Product Details

SharkBite PEX tubing is a cross-linked polyethylene tubing for a wide range of residential and commercial plumbing applications. Manufactured without an oxygen barrier for potable water systems (available in white, blue, and red). A repeating SharkBite imprint pattern provides a visual aid to determine if the tube has been inserted all the way into the SharkBite Push-Fit Fitting. This feature only works if the tubing is cut between the SharkBite imprint pattern.
  • Strong, flexible, corrosion-resistant pipe
  • Flexibility reduces number of fittings needed to complete a job, reducing cost and leak points
  • Can be installed wet or dry for immediate pressure testing
  • SharkBite imprint pattern provides a visual aid to ensure pipe is fully inserted when using SharkBite push-to-connect fittings
  • SharkBite system provides a variety of connection options, SharkBite PEX can be connected with SharkBite push-to-connect fittings or barbed fittings
  • Listed to NSF 14 and CSA B137.5 for use in potable water systems
  • Meets UL1821 standard for plastic piping for fire systems (3/4 in. and 1 in. only)

Answer This Question

A:  Hi, The letter B in the SharkBite 1 in. x 5 ft. Straight Blue PEX-B pipe indicates the type of PEX pipe. I've attached the chart describing the different types of PEX and the chemical used to make that pipe. I've also attached a link to the PEX installation manual.

          Great Value, Easy Install
          I used SharkBite PEX to replace copper line running to my Water Heater. The red and blue colors make it easy to distinguish Hot and Cold lines after install is complete. Using a SharkBite elbow I easily transitioned from Copper to PEX, the PEX is more flexible than copper and easy to work with, it is also a great value at much lower price point. PEX is easy to cut as well and can be done with a PEX Cutter sold at Home Depot. Great product very easy to work with and use for an average DIYer.

            It's PEX pipe and it's straight
            It's PEX pipe and it's straight, no need to fight the curve from the longer rolls of pipe. Wish HD actually carried this in the stores instead of online ordering only
