Sharkbite UA60B10 Pex-a Pipe

Product Description

The SHARKBITE UA60B10 is a PEX-A pipe designed for use in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. PEX-A is manufactured using the Engel method, which produces a highly flexible, cross-linked polyethylene pipe with superior bend recovery compared to PEX-B and PEX-C alternatives. This pipe is suited for potable water distribution, radiant heating, and hydronic applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this product as part of new construction or remodel work where flexible piping is preferred over rigid copper or CPVC runs.

PEX-A pipe is commonly used in residential water supply systems, in-floor radiant heat installations, and commercial plumbing retrofits. Its flexibility allows it to navigate framing cavities and around obstructions with fewer fittings than rigid pipe. The UA60B10 is sold per each unit and is part of the SHARKBITE plumbing product line, which is widely used by plumbing professionals for reliable, code-compliant installations across a broad range of system types.

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 system before cutting or connecting any piping. Use only tools and fittings rated for PEX-A pipe, and ensure all connections meet manufacturer and code requirements for the intended application. Do not expose PEX pipe to direct sunlight for extended periods during or after installation.
