Purpose

Gardner Bender PVC plugs are intended for use with GB
thermostatically controlled PVC bender blankets,
HotBoxes

TM

or the HotTubesTM. One plug is placed in each
end of the conduit during heating and bending operations.
Installing the PVC plug creates an air tight chamber within
the conduit. When the conduit is heated, air trapped inside
expands and helps retain original conduit shape. The heat
retained helps eliminate premature cooling experienced
when ends are left open.

Installation

1. Place the correct size PVC plug into each end of

the conduit. The rubber seal should be flush with
the conduit.

2. Turn the wing nut clockwise to tighten the seal. Hand

tight only. Using tools to tighten the plug could result
in conduit distortion and/or damage to the plug.

3. When heating and bending operations are complete,

remove the plugs.
