The bend of pipe shall not be too small; otherwise the pipe might be broken. Please use pipe bender to bend
the pipe.
Generally, the pipe shall be welded with the weld junction upward or horizontal. Avoid welding with the pipe
opening downward. (Downward welding is easy to cause defects, which may affect the weld quality or even
cause leakage, as show in Fig. 3-1-3).
