A bending and support bracket for non-rigid tubing such as polybutylene water distribution conduit includes a frame having end portions extending at substantially right angles to each other wherein each end portion has a bracket for supporting opposite ends of a bend to be formed in the tubing. A curved bend support surface is formed on the frame between the bracket portions and is provided with a flange which together with the frame provides lateral support for a major portion of the bend of the tubing. The bending and support device is advantageously used for providing bends in tubing to be run through concrete slabs and other portions of building structures.

A bending and support device for non-rigid tubing such as plastic water distribution conduit and the like for changing the direction of a conduit run and supporting said conduit in the bent condition, said device comprising: a frame comprising a substantially flat plate including at least two end portions extending at an angle with respect to each other; a first conduit support bracket fixed to one end portion; a second conduit support bracket fixed to the other end portion, said support brackets each including respective portions forming channels for receiving and supporting said conduit at opposite ends of a bend in said conduit; surface means fixed to said frame between said support brackets for supporting said conduit along at least a portion of the inner radius of a bend in said conduit; and said support brackets are spaced from said surface means sufficiently to permit engaging said conduit by said support brackets and said surface means intermediate the ends of said conduit and without extending an end of said conduit through the channel formed by either of said support brackets.
