(12) Watlow does not recommend field bending single-ended WATROD elements. Formation is limited by the minimum radius of a bend and the straight length (F) beyond the bend. The radius must be three inches (75 mm) or more for the heated length's end to be insid
(259) Double-ended WATROD heating elements can be formed into spirals, compounds, multi-axis and multi-planes from 36 common bend configurations. Custom bending with tighter tolerances can be made to meet specific application needs. Formation is limited by the minimum bend radius (R) and the straight length (F) required beyond the bend. In order to locate the end of a heated length within a bend, the radius must be three inches (76 mm) or larger. Additionally, overall length tolerance (T) must be included in one or more of the straight lengths.
