Sharkbite U880W20 Pex-b Pipe 1 in 20 Ft White

Product Description

The SHARKBITE U880W20 is a 20-foot length of PEX-B flexible pipe with a 1-inch inside diameter and a 1-1/8-inch outside diameter, finished in white. Rated to 80 psi and designed for temperatures from 33 degrees F to 200 degrees F, this pipe is built for residential and light commercial potable water distribution. PEX-B construction gives the pipe slight freeze-resistance - it can expand under freezing conditions and contract when thawed, reducing the risk of burst failure. Licensed plumbers and pipe installers use this pipe in new construction and retrofit applications where flexibility and fewer connection points are a priority.

This pipe is suited for hot and cold potable water distribution, fire protection systems, and municipal water service lines. Its flexibility reduces the total number of fittings required in a run, which lowers labor time and minimizes potential leak points compared to rigid pipe systems. The white color coding is standard for non-designated hot or cold lines, making it adaptable across general distribution layouts. It is commonly used in residential plumbing rough-ins, under-slab runs, and wall-cavity installations where rigid copper or CPVC would require additional elbows and couplings.

Key Features

• PEX-B construction with freeze-resistance - expands slightly when frozen, contracts when thawed
• 80 psi pressure rating suitable for standard residential and light commercial water distribution
• Wide temperature range of 33 degrees F to 200 degrees F covers both cold and hot water lines
• Flexible design reduces the number of connection points, cutting install time and potential leak locations
• 1-inch inside diameter supports higher-flow trunk lines and main distribution runs
• White color for non-designated or general-use potable water applications

Compatibility

Designed for use in hot and cold potable water distribution systems, fire protection applications, and municipal water service lines. Compatible with standard PEX fittings and connection systems sized for 1-inch PEX-B pipe with a 1-1/8-inch outside diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the main water supply and depressurize the system before cutting or connecting pipe. PEX-B pipe requires compatible crimp, clamp, or push-to-connect fittings rated for the pipe outside diameter - confirm fitting compatibility before installation. Avoid exposing PEX pipe to direct UV light for extended periods, as prolonged sunlight exposure can degrade the material.
