Uponor A5110500 90-degree Metal Bend Support Pex

Product Description

The UPONOR A5110500 is a 90-degree metal bend support designed to guide and protect 1/2-inch PEX tubing at right-angle transitions in plumbing and radiant heating systems. Constructed from steel, this bend support maintains proper bend radius and prevents kinking at directional changes, preserving flow performance and long-term tubing integrity. It is installed by licensed plumbers and mechanical contractors during rough-in on residential and light commercial projects where PEX distribution lines change direction at framing members or structural elements.

This bend support is suited for 1/2-inch PEX tubing installations in potable water distribution, hydronic radiant floor heating, and snow-melt systems. It is typically installed at wall plates, floor joists, or stud bays where tubing must transition at a 90-degree angle without exceeding the allowable bend radius. The steel construction provides durable support in both concealed and accessible framing cavities.

Key Features

• 90-degree bend geometry maintains correct bend radius for 1/2-inch PEX tubing
• Steel construction resists deformation under load and over time
• Prevents kinking at directional changes to preserve consistent flow
• Designed for use with 1/2-inch PEX tubing in standard rough-in applications
• Compact form factor fits standard framing cavities

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style bend support accessory for use with 1/2-inch PEX tubing in residential and light commercial plumbing and hydronic piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or mechanical contractors during rough-in before wall or floor cavities are closed. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the system before making any tubing connections near the support location. Secure the bend support per the tubing manufacturer guidelines and local plumbing code requirements, referencing IPC or applicable state code as adopted. Do not force tubing beyond the designed bend radius, as over-bending can stress both the tubing and the support.
