SHARKBITE PEX TUBING
SharkBite PEX tubing is a cross-linked polyethylene tubing
for a wide range of residential and commercial plumbing
applications. Manufactured without an oxygen barrier for
potable water systems (available in white, blue, and red)
and with an oxygen barrier for radiant floor and hydronic
heating applications (available in orange). The oxygen
diffusion barrier applied to the exterior limits oxygen
permeation through the tubing wall in hydronic heating
applications which prevents corrosion of ferrous metal
parts in the heating system.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
 Flexible: Easy to install and service.
 Quieter: Minimizes noise caused by water
hammer.
 Resists corrosion and scale buildup: Improves the
performance of the plumbing system.
 Fewer fittings required: Reduces total installation
cost.
 Fewer joints: Reduces the chances of call backs.
 Pressure test immediately: No waiting for glue to
dry or joints to cool
A repeating SharkBite imprint pattern provides a visual aid to determine if the
tube has been inserted all the way into the SharkBite Push-Fit Fitting. This
feature only works if the tubing is cut between the SharkBite imprint pattern.
