Is this pex bending & joints ok?

I had a repipe done. Are the joints and bending in this pex ok? First pic is service entry through block wall.

Honestly it looks like a straight up first timer did the work.

Is that a cleanout on the vent. It is useless being that close to the toilet. The toilet would have to be pulled to access the cleanout, at that point run through the toilet

You should use the nail clamps made for supporting PEX as per mfrs instructions. Support prevents strain and is part of the long term durability.

Scary that you say this. I paid a ton of $ and he said he's got 30+ years plumbing experience.

House built 1967 so this abs is newer and done by a previous owner.

He used them some places. Should I add more and where?

is it OK for the service entry pipe to be bent like it is? Doesn't that create a large stress at the joint?

They may have many years as a plumber, but looks like hack work; they are not certified for Uponor (Uponor issues a card if trained), nor does it look like they have read the instructions for installation for any pex universally.
Support every 32" and at each run vertically and horizontally to eliminate stress.

Generally, I do not talk crap about how peoples work looks, becasue we have all done things we are not proud of. The only real thing I see, is I do not like the bends near the fittings, it puts undue stress on the connections and is not correct. 4'' of pipe after a connection to the fitting should be unstressed and straight. An example of this the the tee fitting in the 3rd picture where the 2 red pipes go to a white pipe.

Do they still issue cards? Got one in 95 or so, but long since lost.
