NOTES: Values for use with." straight reducers. 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 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. 0. ev X Updated /0 0 Victaulic Company. ll rights reserved.

FM and Vds standards for safety include, but are not limited to, pressure cycling, corrosion resistance, flow characterisitics, vibration resistance, leakage, mechanical and hydrostatic strength. Differences in equivalent lengths are due to varying test methods, per FM and VdS standards. efer to these standards for additional information regarding friction loss test methods. EXMPLE: -inch hose installed with two 0 bends and two 0 bends at a -inch is permitted and considered equivalent to the data in the table shown above.
