Sharkbite U860W2 Pex Tubing 1/2 Inch Cts 2 Foot White

Product Description

The SHARKBITE U860W2 is a cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) tube stick designed for potable water distribution in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. Sized at 1/2 inch Copper Tube Size (CTS) and cut to a 2-foot length, this white PEX stick is compatible with SharkBite push-fit fittings straight out of the package. A factory-printed SharkBite imprint pattern runs along the length of the tube, giving installers a clear visual indicator to confirm full insertion depth into any SharkBite push-fit fitting. Plumbers and pipefitters use this tubing for supply line repairs, short runs, and retrofit work where flexibility and speed of assembly matter.

This PEX stick is suited for potable cold and hot water supply applications in residential and commercial plumbing. The 2-foot stick length makes it practical for tight utility spaces, under-sink repairs, manifold branch connections, and anywhere a short, precise run is needed without cutting down a full coil. The white color coding is commonly associated with cold water lines, though the tubing is rated for both hot and cold service. It ships in a package quantity of 60 sticks, making it a practical choice for plumbing contractors stocking service vans or shop inventory.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before cutting or joining tubing. Ensure the tube end is cut cleanly and squarely — a deburring tool or PEX cutter is recommended to avoid insertion failures in push-fit fittings. Verify full insertion by confirming the imprint pattern is no longer visible past the fitting collar before restoring water pressure.
