I'm using PEX pipes for water tubing, but I'm not sure which sleeve type should I use for hot and cold water pipes.
Whats the difference between black, blue and red sleeves? and which should I be using for hot and cold water pipes

The color is just for convenience. Making it easy to identify hot and cold pipes under a house for instance. The chemical makeup and temperature ratings are identical besides the actual dye used to color it.
