U860R20 PEX Stick Pipe, Red, 1/2 In. CTS X 20 Ft.

SharkBite PEX Stick Pipe is a cross-linked polyethylene pipe designed for residential and commercial hot water plumbing applications. The red color designates this pipe for use in hot water distribution systems where it works with 1/2-inch Quick Connect and Brass PEX Insert Fittings. This 20-foot length is ideal for residential hot water distribution and upgrading water heating systems.

PEX is a cross-linked polyethylene material manufactured without an oxygen barrier for potable water systems. The Type B Silane method construction includes additional anti-oxidants and thermal stabilizers that provide enhanced performance in recirculation systems and applications exposed to chlorinated water. A repeating SharkBite imprint pattern on the pipe provides a visual aid to verify proper insertion into push-to-connect fittings.
