Uponor A5250500 Plastic Bend Support 1/2 in Pex

Product Description

The UPONOR A5250500 is a plastic bend support designed for use with 1/2 inch PEX tubing in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. Made from nylon, this bend support holds PEX tubing at a controlled radius to prevent kinking at direction changes. It is domestically manufactured and installed by licensed plumbers or qualified mechanical contractors during new construction or retrofit plumbing work. The part keeps tubing properly routed at bends, reducing stress on the line and maintaining consistent flow path geometry throughout the system.

This bend support is used wherever 1/2 inch PEX tubing requires a directional change without the use of a fitting. Common install scenarios include radiant floor heating systems, potable water distribution, and hydronic piping where neat, kink-free bends are required. It is suited for residential plumbing rough-ins and in-slab or under-floor tubing layouts where tubing must change direction cleanly.

Key Features

• Designed specifically for 1/2 inch PEX tubing to ensure proper fit and bend radius
• Nylon construction resists moisture and typical plumbing environment conditions
• Maintains controlled bend radius to prevent kinking and flow restriction
• Domestically manufactured
• No fittings required at direction change points, reducing potential leak paths

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or mechanical contractors. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the system before working on any connected tubing. Bend supports should be secured at direction changes per local plumbing code requirements, which may reference IPC or IRC standards. Do not force the tubing into the support in a way that creates additional stress or exceeds the designed bend radius.
