Last piece of Zurn PEX I saw was white with black markings and an NSF listing but that was at least a couple years ago.

It's is the markings on the pipe. . . It's the information provided that is important. Rehau & Uponor have their standard white PEX tube listed by both UL & NSF. The Pressure rating for UL is 130psi @ 120 degree F. I think it's ZURN that has black tubing with orange printing. Same rating.
