Sharkbite UA60W100 Type-a Pex Pipe Roll

Product Description

The SHARKBITE UA60W100 is a Type-A PEX pipe supplied in roll form, designed for use in potable water distribution, radiant heating, and general plumbing systems. Type-A PEX is manufactured using the Engel (peroxide) cross-linking method, which produces a flexible pipe with shape memory - meaning it returns to its original diameter after expansion, making it compatible with expansion-style fittings. This pipe is a standard choice for licensed plumbers installing or repairing water supply lines in residential and light commercial applications. At 5.25 pounds per roll, it is lightweight and easy to handle on the job site.

Type-A PEX pipe in roll form is well suited for residential new construction and retrofit plumbing projects, including home-run manifold systems and radiant floor heating loops. Its flexibility allows it to navigate framing and structural members with fewer fittings than rigid pipe systems. Plumbers working in tight spaces or long-run supply applications commonly choose PEX-A roll stock for its bend radius advantages and freeze resistance compared to copper or CPVC.

Key Features

• Type-A (Engel method) PEX construction provides superior flexibility and shape memory

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard supply product for Type-A PEX plumbing systems using expansion-style fittings in residential and light commercial potable water and radiant heating installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and all applicable local codes. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the system before cutting or joining any pipe. Type-A PEX requires an expansion tool and compatible expansion rings or fittings - do not use crimp or clamp fittings designed for PEX-B or PEX-C without verifying fitting compatibility. Support spacing and minimum bend radius requirements specified by the manufacturer must be observed to prevent stress on connections.
