Shark bite fittings are primarily designed for use with potable water and can also be used with some heating and cooling applications. However, they are not typically approved for use with propane gas or other fuels. For propane applications, it's essential to use fittings specifically rated and tested for gas use to ensure safety and compliance with local codes. Always consult manufacturer guidelines and local regulations before making installations involving gas.
