I've seen sharkbite installations fail due to idiots not following instructions
I've also seen even more solder installations fail due to idiots not following proper procedure
And I've still seen pro-press installations fail due to idiots being lazy
For the "pro plumbers" who kick and scream that homeowners can do their job for a fraction of the cost and without any of their labor using sharkbites, and who cite things like rubber o-rings on these things failing and this and that, just know that it's complete bullshit. The O-rings are EPDM and resistant to chlorine. The O-rings in these things will outlast the rubber gaskets in all of your fixture compression fittings under your sink and behind your washing machine. And then "pro plumbers" will say sharkbites will blow off if your house pressure gets too high and they claim they've seen it happen. No they haven't. Sharkbites are rated to 250 psi. Before this sharkbite ever gets blown off due to pressure, your toilet plastic fill valve will blow a leak, along with the fill valves on your appliances like dishwashers, washing machines, etc.
The biggest failure point with sharkbites, is not properly prepping the copper pipe. You need to remove all of the crud off of it and clean it off, along with deburr the inside and outside edges. People will slide these things onto copper with soldier on it, crud, and sharp edges. Not only will the rubber o-ring not make a good seal, you can actually cut the o-ring with a sharp edge.
2nd biggest failure, is when these are used over and over and over again for emergency repairs. This is mainly done by plumbers and handy guys doing temporary repairs with shut off valves and end caps. Over time, the repeated installation and removal, over and over and over again, over years, will damage the O-ring. It's not designed for that purpose. Hence, why it fails. Then the plumber bitches. Go figure.

Shakebite has been tested and approved, if you use it as directed, you will be fine. I have used it in projects for 10 yrs and on rental repairs, there is no problem.
Typically, city water pressure is less than 150 PSI. In fact, most of them is less than 100 psi. These fitting can support around 1200 psi on average on a 1/2" copper pipe . So, I would classify that it works.
Unless you are arguing the products need to last over 50 yrs, then only good copper soldering will meet the requirements. I mean .. I have seem pro plumbers kind of messed in copper soldering too... It leaks after 10 yrs...
If the term "temporary" is 10 to 15 yrs, I think we have to clarify that.
Edit: to be clear I'm not worried about the valve, but Rather the fitting surviving a lot of jostling.
