PEX-B pipe offers reliable flexibility and resistance to scale and chlorine, making it a common choice for new construction and remodel work. Weighing 0.287 pounds per unit, this pipe is lightweight and easy to handle in tight spaces. Licensed plumbers and knowledgeable installers use PEX-B pipe for hot and cold water lines where rigid copper or CPVC is impractical or cost-prohibitive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pipe is suited for residential and light commercial potable water distribution, radiant heating supply lines, and general plumbing rough-in work. Its flexibility allows routing through walls, floors, and joists with fewer fittings than rigid pipe. It is compatible with standard push-to-connect, crimp, and clamp fittings rated for PEX-B pipe. Installers working in new construction and retrofit projects alike rely on this format for its ease of handling and consistent performance under normal residential line pressure conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePEX-B construction provides flexibility and resistance to scale buildup and chlorine degradation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.287 pounds, reducing handling fatigue on extended runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with push-to-connect, crimp, and clamp-style PEX fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for both hot and cold potable water distribution lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlexible enough to navigate framing cavities with minimal fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard supply option for residential and light commercial PEX plumbing systems using push-to-connect, crimp, or clamp fittings rated for PEX-B pipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the IPC or applicable regional standard. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before cutting into any existing system. Use a dedicated PEX pipe cutter to ensure a clean, square cut before connecting to crimp, clamp, or push-to-connect fittings. Avoid kinking the pipe during routing and maintain minimum bend radius as specified by the fitting manufacturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: PEX-B\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.287 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Category\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plumbing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SHARKBITE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: U860B5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RWC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68088559239474,"sku":"U860B5","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d2f737b9da43cc1009763c05d2896922.jpg?v=1793201865","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/sharkbite-u860b5-pex-b-pipe","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
