SharkBite PEX coil pipe delivers a flexible, durable solution for hot and cold water distribution in residential plumbing systems. This 100-foot white coil is used with 3/4-inch quick connect and brass PEX insert fittings. PEX pipe's inherent flexibility allows it to bend around corners and obstacles without rigid elbows and connectors, reducing the number of fittings needed and minimizing potential leak points.
The pipe is freeze-resistant and can expand slightly if water freezes inside, then contract when thawed, protecting your plumbing system during winter months. Type B silane-cross-linked PEX construction includes enhanced anti-oxidants and thermal stabilizers, making it suitable for chlorinated water systems and recirculation applications. Available in a 100-foot coil, this product provides longer runs and fewer connections, reducing cost, time and potential leak points compared to shorter pipe sections.
