I am replacing the old shower in my house with a new type. Are the Gator bite fittings reliable for this job?

If you plan on reparing or installing PE-X - I reccomend SharkBite fittings and not GatorBite. Gatorbite is a knock off of the SharkBite fitting and does not come with the PE-X Stiffenor whcih is required for push fit fittings / PE-X applications. SharkBite has the PE-X Stiffenor pre-installed. it also comes with 25yr waranty if installed correctly.

I have used them . But I will not use them anywhere that they will be concealed. Gator bite and Shark bite fittings rely on an o-ring to make the seal. If there is the slightest bit of dirt or corrosion, then they will leak.

I have used them for a couple years and they haven't let me down.
