5. Use of a bending guide (BG-560) is recommended for
more precise control of the bend angle.
6. Do not attempt to form the entire bend in one motion.
Large pipe tends to kink and ripple during a bend. As
the bend is formed, remove kinks immediately by
pressing them flat and reshaping the pipe to maintain
a round, smooth bend. If pipe begins to cool and set,
complete as much of the bend as possible. Reheat the
pipe portion for the remaining bend and proceed to
finish the bend. (Each operator will develop a
technique after a few bends.) Check table “A” for
maximum bend angles obtainable in one attempt. Most
larger pipe will require a series of bends to obtain 45
o
or larger bends.
Note: Once a bend is set and cooled, the bent
portion cannot be reheated and reformed. The
blanket is only effective on straight pipe.
7. Cool pipe and set bends by wiping exterior surfaces
with a cool wet rag. Do not install pipe until completely
cooled to permit handling without gloves.
