Sharkbite U860W100 Pex-b Pipe 1/2 in 100 Ft White

Product Description

The SHARKBITE U860W100 is a white PEX-B flexible pipe with a 1/2-inch inside diameter and 100-foot length, rated for potable water distribution, fire protection, and municipal water service lines. With an 80 psi pressure rating and a temperature range of 33 degrees F to 200 degrees F, this pipe handles both hot and cold water supply runs. Its cross-linked polyethylene construction gives it enough flexibility to reduce the number of fittings required on a run, cutting labor time and minimizing potential leak points. Licensed plumbers and water service contractors install this pipe in residential and light commercial applications.

PEX-B pipe is well suited for hot and cold potable water distribution systems where flexible routing is an advantage over rigid copper or CPVC. The 1/2-inch ID size is a standard size for branch supply lines feeding fixtures such as sinks, toilets, and shower valves. The white color coding indicates a neutral designation, appropriate for either hot or cold service. Freeze-resistant characteristics allow the pipe to expand slightly under freezing conditions and return to its original dimension upon thawing, reducing the risk of pipe failure in unconditioned spaces.

Key Features

• PEX-B construction rated to 80 psi across its full temperature range
• Temperature rated from 33 degrees F to 200 degrees F for hot and cold service
• Flexible design reduces fittings needed per run, lowering material and labor costs
• Freeze-resistant pipe expands when frozen and contracts when thawed
• Suitable for potable water distribution, fire protection, and municipal water service lines
• 100-foot roll length reduces splice points on longer runs

Compatibility

Designed for use in residential and commercial potable water distribution systems, fire protection piping, and municipal water service line applications requiring 1/2-inch PEX-B flexible pipe.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements for PEX piping systems. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before cutting or connecting pipe. Use a proper PEX pipe cutter to ensure a clean, square cut at connection points. Do not kink the pipe during routing, and maintain minimum bend radius as required by the fitting manufacturer.
