Not only does a PEX bend support help to keep your PEX tubing free from kinks, but it also greatly increases the bending radius. Without a bend support, Viega PEX Tubing has a bending radius of eight times the outside diameter (for a one inch roll of PEX, OD= 1.125" and bending radius would be 9"). With a bend support, the tubing has a bending radius of five times the outside diameter (one the same one inch roll of PEX, bending radius would be 5.625"). A lower bending radius is good because it means that you can fit that PEX into tighter spaces and move around corners with ease.
