For the Series AH3 Flexible Hose, the 3/4-inch/DN20 outlet data is shown with K14.0. For the Series
1
AH3-LP Flexible Hose, the 3/4-inch/DN20 outlet data is shown with K11.2. For other K-factor friction
loss data, refer to Victaulic
7-inch/178-mm minimum bend radius (tested with standard 5 3/4-inch/146-mm length straight
2
reducer).
A higher number of bends may be permitted, provided the sum of degrees is equal to or less than the
3
total maximum allowable degrees of bends (e.g. Two 90° bends equal 180°.
Three 90° bends equal 270°). The minimum bend radius and maximum number of 90° offset (bends),
stated in these installation instructions, refer to the final installed condition of the hose.
• For friction loss data for elbows, refer to Victaulic
