Made from durable polymer construction, this fitting-compatible accessory maintains the integrity of PEX runs where the tubing must change direction. It fits copper tube size (CTS) tubing in 3\/8 inch and 1\/2 inch diameters. Plumbers and PEX installers use bend supports like this one to ensure long-term flow performance and code-compliant installations in both new construction and retrofit plumbing work. The 1\/2 inch size includes a mounting bracket for securing the support to framing or structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bend support is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where PEX tubing is routed through walls, floors, or mechanical spaces. It is commonly installed at stub-outs, manifold runs, and any location where the tubing makes a turn that could otherwise stress or kink the pipe. The low-profile polymer design is lightweight and easy to handle during installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrevents kinking in PEX tubing at directional changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with 3\/8 inch and 1\/2 inch CTS PEX tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolymer construction resists corrosion and is safe for potable water systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch size includes a mounting bracket for structural attachment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold individually for flexible quantity purchasing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style accessory for use with 3\/8 inch and 1\/2 inch CTS PEX tubing in standard residential and commercial plumbing systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before making any connections or routing changes to the PEX run. Secure the bend support firmly so that the tubing maintains its intended radius without stress at the transition point. Do not force PEX tubing into a tighter radius than the bend support is designed to accommodate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTubing Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 to 1\/2 inch CTS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Polymer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: SHARKBITE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23050\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RWC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51691330306354,"sku":"23050","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/91d624941e7d53b89a0940001978bd92.jpg?v=1788283331","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/sharkbite-23050-pex-tube-bend-support-3-8-1-2-cts","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
