Sharkbite Sharkbite U870w5 Pex Stick Pipe, Hot/cold Water, White, 3/4 In. X 5 Ft.

SharkBite PEX Stick Pipe is a cross-linked polyethylene tubing designed for hot and cold potable water distribution systems. The white 3/4-inch rigid copper tube size (CTS) pipe comes in 5-foot lengths and is compatible with 3/4-inch quick-connect and brass PEX insert fittings. This Type B PEX pipe is manufactured using the silane method, which creates durable cross-links between polyethylene chains, resulting in superior anti-oxidant and thermal stabilizer properties that make it suitable for chlorine-resistant and continuously recirculating plumbing systems.

The pipe is rated at 1,100 PSI at 73°F and 375 PSI at 180°F, and comes with a comprehensive 25-year warranty that covers materials and labor, even when used with other manufacturers' ASTM SDR-9 certified fittings.
