I am wanting to replace it with something flexible. What can I do? I am mainly concerned with connecting to the Male fittings on the other pipes. Won't take no prisoners,won't spare no lives.

Most common source of leaking sharkbite fitting not deburring the pipe. The bitterness of poor quality last a lot longer than the sweetness of low price
