FlexHead Sprinkler Connections
Armstrong MetalWorks Wings Accent and Accoustical Clouds Compatible
FlexHead Flexible Sprinkler Connections consist of fully
welded, stainless steel hose assemblies and anchoring
system that connect sprinkler heads to the branch lines.
These systems install in a quarter of the time of hard pipe
armovers, allowing for rapid installation or relocation of sprinkler
heads in suspended ceilings. The flexible hose connection
assures perfect aesthetics for sprinkler head placement. Each
FlexHead unit comes with a mounting bracket and a one-piece
leak tested sprinkler drop. The sprinkler drop is specifically
designed to be compatible with Armstrong MetalWorks Wings
Accent and Acoustical Clouds.
FlexHead Flexible Sprinkler Connections are compatible with
any contractor installed sprinkler head of choice and are
available in both 1/2" & 3/4" outlet sizes. This pressure/leak
tested system is available in 3 and 6 foot hose lengths,
making it ideal for MetalWorks Wings.
The FlexHead commercial sprinkler connections
designed for MetalWorks Wings are Factory
Mutual (FM) approved and are manufactured in
an FM audited facility. The standard unit is rated
at 175PSI with a 300PSI unit available for high pressure applications
Seismically qualified
FlexHead flexible sprinkler connections allow for independent movement between sub-mains and ceilings.
Armstrong and FlexHead have tested this system at the State University of New York at Buffalo (SUNY).
They're qualified for use in Seismic Design Categories C, D, E and F. They meet all International Building
Code requirements without needing an unsightly oversized ring, sleeve or adaptor where the ceiling meets
the sprinkler head. FlexHead connections are FM-approved and UL-listed, having passed rigorous tests for
hydrostatic pressure, vibration, friction loss, fatigue, head deployment, corrosion and water hammer. Every
hose is leak-checked at the factory. Their burst pressure exceeds 3,000 pounds. And they're compatible
with every sprinkler head on the market.
