6. Wrap the PVC Heating Blanket around the conduit until snug and
secure the blanket with Velcro strap. The blanket should overlap
the thermostat housing. (FIGURE 2)
7. Plug in the PVC Heating Blanket. DO NOT LEAVE PVC HEATING
BLANKET UNATTENDED WHILE IN USE. As the PVC Conduit
heats, check for softness by pressing lightly on the sides of the
blanket. The PVC conduit is ready to bend when it becomes very
flexible. Make sure to UNPLUG THE PVC HEATING BLANKET
and then take off the Velcro straps.
8. Remove flexible PVC conduit from the blanket and lay on a
clean, dry, and flat surface. You can now hand bend the PVC to
your desired angle.
9. To set the bend, allow the PVC conduit to cool or decrease the
time by rubbing the bend lightly with a sponge or rag soaked in
cool water. NOTE: Make sure to keep all liquids away from the
PVC Heating Blanket.
10. To help prevent crimping or flattening of the PVC conduit
during the bending process, it is recommended to use plug sets
to ensure conduit keeps its shape. For large numbers of repeat
bends, a jig made of wood is recommended.
