Joining cpvc to copper?

I am installing a new water heater for my parents and have a question about joining cpvc pipe to the old copper lines. I am using Flowguard Gold pipe and purchased two shark bite couplings for joining the two together. Has anyone had any problems using this type of coupler? A good friend works for a plumbing supply house and said this is what all the plumbers are using. Just wanted to hear some feedback about them. Thanks for any help you can give.

I have not used this type connector but I have included a link to a site showing how the fittings work. At the bottom of the page you will see advice to check with Local Code office for usage guidelines. I noticed the many "claims" as to how these fittings can be used but also know they would not be allowed in all Regions due to Code.
