SharkBite3/4 Inch x 100 Feet White PEX-B, PEX Pipe Flexible Water Tubing for Plumbing, U870W100

Value for the money was in good condition and fast shipping

I am an engineer and residential contractor. Plumbing repair is my least favorite task. I'll admit, I did not believe the hype, but went ahead anyway. Worked great. So far, so good. Immediate repair - NO leaks, no fire danger, no glue, no getting 50 fittings, minimal prep and minimal tools.

IDK if you were expecting a review about Pex-B : It's pex-b and is 100' long & red. That's not really the point. What I really love is the thought process of this category manager for heading down this road with the wholesaler or SharkBite themselves. For me, this is one of those products which just really hits me in a spot to be able to order with the associative benefits of Prime and the store card.PEX-B as a solution is DIY heaven. All the parts for a reliable, code-compliant whole house & crimped conversion are easy to find & highly available. That right there has never been my experience with big box store inventories for Pex-B nor SharkBite. One critical component is always an empty shelf at the box store. Not conducive to completing a project! Via Amazon, arrival is reliable enough to plan around and I know that, if I've had an gap in planning, I can have an extra part in a day and it will be exactly the right thing vs staring at an empty box store shelf and having to wing it with whatever happens to be there that day. That assurance is enough to get me thinking about doing renovations full time : you can build a business around this supply chain.

Back story: I discovered I had a slab leak on my hot water line under my bathroom and upon further investigation discovered a cold water leak under my entryway. Being in Ventura County, CA our water is hard and my tract home was made cheap. It was built 30 years ago with copper in the slab foundation. The plastic sheathing they used to isolate the copper from the concrete was super thin and subsequently eroded as the pipes expanded and contracted with temperature. This lead to major corrosion of the copper (especially in the hot water line) from the outside and the predominance of minerals in our hot water corroded the insides of the copper. I knew this would be a problem when I bought the house, as I have lived in the neighborhood for a while. Many neighbors have all had similar issues and paid big money to patch or re-pipe.My background: I am an avid DIY-er with just about every type of project. Electrical, plumbing, heating/AC, appliances, etc. I have patched and repaired many types of plumbing including copper, galvie, ABS, and PVC. I was new to PEX. What I did: I did a lot of research before making the purchase and weighed all of my options. I considered paying a plumber, doing it myself, using copper, and using PEX. I decided on PEX and wanted to do a manifold system so I can easily remodel my bathrooms in the future without turning off the whole house water supply. My house is a 1550sqft single-story house with 2 full bathrooms. I opted to replace the 1" copper line where it comes in to the garage from the shut-off valve outside and run it to the manifold location near the water heater. I split the 1" copper with a "T" and reduced it to 3/4" copper to the water heater supply and the cold-water side of the manifold. I used 3/4" SharkBite PEX stubs to feed into the manifold for a little flexibility. I ran 1/2" PEX to each fixture. I used red PEX for hot and blue PEX for cold. I wanted to reduce the amount of fitting and connectors in the system, but used 1/2" PEX to used copper stub-outs with new compression fitting valves to lead to each fixture; I didn't like the idea of the PEX sticking out of the walls. I used the stainless cinch-ring clips because the crimper is a bit smaller and fits in tighter spaces. I opted for the 100' rolls of the PEX so I could have a direct shot to each fixture without any unions along the way.The Review: PEX, though flexible, is still fairly rigid and a bit tough to uncoil, but much better than copper. With a little patience and coercion, I was able to thread it through the headers and down the walls with minimal drywall cutting. I used 90-degree angle guides to protect the bends. Using the cinch rings at the connection points was easy. It took me 53 hours of work over the span of 4 days to complete the project (drywall repair included). It would have been a bit faster, but I had to cut a hole in part of my roof to access a header above the kitchen sink.Bottom Line: I am beyond thrilled with this product and how easy it was to install. I was able to re-pipe my entire house by myself in a few days for less than $1000. The copper portion alone cost me $300, so that puts the PEX at $700.

I used this product for ease and economical to replace copper at my shower diverter.

Work just as I expected.Perfect

This pex pipe was exactly what we need for our project. We were hooking into our well water supply line and installing frost free hydrants around the property so that we don't have to use 200'+ of hose to water our live stock this winter. This is legit Sharkbite Pex like you would get from the box stores. It was a little difficult to work with at first when you first open the bundle, luckily it was still warm during the day so we opened it and let it lay in the sun. Then we fastened one end to a post and pulled the other end while twisting it. Once it was pulled out it wasn't as difficult to work will.It connected together to our fittings easily and we had zero leaks on the project. We used the clamps on all fittings and no sharkbite fittings. Since it would be buried 3' in the ground and we wouldn't have the need to reuse the fittings.We will also be pulling this pex pipe through a 2" HDPE pipe thats already in the ground, our contractor plowed in electrical conduit instead of water certified pipe for our main water line to our build site. I will try to update my review after we get that project completed.Overall I'm very happy with the product and you can't beat the price!

Perfect for DIY

Had a trailer hot water leak. Had to crawl under trailer, cut out old and replaced it with the red water pipe with Shark bite fittings. It isn't extremely flexible so make sure you get the cut right but it worked well and have lots of red leftover for any other issues.

Muy bien, muy rápido servicio, excelente calidad.
