Sharkbite U870B2 Blue Pex Tubing 3/4 Inch Cts 2 Foot

Product Description

The SHARKBITE U870B2 is a 2-foot blue PEX stick made from cross-linked polyethylene (PEX-A) designed for potable water distribution systems. It carries a 3/4-inch Copper Tube Size (CTS) outside diameter, making it directly compatible with SharkBite push-fit fittings. The tube is printed with the SharkBite imprint pattern, a built-in visual reference that lets the installer confirm full insertion depth before the fitting is pressurized. Plumbers and pipefitters working on residential or light commercial water supply lines install this tubing as a flexible, corrosion-resistant alternative to rigid copper or CPVC pipe.

This PEX tubing is suited for residential and light commercial potable water supply applications, including hot and cold water distribution lines. The 2-foot stick length is practical for repair work, short runs, and tight spaces where a full coil or longer stick would be difficult to maneuver. It is sold in a package quantity of 30 sticks, making it appropriate for stocking a service van or supplying a job site with pre-cut sections. The blue color convention indicates cold water lines, helping crews maintain consistent visual organization in multi-line installations.

Compatibility

Designed for use with SharkBite push-fit fittings sized for 3/4-inch CTS tubing. Suitable as a potable water supply tubing in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where PEX is an approved material.

Installation Notes

This tubing is installed by licensed plumbers in jurisdictions where PEX is an approved piping material under the applicable plumbing code such as the IPC or UPC. Deburr and round the tube end before insertion into any push-fit or crimp fitting to ensure a leak-free joint. Always verify local code acceptance of PEX for potable water before roughing in. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before cutting into any existing system.
