Bending Procedure . . .
Thermon tubing bundles should be installed so there is
no strain on any fi ttings after the installation is complete.
The cross-sectional area of the tubing bundle should not
be fl attened, kinked or wrinkled. Refer to Table 1 for the
minimum acceptable bend radius for each type of Thermon
tubing bundle. Use a properly sized Thermon mechanical
tubing bender to assure constant radius bends where
possible. For bend radius greater than 254mm, use wooden
reel or spool as shown below.
