LA Approves FlexHead Flexible Fire Sprinkler Connections
The City of Los Angeles granted general approval for FlexHead
Industries’ flexible fire sprinkler connections. The company’s products, which
include hose, fittings and brackets, are the only flexible solutions to gain
such approval. A key factor in the decision was that FlexHead is the only
manufacturer to meet seismic qualification testing pursuant to AC156, “Seismic
Qualification Testing of Nonstructural Components.” The testing was conducted
by the Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering,
University at Buffalo.
