2 2-inch/50-mm minimum bend radius (tested and UL listed only with standard 5 3/4-inch/
146-mm length straight reducer).
3 A higher number of bends may be permitted, provided the sum of degrees is equal to or less than
the 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.
NOTE : Differences in equivalent lengths are due to varying test methods, per UL 2443 standards. Refer
to these standards for additional information regarding friction loss test methods.
