I’ve had several water joints that have failed over the years. The repair that has worked best for me is a stainless steel flex line like what is used on water heaters. I put a valve box over it for future access if needed. The flex line just screws to pvc or copper fittings. <br>

Well, after around 4 years I finally decided that the leak in the supply line to the shop is not going to "heal" of its own accord. Paid for the leakfinder to come locate it for me and commenced to dig thru the concrete. I know they have come a long way with the sharkbite type fittings. Any recommendations for a high reliability repair to connect the 3/4 pvc supply to the 3/4 and 1/2 copper coming out of the slab?<br>
<br>
Access is reasonable but not perfect as it is through a hole in the sidewalk and about a foot down.<br>
