Sharkbite UA70W100 Type-a Pex Pipe Roll

Product Description

The SHARKBITE UA70W100 is a Type-A PEX pipe supplied in roll form, designed for use in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. Type-A PEX is manufactured using the Engel (peroxide) method, which produces a highly flexible pipe with shape memory - meaning it returns to its original form after expansion. This makes it well suited for tight routing conditions and expansion-style fitting connections. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this pipe for potable water distribution, radiant heating, and hydronic applications where flexible tubing is preferred over rigid pipe.

Type-A PEX pipe in roll form is standard in new residential construction and retrofit plumbing projects. It is commonly run through wall cavities, floor assemblies, and crawl spaces where flexibility reduces the need for elbows and fittings. The roll format simplifies handling and reduces waste on longer continuous runs. This product falls under the plumbing category and is sold in single-roll increments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and local jurisdiction requirements. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the system before making any connections. Use only tools and fittings rated and listed for Type-A PEX pipe to ensure a code-compliant, leak-free joint. Avoid kinking the pipe during installation; the shape memory of Type-A PEX allows minor deformation to be reversed with careful application of heat from a heat gun.
