What’s not to like about PEX-B Pipe? Excellent choice for replacing old fragile, split or cracked, frozen PVC or PVC water lines. PEX-B is flexible and remains flexible. Though available in white, why not replace lines with BLUE or RED PEX-B Pipe to quickly and easily identify Hot and Cold water lines without having to trace lines back to their source. A quick glance and you’ll know if you’re working with Hot (RED) or Cold (BLUE) water lines in the future. Quick and easy to cut, install and use with SharkBite® couplings. PEX-B Pipe and SharkBite® ARE the future of plumbing and with good reason. No, purple primer, no stinky glue, no wait time for drying. When used with SharkBite® couplings, everything is push to connect easy. The stainless steel “teeth” in the SharkBite® couplings bite into the pipe, preventing the pipe from popping back out. With the proprietary chlorine resistant “O” ring, in the couplings, you can be assured of no leaks with SharkBite®’s 25 year warranty.

For this to work you have to purchase a special tool. $80.00 and the person selling plumbing had no idea of that or anything else in that department.

I did not use this for water but for a marker on edge of my snow blade. When plowing snow I needed something flexible that would not break when snow or tree branches hit it. Pex tubing is cheaper than the fiberglass rods that come with the snow blade and work better than the fiberglass rods.

Easy to cut into custom lengths; I’m using it to support hail netting over my garden beds. Some people use PVC pipe, and that might be better because this is pretty flexible, but overall it works well.

This was more than enough for my project and worked well for what I needed.

The 1/2 ” PEX tube X 50 feet is fine. I ordered on line and it took a long time to arrive. I don’t know why the store doesn’t just let me buy part of a long roll. I can buy wire and chain by the foot, why not PEX tubing. I don’t always need 100 feet. It all gets sold in the end with out the wait. Go get it, get it installed.

I ordered at 10:30 PM. It was ready at 7:15 the next morning. I drove up, told them I was there, and they were out in less than 5 minutes. Nice job !!!

I have built and currently live in my tiny house and I used Uponor Pex products for the entire build. I never once experienced any problems or leakage with their products.
When I wanted to add a line for my washer, I saw that sold Pex-A piping and that it was about $15 cheaper than Uponor. I figured that since it met all of the requirements to be called Pex-A that it would be just as good. This was incorrect.
I experienced leaks multiple times with new Sharkbite fittings (brass & plastic). I had to redo multiple sections due to leaks and I do not trust this product at all. I will be swapping this out with Uponor products as soon as they come in this week.
I noticed that this product does not seal properly when using Sharkbite’s Pex-A 1/2″ rings. Literally 50% of the time it would leak and I’d have to start over. I then tried using some of my remaining Uponor rings and found that I no longer experienced any leakage. It also takes about twice as long for the connection to feel tight when installed. I don’t like how easy it is to rotate the fittings when compared to Uponor’s (Very snug). I may have had a bad batch, but in the future I’ll just stick with Uponor.
— I used the Milwaukee’s M12 ProPex tool to do the expanding.
