The Rules of Properly Bending a Heater

Please read the following instructions carefully to ensure the proper and safe use of heating elements:

1. Every heater has a “dead spot” (non-heating zone) at both ends.

   • The heating element cannot be bent on the edges of these spots, as it can damage the insulation of the heater.
   • Bending should occur in the heating or non-heating zones, but never at their edges.
   • The minimum distance from the “dead spot” zone for bending is 15mm.

2. The minimum inner bending radius (Rw) is 15mm.

   • Smaller radii are possible (sometimes even 0, called “abreast”), but this increases the risk of damage.

3. A heater that has already been bent becomes harder in the bent zone.

   • Especially with small radii, attempting to re-bend it can cause damage.

4. Heaters with softened coatings are designed to be bent, but only when cold.

5. After bending, you should contact an electrician to check the resistance of the heater.

Important:

• Heaters bent by customers lose their warranty.
• However, our employees can bend the heater for you (for a fee), and the 12-month warranty will remain valid.
