Compact, robust DZR brass body resists dezincification and stands up to repeated jobsite use.
  • Easy Removal Tool: Purpose-built disconnect tongs allow the user to release the pipe from the fitting if a mistake is made during installation.
  • Reusable Design: Not a one-time-use tool - the tongs can be used again and again on future disconnect jobs.
  • Works With Push-Fit Fittings: Designed for SharkBite push-fit fittings, which join copper, CPVC, or PEX tubing in any combination without glue, soldering, or crimping.
  • Simple Operation: Slips over the tubing at the fitting collar so the plumber can press and hold the collar back while pulling the pipe free.

Technical Specifications

  • Trade Size: 1/2 In. and 3/4 In.
  • Body Material: DZR Brass
  • Compatible Fitting System: SharkBite Push-Fit
  • Reusability: Reusable tool

Typical Applications

  • Correcting a Misaligned or Incorrectly Inserted Pipe on a SharkBite Push-Fit Connection
  • Residential and Commercial Rough-In Plumbing Repairs
  • Servicing Water Distribution Lines Run in Copper, CPVC, or PEX
  • Retrofit and Remodel Work Where Fittings Need to Be Reused
  • General Plumbing Maintenance Kits for Push-Fit Systems

Why SharkBite?

SharkBite push-fit fittings are designed to be the fastest, easiest way to join copper, CPVC, or PEX tubing in any combination - no glue, soldering, or crimping required. The U711 Disconnect Tongs, offered in both 1/2 In. and 3/4 In. sizes, extend that same practical, tool-minimal approach to servicing those connections, giving plumbers and contractors a dedicated, reusable DZR brass tool to safely back a fitting off the pipe when a correction is needed, keeping both the fitting and the tubing intact for reinstallation.

SharkBite U711 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which size SharkBite disconnect tong do I need for 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch push-fit fittings?
The tongs are size-specific, so match the tool to the tube. Model U711 covers 1/2 inch push-fit fittings and model U713 covers 3/4 inch. If you work both sizes on a service truck, you need both; a 1/2 inch tong will not seat on a 3/4 inch fitting collar.
2) Can I get a SharkBite fitting off copper pipe without cutting it out?
That is exactly what the U711 tongs are for. They slip over the tubing at the fitting collar so you can press and hold the collar back while pulling the pipe free, releasing the joint without cutting the fitting off the line or damaging the tube end. Both the fitting and the tube stay intact for reinstallation.
3) Do these tongs work on CPVC and PEX, or just copper?
All three. The tool is built for SharkBite push-fit fittings, and those fittings join copper, CPVC, or PEX in any combination, so the tongs release the pipe from the fitting regardless of which of those tube materials is in the socket. Size is what matters, not the tube material.
4) I pushed a SharkBite fitting on crooked during rough-in. Can I back it off and reuse the fitting?
Yes, and that is the main use case. If a pipe goes in misaligned or not fully seated, the tongs release it so you can re-cut or re-mark the tube and push the same fitting back on. Common on rough-in corrections, remodel and retrofit work where fittings get reused, and general service on copper, CPVC, or PEX water distribution lines.
5) Is a SharkBite disconnect tong a one-time-use tool or can I keep it in the van?
Reusable. The tongs are built for repeated disconnect-and-reconnect cycles, not a single use, which is why they belong in a standing maintenance kit for push-fit systems rather than being treated as a consumable.
6) Why are these tongs DZR brass instead of plastic like the usual disconnect clips?
The body is DZR (dezincification-resistant) brass, a compact metal body that holds up to repeated jobsite use and resists dezincification in wet service conditions. That is the practical difference from a thin plastic release clip: it is the same tool going back in the bag job after job.
7) What is the SharkBite part number for the 3/4 inch disconnect tongs?
Order the U713 for 3/4 inch. The U711 designation covers the 1/2 inch tong. Both are DZR brass push-fit removal tools in the same family, differing only in the size of fitting collar they fit.
