How to use this Design Guide 1 For some systems,it may be advantageous for the designer to calculate the system hydraulics using shorter equivalent lengths associated with fewer than the maximum allowable number of bends.In this case,the designer may select a design number of bends for the job and use the associated equivalent length from the design guide to determine the system hydraulics. 2 It Is possible that the actual installed condition of some of the flexible drops may have more bends than the designer selected.When this happens,the design guide may be used to find equivalent lengths based on the actual installed number of bends for particular sprinkler installations.The system hydraulics can be recalculated using actual equivalent lengths to verify the performance of the system 10.85 5839 Rev W Updated 01/2015 ©2015 Victaulic Company.All rights reserved. victaulic.com 3 Ai_C_t:a_U1icr victaulic.com I VicFlex Sprinkler Fittings I AM I AH2 I AH4 I Publication 10.85 C 0os FRICTION LOSS DATA: LISTED -Series AM Braided Hose with Straight 5.75" Reducers -Style AB1 and AB10 Brackets Series AH1 Hose Maximum Length of Equivalent Length Number of Stainless Steel of 1'733.7mm 90°Bends at 3"/76.2mm Flexible Hose Outlet Size Sch.40 Pipe(C=120) Bend Radius inches inches/type feet/meters 31 '/2"/Straight 52/15.8 3 3/4"/Straight 55/16.8 3 36 1/2"/Straight 63/19.2 4 3/4"/Straight 66/20.1 4 48 '/2"/Straight 78/23.8 4 3W'/Straight 80/24.4 4 60 1/2"/Straight 88/26.8 4 3/4"/Straight 90/27.4 4 72 1/2"/Straight ht 112/34.1 5 1/4"/Straight ht 118/36.0 5 Series AH1 Braided Hose Equivalent Length Design Guide Equivalent length values at various numbers of 90 degree bends at 3775mm center line bend radius Length of Stainless Steel Flexible Outlet 1 2 3 4 5 Hose Size Bend Bends Bends Bends Bends inches inches 31 1/2 32 42 52 N.A N.A 3/4 33 44 55 N.A N.A 36 1h" 33 43 53 63 N.A 3/4 36 46 56 66 N.A 48 1h" 46 57 68 78 N.A 3/4" 51 60 71 80 N.A 60 1/2 56 67 77 88 1 N.A 3/4 58 69 80 90 N.A 72 1/2" 69 79 91 102 112 3/4" 73 84 95 106 118 Note:Values for use with 5.75'straight reducers.
