Nextflex Installation Video

Nextflex heaters are easy to install. They are shipped straight lengths, user formable, and installation time is reduced when using the Nextflex toolset.

Installation Guidelines:
● Form the first bend at center location prior to striking.
● Making sure heater is directly above the groove, strike with Teflon® side of Nextflex forming tool. One hard strike is better than two soft ones.
● When bending, make sure the Nextflex tool handle is parallel with the uninstalled Nextflex. This puts the minimum bending radius protection in the correct position.
● Strike the Nextflex staking tool hard every 20mm (~.75"). This creates a firmly seated heater with excellent heat transfer.

Best practices when installing Nextflex
● The first 10mm (~.40") after the connection area should always be straight.
● For optimal heat transfer, it is best to stake the Nextflex after assembly approximately every 20mm (~.75") into the groove.
● For bending the Nextflex we recommend our Nextflex toolset.
