Sharkbite U880B10 Blue Pex Tubing 1 Inch X 10 Foot

Product Description

The SharkBite U880B10 is a 1-inch diameter blue PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) tubing in a 10-foot length, designed for potable water distribution in residential and commercial plumbing systems. The blue color coding identifies cold-water lines at a glance, a standard convention on the jobsite. Compatible with crimp, clamp, and push-to-connect installation methods, this tubing gives installers flexibility to work with whatever fitting system is already in use. A repeating SharkBite-imprinted pattern runs along the length of the tubing and acts as a visual depth gauge to confirm full insertion into push-to-connect fittings. This depth indicator functions correctly only when the tubing is cut between the imprint pattern markings.

This tubing is suited for a wide range of plumbing applications including domestic hot and cold water supply lines, branch lines, and retrofit work in both residential construction and light commercial settings. Plumbers and pipefitters working on new construction, remodel, or repair jobs will find the flexible nature of PEX advantageous in tight spaces and long runs where rigid pipe would require additional fittings. The tubing is approved for use in all potable water systems, making it code-acceptable across a broad range of jurisdictions.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before cutting or connecting tubing. When using the SharkBite imprint pattern as an insertion guide, always cut the tubing cleanly and squarely between the imprint markings to ensure the depth indicator reads accurately. Use a dedicated PEX cutter to achieve a clean, burr-free cut end before connecting to any fitting type.
