Installation Instructions for

MonoRail

700MOA_

920MONRAL

GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION:

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 to bend the

MonoRail horizontally, Plywood Template, Wiremold

Pipe Bender, and Freestyle. When bending the

MonoRail vertically, only use the wiremold pipe

bender technique. MonoRail bends horizontally

easier than vertically. When bending the MonoRail

vertically, do small bends at the time and avoid

bending the MonoRail back which may cause the rail

to separate from the insulator.

Plywood Template to Form a Curve

or Circle (Horizontal Bend Only)

CIRCULAR

PLYWOOD

MONORAIL

Determine the radius of the curve or circle.

On a piece of plywood, draw the curve with the radius

approximately 18% tighter than desired (the tighter

radius is to account for the MonoRail

memory/springback when bending).

Example: For a 20" radius curve, draw a 16.4" radius

curve on the plywood (the desired radius has to be

multiplied by .82, 20"X.82=16.4").

Cut the pattern from the plywood. Secure the plywood

pattern.

Hold one edge of the MonoRail against the plywood.
