Select the printhead type that minimizes the tension in the conduit. For example, the right
angle printhead in Figure 4 (a) creates a tension in the conduit when the printer moves to
the left side. The straight connector in Figure 4 (b) prevents this problem.

The bend radius of the conduit is the most important factor than decreases the life of the
conduit. You must install the printhead to maximize any bend radius.
2.2.3 Conduit routing
Design the conduit route to minimize the bends in the conduit, because any bend can cause
a strain the conduit. Never allow the bend radius of the conduit to be less than the
minimum allowed. The minimum bend radius for a traversing application is 150 mm
(measured to the inside of the bend).
