A rule of thumb when specifying sheathing: if interlocked metal ((SL)), plain or covered) sheathing is used, minimum bending radius is 4X the OD of the sheathing. “Soft” sheathing such as PVC or Silicone can withstand a bending radius as small as 2X the ODSee more on fiberopticstech Anderson Corporation
