Sharkbite UA60B10 Pex-a Pipe 1/2 Inch X 10 Feet Blue

Product Description

The SHARKBITE UA60B10 is a 1/2-inch diameter blue PEX-A pipe sold in 10-foot lengths, designed for residential and commercial plumbing systems. PEX-A is a cross-linked polyethylene tubing that offers superior flexibility compared to rigid copper or CPVC, allowing it to bend around obstacles with fewer fittings and fewer potential leak points. The blue color designation indicates cold-water lines by convention, though the material itself is suitable for both hot and cold applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this product in new construction and retrofit projects alike.

This PEX-A pipe is suited for potable water distribution systems in residential homes and light commercial buildings. Its flexibility makes it well adapted to tight spaces, crawl spaces, and retrofit runs where rigid pipe would require multiple elbows or couplings. The 10-foot length is practical for a wide range of plumbing rough-in and finish work. PEX-A material also resists corrosion and has inherent freeze-damage resistance due to its ability to expand under freezing conditions.

Key Features

• PEX-A cross-linked polyethylene construction for maximum flexibility and freeze resistance
• Compatible with PEX F-1960 expansion fittings, EvoPEX fittings, and PEX F-1807/2159 fittings
• Blue color coding for easy identification of cold-water lines
• Corrosion-resistant material eliminates pitting and scale buildup common in metal pipe
• Flexible tubing reduces the number of fittings required per run, lowering labor and leak-point count

Compatibility

Compatible with PEX F-1960 expansion fittings, EvoPEX fittings, and PEX F-1807/2159 crimp and clamp fittings as stated by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC requirements for PEX tubing systems. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before making any connections. Use the appropriate expansion, crimp, or clamp tool specified for the fitting type being used — do not attempt to join PEX-A with fittings not rated for F-1960 or F-1807/2159 standards. Support spacing and minimum bend radius requirements should follow the tubing manufacturer guidelines and applicable code.
