Sioux Chief 550-PB2 1/2 Inch Cts Pipe Bend Support

Product Description

The SIOUX CHIEF 550-PB2 is a simple bend support strap designed for 1/2 inch CTS (copper tube size) pipe. It provides secure, low-profile support at pipe bends, preventing stress on the tubing and maintaining proper alignment within wall cavities, floor systems, and framed assemblies. This type of support is a standard rough-in component installed by plumbers during new construction and remodel work. The 550-PB2 keeps pipe runs stable where directional changes occur, reducing movement and noise under flow conditions.

This bend support is intended for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where 1/2 inch CTS tubing is routed through framed structures. It is well suited for copper and compatible flexible tubing installations. Plumbers typically install this strap at bend points to satisfy support spacing requirements outlined in applicable plumbing codes and to protect tubing from abrasion against framing members.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber during rough-in framing stages. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before securing any pipe supports or making adjustments to existing tubing runs. Fasten the strap securely to the framing member at the bend point using appropriate fasteners for the substrate. Follow local plumbing code requirements, such as those outlined in the IPC, for pipe support spacing and bend protection.
