About SharkBite U860W100, White PEX-B Pipe-Potable Water, 1/2 Inch, 100 Ft
Overall Feedback:
79% positive
81% praised for its long-lasting material, while 19% experienced early degradation
The product is cost-effective, durable, and easy to use when running water lines. Its rigidity issues can be resolved by using cutters and elbow attachments.
I left the tubing-hose in the hot sun for days and it still kept returning to its coiled shape, making it difficult to run.
It is suggested to roll out the material beside the trench, untwist it as much as possible, warm it up, and let it sit in the sun for a day before putting it in the trench.
86% found it easy to install, while 14% struggled with the connections
I had to return the product because it was larger than expected, indicating difficulty with installation.
77% liked its flexibility, but 23% found it too stiff
I find the tubing-hoses rather stiff, making it difficult to bend around corners. However, I learned a tip on how to make it flex and relax more easily.
The tubing-hoses have been on a tight reel for so long that it is difficult to straighten them out for any practical application.
80% liked the performance
Despite its rigidity issues, I find the product better and easier to work with than solid piping. Cutters and elbow attachments can be used to get around the rigidity issues.
I think the material quality is good and well made, but it's better to double check the sizes.
73% like the perfect size and fit, but 27% found it tight
I couldn't straighten out the coiled tubing-hoses and had trouble connecting the fittings without leakage.
