Installation

Step 1:

Starting at the center of the groove, bend the Nextflex heater at the center mark consistent with the direction of the groove.

Step 2:

Hold the Nextflex heater directly above the groove at the point of installation. Strike the Nextflex heater hard to seat it well. Form and install in short lengths to prevent rebending. Always start by installing the heater at the center mark at the center location of the groove.

Step 3:

It is important to make sure the Nextflex heater is directly above the groove prior to striking. Form and install in 1 to 2 inch sections (25 to 50 mm).

The heater is flexible due to annealing. Multiple bends in the same location “work harden” the heater. For best results, form the heater as precisely as possible prior to installing in the groove.

Step 4:

While keeping the heater flat and forming it with your free hand, bend the heater to match the groove.

Step 5:

One strong strike is more effective than two soft strikes. If your groove dimensions are correct, you will not damage the internal heater.

Step 6:

The Nextflex staking tool is a key component in the seating the heater properly. This improves heat transfer and maximizes heater life. Strike hard to stake every 3/4 in (about 20 mm).

Make sure the straight section of the groove is fully installed prior to forming your bend.
