SharkBite

PEX Pipe must be properly supported to protect against excessive strain. For both vertical

and horizontal applications we recommend the pipe be supported every 32" between supports

(sizes 1" and smaller), leaving a little slack (1/8"-1/4") in the pipe to allow for normal expansion

and contraction. Always use approved PEX supports and never use a support that has sharp edges.

The SharkBite PEX Pipe can be submerged in concrete but we recommend following these guidelines to ensure a long lasting, maintenance-

free installation.

All SharkBite PEX Pipe is marked with:

Cross linking is a process that changes the chemical structure of high

density polyethylene used to make PEX Pipe, so that the polymer

chains are connected with each other in a three-dimensional matrix

by chemical bonds. PEX A, B and C are terms used to describe the

dierent manufacturing methods used to produce PEX Pipe, not

grades of PEX. Regardless of which manufacturing method is used,

all PEX Pipe meets the same ASTM standards for commercial and

residential plumbing applications.

CROSS LINKING METHODS

• Do not allow joints within the slab. Use a continuous

length of SharkBite PEX Pipe within the slab and be sure

to check for leaks before pouring concrete.

• Protect the SharkBite PEX Pipe with non-metallic

sleeves when entering or exiting the concrete slab.

A larger diameter piece of SharkBite PEX Pipe also

works well in this application.
