Is this bend in a PEX pipe too much? Discussion Thread

Hi,

I by chance discovered that amongst a bunch of copper pipes, I have a PEX pipe that runs through a void between the original house and extension. The image is from the back of a store cupboard where the pipes run up and then into the original house between floors.

I suspect this pipe has been in place for at least 12 years, if not more. We have lived here for 5. It was only when I looked up the void, I discovered this bend. Personally, I'd have opted to use an elbow.

Anyway, some might say it's been fine for years don't worry but figured I'd ask.

Thanks in advance.
