Table 6-1: Minimum bend radius
Bending PEX
Refer to Table 6-1 for the
minimum bend radius of
Uponor AquaPEX piping. When
making bends less than 12" in
diameter, be sure to make the
bends slowly and carefully to
avoid over bending or kinking
the piping.
Piping support and
pipe talon guidelines
1. Uponor recommends plastic
piping supports (pipe talons)
but metal piping supports
designed for plastic piping
are acceptable and required
for exposed applications.
Ensure proper orientation
of the pipe talon as shown
in Figure 6-1.
2. Do not use supports that
will damage the piping.
Inspect metal supports
for sharp edges.
3. The linear expansion rate
for Uponor AquaPEX piping
is approximately 1.1" per 10°F
(12°C) temperature change
for every 100' of piping.
4. Allow ⅛" to
33
⁄
16 16
" longitudinal
clearance per foot of run
to a c commodate thermal
expansion when installing
piping runs. Allow piping
to dip between supports.
Note: Do not pull piping
tight during installation.
