PEX-B Pipe 1/2 In x 300 Ft White Tubing for Plumbing, Potable Water Line for Home Improvement, Indoor/Outdoor Use

Great price and great quality

I bought this Pex-B tubing because it was the cheapest 1 inch Pex tubing I could find. It worked for replumbing my basement. Replaced all of the gray polypropylene and white CPVC tubing. Went from the supply coming into the house through the basement wall over to the water heater, to a sink in the basement, and to the copper pipes supplying the upstairs. Used about 80 feet of the 100 foot roll. Used for both hot and cold water. It is very stiff and not flexible. Very hard to get into the preformed plastic 90 degree brackets. Had to use hose clamps tightened with a socket to force the tubing into the 90 degree brackets at corners. Had six corners to do. Now I wish I had spent $50 extra at Menards and bought the more flexible Pex-A tubing instead of this cheaper inflexible Pex-B on Amazon. But it worked and looks OK on the ceiling and walls of the basement. Pex-B connections are easy to use.

I'm not sure I'm the best person to review this product, as I'm not going to be using it for plumbing. However, I have used it for hoop houses before, and it's a good sturdy pipe for that. Not as sturdy as PVC, but not as expensive either. Anybody buying pipe for hoop houses, don't use that black drip irrigation pipe. You will regret it. It's too thin walled and will kink when you look at it funny. This 1/2" PEX is not as good as the 3/4", but it'll do the job as long as your diameters aren't overlarge. I'm just using this for small hoops (1' X 4') to protect seedlings from our unpredictable June frosts, and on my small (10' X 5') strawberry beds.

Works great. But if you need it to be straight - buy 1"x8' PVC tubing. REALLY helps.

Great product for anyone to use

These past few months since March I have not had plumbing. I tried 5 plumbers - 5 grown men who claim they are professional plumbers - take a look at the house I lived in and ran screaming for the hills. So I decided to just do the plumbing on my own - a female epileptic with a herniated disc. And I am slowly but surely getting my plumbing done all by myself. So if I can do it, you can too! You don't need to bother with calling plumbers you can do it yourself. So long as you have Pex starting in from your house you can do your own plumbing. I always thought it was going to be impossible and that I'd have to move out of my 140+ year home. And thought a lot about killing myself because I thought it was hopeless. But, it's not. Just do your research and measure things twice. Then, a third time because probably what you think will work the first time won't (Haha). My best advice is to not even try to cut the metal pipe and try to screw it off so you have a joint to adapt the Pex to. Don't bother with that. I spent a lot of money and time just trying to cut pipe that went up to a second floor bathroom so I could hook on. Don't do that, just make a hole in the floor (I did mine with a large screwdriver and hammer) and guided the pipe through the second floor, into the wall where the toilet stack is & got the Pex pipe into the basement and I only put 2 holes through the wall (large enough to fit my hand through) so I could guide the Pex down to the unfinished basement which you can stand up in so it's not a crawl space - any plumber/handyman could have done it. My best advice is to not only get 1/2 inch Pex pipe but to also get 3/4inch Pex - the main leads are done in 3/4 and the smaller leads to toilets and faucets are 1/2 inch Pex. It also helps if the faucets you install have Pex ends so you don't have to put Pex adapters onto them (fewer connections, fewer leaks you have to worry about. Then finally get the kind of Pex rings that are just a solid ring that you need to use a clamp on. NOT the kind that you pinch on the sides - this was a mistake that I made and it cost me a lot of time and money and frustration. You do have to buy 2 sizes of tools ( I thought I'd save money by just getting the one tool that did both sizes) BIG mistake! Something went wrong with the tool and although my connections were Go on the No Go gauge. They leaked, so I had to cut out the connection and replace the connection. So those are my tips. I hope this helps people who can't get reliable plumbers in their area. You can do it yourself. even if you have a handicap like me. Just take your time, you can do it.

Worked extremely well. It made it through the winter only freezing on outside drain but haven’t had a problem. Will only use pex from now on…

Exactly what I wanted came on time very good packs I use crimpers had no problem
