Standard Monorail bends horizontally to a radius as small as 6" and
vertically to a radius as small as 24".

NOTE:There are three techniques for bending the
Monorail horizontally, PlywoodTemplate,Wiremold Pipe
Bender, and Freestyle.When bending the Monorail
vertically, only use theWiremold Pipe Bender technique.
Monorail bends horizontally easier than vertically.When
bending the Monorail vertically, do small bends at a time
and avoid bending the Monorail back which may cause the
rails to separate from the insulator.

1
Determine the radius of the curve or circle.
2
On a piece of plywood draw the curved pattern.
3
Cut out the curved pattern from the plywood.
4
Make sure the cutout plywood is secured in place.
5
Hold one edge of the Monorail against the plywood.

1
Choose the center of bending section on the Monorail.The
bending point should be centered between the hands.
2
To ensure a smooth curve, begin with hands as far as apart as
possible, moving the hands closer together as bending
progresses. Bend the Monorail until the desired shape is
achieved.

NOTE: TheWiremold Pipe Bender can be used to create
smooth horizontal curve of 90° or less.Avoid stepping on
the pedal of the Pipe Bender which will flatten and damage
the Monorail.
1
Feed the Monorail through the Pipe Bender hook. Start
bending the Monorail by gently pulling back on the arm of the
Pipe Bender.
2
Start with small angle (MAX 10°) to avoid errors in shaping
the Monorail.After each bend unhook and check the Monorail
against the pattern.

M3 SET SCREW
1
Push two Monorail sections completely onto the conductive
or isolating join connectors.
2
Tighten the M3 set screws with the 1.5 MM Allen wrench
provided. Make sure that the set screw connection for
conductive connector is tight to avoid heat build up and
corrosion. For the isolating connector, tighten the #6-32 set
screw firmly to avoid stripping the thread.
