Jones Stephens c76935 Pex-b Tubing 1/2 in X 20 Ft Blue

Product Description

The JONES STEPHENS c76935 is a 1/2-inch PEX-B straight length tubing supplied in a 20-foot stick and color-coded blue for cold-water identification. Made from crosslinked polyethylene using the silane (B-method) process, this tubing is rated to 160 psi and a maximum temperature of 203 degrees F, making it suitable for residential and light commercial potable water distribution. The outside diameter measures 5/8 inches, consistent with standard 1/2-inch nominal PEX dimensions. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this product as part of new construction or retrofit water supply systems.

This tubing is approved for potable water applications and is designed for use with insert-style fittings conforming to ASTM F1807 and F2159, as well as other compatible OD-tube insert fittings. The straight-length format simplifies measurement and cutting on the job, reducing waste compared to coiled stock. It is suitable for in-wall, in-slab, and open-bay installations in residential homes, multifamily buildings, and light commercial plumbing systems where flexible, corrosion-resistant supply piping is required.
