Product Description
The JONES STEPHENS c76926 is a 1-inch diameter PEX-B pipe supplied in a 100-foot coil for use in potable water plumbing systems. PEX-B designates a crosslinked, high-density polyethylene pipe manufactured using the moisture-cure silane method, which produces a flexible, durable tube well suited for residential and light commercial water distribution. The pipe is approved for use with ASTM F1807 insert fittings and ASTM F2159 insert fittings, giving installers multiple connection options. Its flexibility allows routing around obstacles without additional fittings, reducing labor time and potential leak points. Licensed plumbers handling new construction, remodel, or repair work will find this coil format efficient for longer straight runs and radiant-style layouts.
This pipe is appropriate for both hot and cold potable water supply lines in residential and light commercial applications. It installs well in slab, crawlspace, and above-ceiling environments, and performs in wet or dry conditions as well as warm or cold climates. The PEX-B construction resists corrosion and chlorine, making it a practical long-term choice in systems where treated municipal water is present. The coil format suits home-run manifold systems, branch-and-tee layouts, and retrofit projects where rigid copper or CPVC is being replaced.

Installation Notes
Installation of PEX pipe in potable water systems is typically performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before making any connections or modifications to existing lines. Use the correct crimp rings, clamp rings, or expansion rings specified for the fitting type being used, and verify all connections with a go/no-go gauge where required. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the pipe minimum bend radius, and protect exposed sections from UV exposure and mechanical damage per manufacturer and code requirements.
