    Hi PD1:

    As long as it is removed properly/smoothly without marring or denting the fitting then yes, you can reuse these push-type fittings.

    In addition to Mark's advice : You should use dedicated SharkBite fitting removal tool. This simple tool will assure pressure is applied to the fitting evenly. Cost: about $1.00

    Ahhh... good addition here, Milo. I read it like he had already removed the fitting!

    Great/cheap tool!
