Bend Supports
Bend supports for PEX tubing are used to maintain controlled curvature when the tubing changes direction. While PEX tubing is flexible, it can kink or form irregular bends that restrict flow or stress the material. Bend supports ensure the tubing maintains its internal diameter and structural integrity. Bend supports are typically used in lieu of elbow fittings where a smooth radius bend is preferred, improving flow characteristics and reducing the number of mechanical connections in the system. Supports may be secured to framing members or used in conjunction with fasteners to hold the tubing in place.
