Description
The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME U860W100 is a 0.5-inch CTS (Copper Tube Size) PEX-B pipe coil, 100 feet in length, supplied in white. Manufactured using the Type B silane cross-linking method, this pipe is rated for both hot and cold potable water applications. The silane process incorporates additional anti-oxidants and thermal stabilizers, making it well suited for chlorinated water systems and recirculation loops. Burst pressure is rated at 1,100 psi at 73 degrees F and 375 psi at 180 degrees F. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this pipe in residential and light commercial water distribution systems.
This PEX-B coil is designed for hot and cold water supply lines in residential and commercial plumbing. It is compatible with 0.5-inch Quick Connect and brass PEX insert fittings meeting ASTM SDR-9 standards. The white color is commonly used to identify cold water lines, though it may be used for any distribution run per the installer’s preference. Typical applications include under-slab runs, in-wall rough-in, manifold distribution systems, and potable water repiping projects.
