Sized at 3\/4 inch Copper Tube Size (CTS), each stick measures 5 feet in length and ships in a package quantity of 10. The tubing features a SharkBite imprint pattern printed along its surface — a visual alignment guide that allows the installer to confirm the tube is fully seated inside a SharkBite push-fit fitting before the connection is made. Red color coding follows standard convention for hot-water lines, making system identification straightforward during rough-in and service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tubing is suited for hot-water supply runs in residential construction, remodel work, and repair applications where PEX is the preferred material. It is compatible with SharkBite push-fit fittings and standard 3\/4 inch CTS PEX crimp and clamp fittings. Typical install scenarios include domestic hot-water branch lines, manifold-fed home-run runs, and stub-outs where flexibility and freeze resistance are advantages over rigid copper. Licensed plumbers and qualified plumbing contractors are the primary installers.\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 service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/4 inch CTS sizing fits SharkBite push-fit fittings and standard CTS crimp or clamp connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePrinted SharkBite imprint pattern provides a clear visual insertion-depth indicator\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRed color coding identifies hot-water lines at a glance during installation and service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5-foot stick length suits short runs, repairs, and branch connections without excess waste\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold in a package of 10 sticks for job-site efficiency\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 3\/4 inch CTS PEX crimp and clamp-style fittings for potable water applications.\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 ASTM F876\/F877 standards for PEX tubing. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before cutting into any existing piping. Use a proper PEX cutter to make a clean, square cut — do not use a hacksaw or utility knife, as ragged cuts compromise push-fit seals. When inserting into SharkBite fittings, advance the tube until the imprint pattern is no longer visible at the fitting face to confirm full engagement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inch CTS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cross-Linked Polyethylene (PEX)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Potable water\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 sticks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: EA\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\/CASH ACME\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: U870R5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SHARKBITE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51559402406194,"sku":"U870R5","price":43.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6dd656c27c586d72bba00b3383529c84.jpg?v=1786431383","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/sharkbite-u870r5-red-pex-tubing-3-4-inch-cts-5-foot","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
