pipes can be bent by hand and installed with or
without a bend bracket depending on the desired radius as
per table 6-1.
Minimum bending radius
• The minimum bending radius is five times the
pipe diameter.
• When bending with a spiral spring, the minimum
bending radius is three times the pipe diameter.
• The minimum bending radius is measured with respect
to the centre of the pipe.
• After bending, ensure that there are no kinks, wrinkles
or bulges.
Only cold bending of EDGE

pipes is allowed.
