running pex for baseboards

rich67

I replaced some of my baseboard hot water radiant heaters in my house with new and am running barrier 3/4 pex to supply them. Is there a trick to get the pipe to lay out nice and easy? I seem to be having difficulties getting it to run straight without it bending and curling all over the place. How can I make the turns thru the subfloor to the baseboards without stressing the connection? Pex doesn't bend as easy as I thought.



Thanks in advance for your advice.

BEND SUPPORTS

THE SUPPLY HOUSE SELLS BEND SUPPORTS FOR THE PEX. THIS ALLOWS YOU TO PUT THE BEND SUPPORT ON THE PEX PRIOR TO PUTTING IT THROUGH THE HOLE . WILL MAKE A PERFECT 90 DEGREE BEND.

They also make copper sweeps

these are long sweep pieces of copper with pex adapters soldered on them.
