Default How to block UV from PEX

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

pipes, but want an interim solution since I've read that PEX should
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?


Wrap them in in foam rubber tubing or whatever the correct term is.
