The tubing is printed with the SharkBite imprint pattern, a visual depth-insertion guide that confirms the tube is fully seated inside a SharkBite push-fit fitting before the connection is finalized. Rated for potable water applications, this flexible PEX tubing is well suited for residential and light commercial plumbing rough-in and repair work. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tubing is designed for use in hot and cold potable water supply lines where a push-fit or crimp-style connection is required. The 5-foot stick format is practical for tight-space repairs, fixture supply drops, and branch-line extensions where full coil lengths are impractical. The blue color coding indicates cold-water service by convention, simplifying identification during and after installation. Each package contains 10 sticks, providing 50 linear feet of tubing per package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCross-linked polyethylene (PEX-A) construction rated for potable water applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch Copper Tube Size (CTS) diameter for compatibility with standard push-fit and crimp fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSharkBite imprint pattern provides a visual insertion-depth guide for push-fit fitting connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlue color coding indicates cold-water service for easy line identification\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5-foot stick format suits repairs and short branch runs where coil tubing is impractical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold in packages of 10 sticks (50 linear feet per package)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with SharkBite push-fit fittings and standard 1\/2-inch CTS crimp or clamp-style PEX fittings in potable water systems.
