cULus Listed, FM Approved
Product Description
RASCOFLEXTM Sprinkler Connections are intended to connect
a branch line to a sprinkler using a flexible stainless steel hose
assembly. RASCOFLEXTM Sprinkler Connections are suitable
for use in suspended and hard ceiling applications such aQfF'CE COPY

hard lid ceilings. Every package contains one (1)fully assem-
bled stainless steel flexible sprinkler system complete with
hose,branch line connection,and sprinkler connection,as well
as the pre-assembled bracket assembly to attach to the ceiling.
RASCOFLEXTM Sprinkler Connections are designed for use in -
hydraulically calculated wet, preaction, or dry sprinkler sys-
tems per NFPA 13, 13R, 13D, and FM Global Loss Prevention
Data Sheets.
