Default How to block UV from PEX

Anyone have recommendations on how to block UV light from the PEX

not be exposed for more than 30 days and I won't have time to build
the soffit in the next 30 days. *Foil wraps, paint, etc? *Any
recommendations for something that'll be quick and easy?


Hang UV film in front of windows, if they are not dual pane you could
adhere the film to the glass, Most any box store has UV film, or
curtains in daytime even blankets or sheets or roll construstion
paper, it will save on AC costs as well. Its less trouble than
painting pipe.
