Eliminate guesswork Nextflex true to size heaters do not

expand when installed, eliminating risk of heated section outside of the manifold

Technical support Nexthermal can assist you in selection,

Side by side test data demonstrates that Nextflex heaters transfer more heat to your tool. The chart shows that the Nextflex heater is very close to the tool temperature when our previous flexible heater shows a differential of more then 100C.

Nextflex heaters are simple and efficient Efficient to Install

Nextflex tools reduce installation time and eliminate the need for additional retention methods. The first 10mm (~.40") after the connection area should always be straight.

Best Practices

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.

For optimal heat transfer, it is best to stake the Nextflex after assembly approximately every 20mm (~.75") into the groove.

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.

For bending the Nextflex we recommend our Nextflex toolset. This will allow the Nextflex to be seated optimally into the groove, resulting in maximum heat transfer.

Strike the Nextflex staking tool hard every 20mm (~.75"). This creates a Firmly seated heater with excellent heat transfer.

Pneumatic hammer attachment.
