6. To bend the flexible PVC conduit,
remove it from the PVC Heating
Blanket and place on a clean, flat
surface and hand bend to the
desired angle. The bend can be
set by allowing the PVC conduit to
cool, or you can decrease this time
by rubbing the bend with a sponge
or rag soaked in cool water.
(See Figure 5a). Remember to
keep all liquids away from the PVC
Heating Blanket.
NOTE: To help prevent flattening and crimping of the PVC conduit during
the bending process, Current Tools Plug Sets are recommended
for 2" and larger PVC conduit.
NOTE: For large numbers of repeat bends, a jig made of wood is
recommended.
