Rehau 235337-001 Wood Return Bend 8 in 48 in

Product Description

The REHAU 235337-001 is a wood return bend panel designed for radiant floor heating installations. Measuring 48 inches in length and 9 inches in width with a 0.625 inch thickness, this wood panel creates the routing path that allows PEX tubing to loop back at the end of each run. It fits 8-inch pipe spacing and is installed directly into the subfloor or over the deck to guide tubing placement and promote even distribution of floor surface temperatures. Licensed installers and radiant flooring contractors work with this component during both new construction framing and retrofit projects over existing subfloor surfaces.

This return bend is suited for automotive, construction, and commercial applications where controlled radiant heat distribution is required. In new construction, it is set into joist bays or laid over the subfloor before finish flooring is installed. In retrofit scenarios, it provides a low-profile routing solution that keeps tubing organized and protected without significant floor height buildup. The 8-inch pipe spacing makes it compatible with standard residential and light commercial radiant layout patterns.

Key Features

• Wood construction for easy field cutting and subfloor integration
• 48 inch length accommodates standard joist bay and panel run dimensions
• 0.625 inch thickness maintains a low floor profile for retrofit and new construction
• 9 inch width with 8 inch pipe fit spacing for organized tubing routing
• Supports even floor surface temperature distribution across the heated zone

Compatibility

Designed for use in radiant floor heating systems requiring 8-inch pipe spacing, suitable for new construction and retrofit applications in residential and commercial settings.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed radiant heating or plumbing contractor. Shut off the hydronic system and relieve pressure before routing or connecting tubing through the return bend. Follow local building codes and manufacturer layout guidelines for tubing spacing and fastening. Avoid over-bending PEX tubing beyond its minimum bend radius when seating it into the return channel.
