I have attached the link for the PEX-C pipe (https://www.homedepot.com/p/SharkBite-1-2-in-x-500-ft-Coil-Oxygen-Barrier-Radiant-Heating-PEX-C-Pipe-U860O500/202033044#product-overview) If you have any more questions about the description of the PEX-C pipe you can call tech support at 877-700-4242.

A:  I would advise using it inside use only. Outside products used need to be uv stable and must be able to be frozen without being compromised in cold climates. I would not use this product outside. It is made and works well for its intended purpose. Have used it for 3 seasons inside as designed and worked well for me.

A:  Hello, SharkBite oxygen barrier PEX tubing is suitable for outdoor use but must be protected from UV to prevent degradation. Typically, foam pipe insulation is suitable for protecting the tubing from U.V. It will also be important to prevent the water from freezing as this could cause damage to the tubing. If you have additional questions please don't hesitate to reach out to our technical support department at 877-700-4242. Best Regards,

A:  Yes. The difference is in the PEX pipe itself. Since ferrous components are likely to be present in a radiant system, it is important to use oxygen barrier PEX pipe to help prevent ferrous components from rusting.

A:  That is a question you would need to ask your local Home Depot Pro Desk associate.

A:  Best thing call your local prodesk..they can also tell you next delivery day available and packing details...some things get so damaged or stolen from driveway not worth it.

A:  Yes, our orange oxygen barrier PEX pipe is ideal for use for radiant floor and hydronic heating applications, our PEX tubing has an oxygen diffusion barrier that is applied to the exterior to limit oxygen permeation, which prevents corrosion of ferrous metal parts in the heating system.
