How to use this Design Guide: • For some systems,it may be advantageous for the designer to calculate the system hydraulics using shorter equivalent lengths asv,wiated with fewer than the maximum allowable number of bends.In this case,the designer may select a design nhanber of bends to the job and use the associated equivalent length from the design guide to determine the system hydraulics. • 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 instated 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 X Updated 11/2015 0 2015 Victautic Company.All rights reserved_ victaulic.com 12 ✓otaulie victauliic.cotn • 5.1 PERFORMANCE— FRICTION LOSS DATA Series AH2 Braided Hose ® Style AB1, AB2, AB3, AB4,AB7,AB7 Adj.,ABS,AB9 and AB10 VicFlex Brackets Series AH2 Hose Maximum Equivalent Number Length of Length of of 90°Bends Stainless Steel Outlet 1733.7mm at 7'7178mm Flexible Hose K-Factor Size Sch.40 Pipe Bend Radius inches/mm Imperial/S.I. inches/mm/type feet/meters 1/2"/15/Straight 235/7.1 31M5 5.6/8.1 r1z715/90"Elbow = 23/7.0 -.. 2 14"/15/Straght 27.8/8.5 36/900 5.6/8.1 - - - --- --- 2 16.715/90 Elbow_.._., 27.7/8.4 '1/2715/Straight ` "`38.2/11.6 48/1200 5.6/8.1 t3 c.,�,., --_ 'h"/15/90"Elbow E i'37A/I 1.4 _ 'h"/15/S_aight 42.4/12.9 60/1500 5.6(8.1 Y4715/90"Elbow 43/13.1 4 15/1 /S 46.6/14.2 72/1800 . lT°'Y�ht - :.. . __ : r%05.. g1 -.1. _.__ 48.5/14.7 14"20/Stra ht_--,_,-, 20.7/6.3 31/775 8.0/11.5 :_._ - "��<Elbow ___...._..-20.5/6.2 2 36/900 . 8.0/11.5 r. - /20/ t 25.0/7.6 _ 2 14720/Stht j 355/10.8 48/1200 8.0/11.5 -_ _____raig-- .... : .. . _T 3 ; .720/90`Elbow _34.7/10.6 ?4,1/*75ttaight 39.6112.1 Sri/3R19d`Elbow 40.1/1 Z2 3/4"/20/Straight 43.5/13.2 72/1800 8.0/11.5 --- 4 3/4"/20/90`Elbow 45.2/13.7 ' ` — 34"/20/Straight 17.8/5.4 _ i 31f S 11,2/163 3A/20/90`Hbow 18/55. 2 3/"/20/Straight 22.2/6.7 36/900 11.2/16.1 - - - - 2 � N"/20/90`Elbow 22.1/6.7 3l4'/20/Straight 329/10.0 3 4gft240`. 11.2/16.7 - _ -:1-, r_ ---c ,..._... , ...._ gA720/90-Elbow ';_ .1/9.8 ' 3/4720/Straight 36A/11.2 ' 60/1500 1 L2/16.1 -- /./20/90`Elbow - _ ^37.1/11.3--- 4 • 3 3/4720/Straight 40.5/12.3'. 1f18110 7 L2/76.i' 3/4"/20/90"Elbow • '.41.9/127 _. . r_ 4. 3/4720/Arai ht - 14.9/4.5 31/775 14.0/20.2 .... 9 ------_.-.. _----- 2 3 "/20/90"Elbow 15.5/4.72 3/4720/Straight ' 19.4/5.
