When used to connect misaligned pipes, the nipple should be approximately bent to the required shape before installation to avoid
stress on burners or piping when unions or fl anges are tightened. All movement, bend limitations, and minimum bend radii listed in the
Performance Section should be respected. 8777 fl exible nipples are not intended to be compressed or stretched during installation. If the
nipple dœ s not fi t, adjust piping. Only wrench on the proper nipple area. Do not create sharp bends. Bend the corrugated section as
close to the center as possible. Do not apply torsion.
