Maximum Working Pressure
160psi @ 73.4°F (23°C)
100psi @ 180°F (80°C)
80psi @ 200°F (93°C)
Thermal Expansion
Since SharkBite PEX Pipe will expand and contract during temperature
changes, please allow slack when running the pipe through the building.
SharkBite PEX Pipe will expand and contract at a rate of approximately
1.1" per 100 feet of Pipe for each 10°F change in temperature (see
equation below). We recommend that osets and expansion loops be
used as ways to compensate for expansion and contraction.
