The pex performs as one would expect pex to perform, flexible yet a bit stiff. ( Careful not to bend beyond it's recommended turning radius to avoid kinks) you'll also want to be careful unspooling the pex, if you try to uncoil the spool of pex without rotating the coil you'll likely end up with a twisted mess as the tension builds up. But once you get familiar with the product it's nice to work with.

      Worled the same as the last roll. Didn't leak on the pressure test. Probably will hold up to the boiler water - haven't had the opportunity to try that yet.

      Overall I was happy with the price and curbside pickup for this item. The only reason that it didn't get 5 stars is that when i got received the item the original packaging had been damaged and the roll was taped back together. It was taped probably as good as it could have been but for anyone who has tried to unroll one of these it wasn't fun cause it was messed up. Overall I would buy it again and hope for a better roll.

      The 1" PEX is very hard to bend. Make sure you have plenty or room to bend around corners or plan to cut and install 90 deg corners. Also, if using crimp rings with a crimping tool made for 1/2", 3/4" & 1" like I did, you will need to slide cheater pipes onto the handles to get the crimp started.

      Great price on the 1000 ft roll, but beware, don’t try to thread it through in one pass without cutting to length first. It will twist and bind up on you, and if you’re unlucky, smack you in the face. You need to measure what you need, cut it, then untwist it so it’s close to straight.

        great product
        We bought this product to install hydronic heating in the floor of our new basement. Product exceeded our expectations, was easy to use, would definitely recommend to others and would purchase product again.

        Don't do it!
        This 1" PEX is nearly impossible to manipulate. If you are going with PEX because it is bendable - don't count on it with this size. I'm convinced there is no way to make this size PEX maintain any semblance of straight - it always wants maintain a curve from being coiled. It's not worth the frustration.

        Response from SharkBite SupportSep 24, 2015
        Thank you for your feedback, we recognize that the 100' Coil can be a bit stiff to work with, the larger the diameter of the pipe the less flexibility it will have. As a solution to this problem we began offering the 1" x 10' Straight stick in-stores in addition to online for situations exactly like yours. We also have a 20' Stick available through special order at the Home Depot Pro Desk. We apologize for the difficulty you had with the product and if we can ever assist you please call our customer service line @ 1-877-700-4242 SharkBiteCashAcme
