Curve” or “Crimped-to-Curve” procedures as recommended by manufacturer for diameter of
curve and conditions of use prior to application of powder coat finish to ensure that all wire edges
are coated and protected. The use of “Cut-to-Curve” or “Crimped-to-Curve” fabrication technique
is dependent on the specific radius and the direction of the curve relative to the flat panel layout.
