I bought a 50' roll of pex for a project that requires a pretty straight lay. Is there a patented way to straighten the tubing from the tight (2.5' diam) packaged roll? Should I just rely on anchor clamps nailed into studs? Thanks.

The nicest thing about PEx besides the cost is that it does bend. I would not worry about the curve, most will come out as you install your clamps.

Thanks for reply. Also, seems like it should relax over time in the clamps anyway. Rob in Wichita

To help the situation... I would clamp every floor joist (instead of every other) or every two feet... it is really just a matter of looks - not function.
