Worldwide Contacts Model FH-1 Flexible Hose Available in Asia and Pacific Territories Only IMPORTANT Refer to Technical Data Sheet TFP2300 for warnings pertaining to regulatory and health information. Always refer to Technical Data Sheet TFP700 for the “INSTALLER WARNING" that provides cautions with respect to handling and installation of sprinkler systems and components. Improper handling and installation can permanently damage a sprinkler system or its components and cause the sprinkler to fail to operate in a fire situation or cause it to operate prematurely. General Description TYCO Model FH-1 Flexible Hose can be used in wet sprinkler systems between the branchline and sprinkler when installed in accordance with NFPA 13, 13D, and 13R. Flexible Hose provides a unique sprinkler drop assembly comprised of the following components: • Stainless steel flexible hose with two slip nuts • Branchline inlet nipple • Straight sprinkler reducer • Reducer bracket, bar fixing clamps, and support bar Using Model FH-1 Flexible Hose saves time and cost because the system can be installed in false ceilings without cutting and threading pipes associated with installing a drop, arm-over, and elbows. Model FH-1 Flexible Hose makes it possible to test and charge the system with water before installing the ceiling grid. After the ceiling grid is in position, the Model FH-1 Flexible Hose can be reshaped to suit the final sprinkler location without draining the system. Model FH-1 Flexible Hose is installed quickly without large and expensive tools. Ideal applications include offices, schools, libraries, hospitals, and shopping complexes. Model FH-1 Flexible Hose described herein must be installed and maintained in compliance with this document and with the applicable standards recognized by the Approval agency, in addition to the standards of any other authorities having jurisdiction. Failure to do so may impair the performance of these devices. The owner is responsible for maintaining their fire protection system and devices in proper operating condition.
