Published tooling radii, fitting straight lengths and normal-service clamp spacing. Values are qualified by source—not interpolated.
Bend radius
Centerline radius depends on OD, wall, material and tooling.
Fitting straight
Leave enough straight tube for full fitting insertion.
Support spacing
Clamp both sides of bends; tighten spacing for vibration and heavy items.
