What happens here

With the wall opened and the leak confirmed to be coming from a SharkBite fitting, the repair plan becomes clear. The leaking SharkBite fitting and potentially the entire shower valve assembly, along with other SharkBite fittings, will need to be replaced. The presence of these push-to-connect fittings in a concealed wall is noted as problematic due to their potential for future failure. The plan involves replacing the valve and ensuring all connections are made with more reliable, soldered copper fittings where possible, to prevent recurrence of leaks.
