Uponor bend support question

ChrisJ

So I've got a silly question.

I originally wasn't going to use any of these and instead I ended up using them constantly..

This is about the bend supports that snap onto the tubing to hold it in a tight radius.

Can I have two of them close together to form a tight 180 degree loop? Or to turn 90 up and then 90 left, or right etc? Like literally two Back to back?

Also how close to a fitting can they be? I assume it doesn't matter as long as I can expand the exposed end?

I can't see any of this being an issue but you never know...

I'd be comfortable with them anywhere that didn't require any bending/adjusting/mutilation to get 'em to fit.

How exactly can you use them somewhere that doesn't require bending..................

@ratio means bending the actual support @ChrisJ. I think you’re good with what you suggested 👍

You can have the bend supports back to back and best to leave a few inches of space between bend support and fittings.

@Danny Scully's got it. I think you might even be able to get the ends to overlap slightly if you put the brackets on opposite sides of the PEX
