Product Description

The JONES STEPHENS c76911 is a 1/2-inch PEX-B crosslinked polyethylene tubing coil, 500 feet in length, supplied in red for easy hot-side identification in potable water systems. Rated to 160 psi maximum working pressure and a maximum temperature of 203 degrees F, this tubing is engineered for residential and light commercial plumbing installations. The flexible coil format simplifies routing through walls, floors, and framing with fewer fittings. Certified to NSF/ANSI 14, 61, and 372, it meets safe drinking water standards for lead content and material safety. Plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this product.

It is well suited for residential hot and cold domestic water distribution, radiant heating supply and return lines, and manifold-based home-run plumbing layouts. The red color coding is standard practice for identifying hot-water supply runs. PEX 5306 approval is noted for this product. It is approved for potable plumbing applications per the certifications listed below.
