Tube Bending

If you are installing components next to bends you must leave enough straight tubing so that the tube can sufficiently bottom out into the fitting.

1. Cut the tube, this can be done with a tube cutter (with the correct blades) or a hacksaw and guide to ensure a square cut (hacksaw should have at least 32 teeth per inch, this helps avoid burns)
2. Tube must be deburred correctly on both the OD and ID to get a good seal and prevent particles getting into the SBT system medium
3. Clean tube and inspect - there should be no marks or damage on the surface of the tubing.
