Sioux Chief 550-MP2 1/2" PEX Sidewinder Bend Support with Mounting Plate, Galvanized Steel

Sioux Chief 550-MP2 1/2" PEX Sidewinder Bend Support with Mounting Plate, Galvanized Steel

The Sioux Chief 550-MP2 Sidewinder is a 1/2" PEX tubing bend support built for rough-in plumbing installations where flexible tubing has to change direction without kinking. Constructed of galvanized steel and installed with an integral mounting plate, this bend guide fastens to studs or framing to hold PEX tubing in a controlled, gradual bend as it routes through wall cavities, floor penetrations, and tight framing bays. It is supplied 25 pieces per carton and manufactured in the United States, making it easy for plumbing contractors to stock enough units to protect every bend on a rough-in job without running short mid-installation.

Key Features

• Trade Size: Sized for 1/2" PEX tubing, matching common residential and light commercial supply lines.
• Durable Construction: Galvanized steel body resists corrosion in behind-the-wall rough-in applications where the fitting stays hidden for the life of the building.
• Integral Mounting Plate: Built-in plate lets installers fasten the bend support directly to a stud or framing member, holding the tubing bend securely in place through rough-in and finish work.
• Bend Support Design: The Sidewinder guides 1/2" PEX tubing through turns, preventing the sharp kinks and collapsed walls that can restrict water flow behind the wall.
• Rough-In Ready: Designed to be installed during framing, before insulation and drywall close in the wall cavity, so the bend stays supported for the life of the run.
• Country of Origin: Manufactured in the United States.
• Packaging: Supplied 25 pieces per carton, convenient for crews stocking multiple rough-in runs on the same job.
