How to use this Design Guide: • For some systems,it may ber advantageous for the designer ton 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. • 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 X Updated 11/2015 0 2015 Victaulic Company.All rights reserved. 12 victaulic.com. ✓Ctaulilc .._.._.._.._..._..__ victaulic.com 5.1 PERFORMANCE—FRICTION LOSS DATA ® Series AH2 Braided Hose Style AB1,AB2,AB3,AB4, AB7,AB7 Adj.,AB8, AB9 and AB10 VicFlex Brackets Series AH2 Hose Maximum Equivalent Number Length of Length of of 90°Bends Stainless Steel Outlet 1%33.7mm at 7•/178mm Flexible Hose K-Factor Size Sch.40 Pipe Bend Radius inches/mm Imperial/S.I, inches/mm/type feet/meters 7 1 5 6/81 X11' t'/7.S/Stra�lhti I� 23 5/7 j v i'3 1n i 31/7 5 ,,,,-::::.-:::,:::-.,-.,...--,::::::,..,:%,„:.... -a.
