Sharkbite UA70R10 Pex-a Pipe

Product Description

The SHARKBITE UA70R10 is a PEX-A pipe designed for use in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. PEX-A is the most flexible grade of cross-linked polyethylene tubing, offering superior kink resistance and the ability to expand for compatible push-to-connect and expansion-style fittings. This pipe is a standard choice for plumbers installing domestic water distribution, radiant heating loops, and repiping applications where flexibility and ease of routing through walls and framing are priorities.

This pipe is suited for new construction and retrofit plumbing installations. Its flexibility makes it well suited for running through tight spaces, around obstacles, and in applications where rigid copper or CPVC would require additional fittings. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers, though knowledgeable DIYers working on permitted projects also use PEX-A for residential water supply lines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the system before cutting into any existing lines. Use only tools and fittings rated for PEX-A pipe, as PEX-A requires expansion-style or compatible push-to-connect connections rather than crimp or clamp methods. Support spacing and minimum bend radius requirements should follow the pipe manufacturer guidelines and local code.
