People also ask, is SharkBite PEX A?SharkBite® PEX pipe is a cross-linked polyethylene tubing that provides an excellent option for plumbing, radiant and hydronic systems in both residential and commercial plumbing applications. PEX pipe is made from cross-linked HDPE (high density polyethylene).One may also ask, will SharkBite work on PEX AL PEX? OmniGrip push fittings are fully compatible with SharkBite fittings and can fully replace the latter. They can be used with standard PEX, copper and CPVC pipe sizes. Additionally, which is better PEX A or PEX B? PEX-A is the most flexible of all PEX tubing types, has little or no coil memory and gives installer an ability to repair kinks with a heat gun. First and foremost is a high rate of chemical leaching – from 50% to over 200% higher than PEX-B (2), which is a major concern for plumbing applications.What type of PEX tubing should I use?There are three different types of PEX tubing: PEX-a, PEX-b and PEX-c. Uponor manufactures PEX-a tubing, which is considered the superior type of PEX in the industry because the crosslinking is done during the manufacturing process when polyethylene is in its amorphic state (above the crystalline melting point).
