Nextflex Connectors
Installation
Step
01
Starting at the center of the groove, bend the Nextflex custom flexible heater at the center mark consistent with the direction of the groove.
Step
02
Form and install in short lengths to prevent re-bending. Always start by installing the heater at the center mark at the center location of the groove.
Step
03
It is important to make sure the Nextflex custom flexible heater is directly above the groove prior to striking. Form and install in 1-to-2-inch sections (25 to 50 mm).
Step
04
While keeping the Nextflex heater flat and forming it with your free hand, bend the heater to match the groove.
Step
05
One strong strike is more effective than two soft strikes. If your groove dimensions are correct, you will not damage the internal heater.
Step
06
One strong strike is more effective than two soft strikes. If your groove dimensions are correct, you will not damage the internal heater.

nextflex lead adapter Kit
The Nextflex lead adapter kit is an add-on for Ø8.0/Ø8.5 heaters that lets you safely connect a 1,000 mm (40") lead wire. It's reusable for servicing and provides a high-temperature connection for safety. Each kit fits one heater, with longer wires available upon request.
See data sheet for more details
- Remove both nuts and washers from the end of the heater.
- Align the metal crimp on the power lead with the threaded stud and rotate to assemble. Do not screw on fully - leave about 2-3 mm of threads exposed on the heater pin.
- While holding the lead wire, slide the ceramic sleeve up to cover the metal crimp, then rotate to engage the internal threads.
- Turn until the ceramic sleeve seats against the end of the Nextflex custom flexible heater, and finger tighten to hold.
This will act as a jam nut and bind the metal crimp against the threads of the stud reducing the risk of it loosening up over time. Do not overtighten the ceramic sleeve, only a slight binding is needed to secure.
