Sharkbite UA70B100 Pex-a Pipe Roll

Product Description

The SHARKBITE UA70B100 is a PEX-A flexible pipe supplied in roll form for use in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. PEX-A is the most flexible grade of cross-linked polyethylene tubing, offering superior bend radius and resistance to kinking compared to PEX-B and PEX-C. This tubing is designed for potable water distribution, hydronic heating, and radiant floor applications. Licensed plumbers and mechanical contractors install this product during rough-in and retrofit work where rigid copper or CPVC is impractical or cost-prohibitive.

This roll of PEX-A tubing is suited for hot and cold water supply lines in residential construction and remodeling projects. It is compatible with expansion-style fittings and push-to-connect fittings designed for PEX-A pipe. The flexible nature of the tubing allows it to be routed through walls, floors, and joists with minimal fittings. It is commonly used in manifold-based home-run distribution systems as well as trunk-and-branch layouts.

Key Features

• PEX-A construction provides maximum flexibility and kink resistance among PEX grades
• Supplied in roll form for continuous runs with fewer joints
• Compatible with expansion-style and push-to-connect PEX-A fittings
• Suitable for potable water, hydronic heating, and radiant floor applications
• Lightweight tubing reduces handling weight compared to rigid pipe

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation tubing for residential and light commercial plumbing systems using PEX-A pipe fittings and manifold systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before cutting into any existing system. Use the appropriate expansion tool for PEX-A expansion fittings and allow the pipe to return to ambient temperature before making connections in cold conditions. Support spacing and burial depth requirements vary by jurisdiction and should be confirmed with local code.
