SharkBite 1/2 in x 100 ft Blue PEX-B Pipe (U806B100) – Flexible Water Tubing for Plumbing

Overview

Meet SharkBite 1/2 inch blue PEX-B tubing. This flexible piping comes in long coils, up to 1000 feet, which can support extended water-line runs with fewer joints. The distinctive blue color helps visually identify potable water circuits, while the coil format minimizes connections, potentially saving time and reducing leak points during installation and maintenance.

The pipe is designed to adapt to temperature changes and demanding environments. Its freeze resistant behavior allows it to expand and contract with water freezing and thawing, making it suitable for hot and cold potable water distribution, fire protection, and municipal service lines. The combination of flexibility and resilience aims to simplify routing in tight spaces and across complex layouts.

Key benefits at a glance

• Freeze resistant: expands and contracts with temperature changes, supporting reliability in varying climates and applications such as potable water, fire protection, and municipal lines.
• Easy installation: push-to-connect fittings enable fast connections with minimal tools, plus six-month UV resistance and strong chlorine resistance for durable performance.
• Pro-grade reliability: certified to meet oxidative-resistance standards for continuous hot water recirculation; approved for water service lines and burial, including under concrete.
• Coil convenience: long coil lengths reduce the number of joints and fittings, helping streamline projects and minimize potential leak points.
• Operating range and strength: designed to operate within a defined temperature and pressure window, supporting typical residential and commercial water distributions.

Real-world uses

• Routing hot and cold potable water in homes, apartments, or light commercial spaces with fewer joints.
• Outdoor or indoor installations where flexibility helps navigate obstacles and tight spaces.
• Underground service lines and buried runs, including applications beneath concrete when code allows.
• Municipal water service and fire protection projects that benefit from durable, pliable tubing with straightforward installation.

Installation tips and durability

• The push-to-connect design speeds up setup and reduces reliance on soldering or gluing.
• Six-month UV resistance offers practical protection for exposed runs, while high chlorine resistance supports treated water systems.
• Oxidative-resistance compliance aligns with expectations for continuous hot-water circulation in compliant installations.
