Bend supports for pex hr
hr
Member Posts: 6,106
I prefer to use regular pex for my under floor installations. It is so easy to pull thru joists and form 8" oc loops. 3/8" Wirsbo seems to be the most flexible, from my experience.
The Pex al pex products make for a nicer looking job at manifolds and near boiler piping. I bend the short pieces of PAP with an electrical condiut bender. Using these pre- bent PAP curves give me the best of both pexes.

Hot Rod,Where do you connect
the regular pex with the pap? From your post picture it looks like near the manifold, I must be missing something because I thought a splice adapter of some type would be needed. Thanks0 -
Superglue, Dale
Actually the PAP is just a sleeve to push the regular pex thru. Works like those metal bend supports you sometime see.
