Supply Giant PEX-B Pipe 1/2 In x 500 Ft White Tubing for Plumbing, Potable Water Line for Home Improvement, Indoor/Outdoor 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.

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.

A good deal for PEX tubing. easy to install with the right tools and fittings/couplings. Beware the push in couplings, as those tend to not always seal well, and are a lot costlier, especially when you are doing a lot of new plumbing and repairs. Stick with one or the other crimp connectors, as there are two types, and use different tools. I bought the kind that have a part that can be crimped with a different tool in an emergency, and are easier to remove without special tools. Anyway, I rate 5 stars.

Great product for anyone to use

Not ALL Pex are created equal! the wall thickness differs (half OD-ID) from some other (Sharkbite) pieces I was using so this seems a little looser on the terminations when trial fitting, but the crimps squash it all up snugly just the same. : )

I'm restoring and remodeling a cabin from scratch - it's been torn out down to the bare studs for this project. This is the first time the cabin has ever had running water, so I'm doing all the plumbing from scratch. I've never actually done any plumbing beyond fixing a toilet or swapping out a faucet, so I am learning as I go. The first thing I learned was to go with PEX for ease of installation and maintenance. This particular roll of cold water pipe (blue) was exactly as expected and damage free. I got half of it put in today, by myself. It flexes just enough to make minor curves without kinking and it fits the 1/2 inch clamps from Lowe's correctly. I had no trouble making the t connections using the crimps and t fittings from the local big box stores. So far, I'm really pleased and super happy to be able to do this project myself.

I bought this to add a water hose outlet to my house, as when they removed the old PVC and copper fixtures throughout they erroneously skipped in replacing the water outlet. After buying the clamps ($5), the clamping tool ($30), Pex water hose faucet ($25), pex cutter ($15), this hose ($20) and Pex T-joint ($5) I was relieved that the most expensive item on the list was the actual clamping tool. This hose was easy to install, running it through the path of the old copper pipe, flexing out of its bound shape wasn't hard at all - and it matched with the existing PEX pipe without issue. Installed now for over two months, I am happy to report there's been no leaks, issues of any kind. Just as solid as the stuff the renovators bought from Lowes. Get this.

I bought this line to get water a little over a thousand feet from a spring to my livestock, although this wasn't exactly enough footage I made it work with what I had, this pex is the real deal, since i purchased it weve had severly cold weather, below freezing, and even though water froze up solid in the line, no damages done, thawed out and ran without leaks again, awesome value,
