SharkBite 1/2 in PEX-A Blue Tubing, 100 ft – Flexible USA-Made Water Pipe

Overview

SharkBite 1/2 inch x 100 foot blue PEX-A tubing is designed for hot and cold potable water systems. The flexible coil lets you shape long runs with fewer fittings, which can help streamline installation and reduce potential leak points in tight spaces, crawl spaces, and under slabs. The blue color aids quick identification during projects and renovations.

Streamlined installation and broad compatibility

Built to bend around corners without elbows, this tubing supports cold expansion with fluted-end fittings for smoother water flow. It plays nicely with multiple connection methods, including PEX expansion (F1960), push-to-connect (ASSE 1061), plastic crimps (ASTM F2159), and brass crimps (ASTM F1807), making it a versatile choice for a range of plumbing standards.

Durability and protection

Constructed from PEX-A, the tubing reduces stray joints and supports faster installs compared with rigid alternatives. It also offers practical UV tolerance, helping the tubing hold up if limited sun exposure occurs during outdoor or exposed runs. This combination of flexibility and resilience makes it a dependable option for many residential projects.
