Why Contractors Choose SharkBite PEX Press for Multifamily New Construction
Built for the Speed and Scale of Multifamily Projects
When you're plumbing dozens of units on a multifamily construction project, every installation decision can impact productivity, labor efficiency, and project timelines. For Carlos Sedillo, General Contractor with 20/20 Plumbing & Heating, finding solutions that help crews work faster and more efficiently is a priority.
While working on a 64-unit senior living apartment development in Los Angeles, California, Sedillo and his team turned to a combination of SharkBite and HoldRite products to help streamline installation across the project.
Featured Products:
For this large-scale residential development, the team utilized:
- SharkBite PEX Pipe
- SharkBite PEX Press Fittings
- SharkBite ProLock Transition Fittings
- HoldRite Fixture Boxes
- SharkBite Pipe Cutters
Together, these products helped plumbers work fast with consistent, reliable results that kept the project moving and set them up for success.
Faster Installs with Fewer Tools
According to Sedillo, one of the biggest advantages of SharkBite PEX Press is its simplicity.
"The reason I like [PEX Press] is because it's pretty simple to install it. Just one tool with pipe cutters and we do a bunch of work. It's faster and easier for us."
On multifamily projects where hundreds or even thousands of connections may be required, reducing installation time can have a significant impact on labor productivity and schedules.
Easy for Crews to Learn and Use
With its visual pipe insertion indicator, SharkBite PEX Press clearly confirms when the pipe is fully inserted before pressing, giving installers confidence in every connection. That built-in installation confidence, combined with a straightforward installation process, helped Sedillo's crew quickly learn the system and maintain productivity throughout the project.
A System Plumbers Prefer
For the plumbers performing installations every day, convenience matters. Carrying fewer tools and working more efficiently can make a noticeable difference throughout a project.
"The plumbers like it a lot because it's easier to install and faster. They don't have to carry a lot of tools with them."
By simplifying the installation process, crews can spend less time managing equipment and more time progressing through each phase of construction.

- Faster installation across multiple units
