Use a pipe bender for bending. All pipe bends should be as gentle as possible

Any gas or oil remaining inside the stop valve may blow off the spun piping.
If these instructions are NOT followed correctly it may result in property damage or
personal injury, which may be serious depending on the circumstances.
Use the following procedure to remove the spun piping:
1 Make sure that the stop valves are fully closed.
2 Connect the vacuuming/recovery unit through a manifold to the service port
of all stop valves.
