The approximate friction loss, based on the Hazen and Williams formula and expressed in equivalent length of pipe with
C-120, is as follows:
15 feet of 1-1/2 Sch. 40 pipe for the 1-1/2 inch Valve Combination** calculated on a typical ow rate of 100 gpm.
28 feet of 2 inch Sch. 40 pipe for the 2 inch Valve Combination* calculated on a typical ow rate of 175 gpm.
37 feet of 3 inch Sch. 40 pipe for the 3 inch Valve Combination* calculated on a typical ow rate of 350 gpm.
48 feet of 4 inch Sch. 40 pipe for the 4 inch Valve Combination* calculated on a typical ow rate of 600 gpm.
73 feet of 6 inch Sch. 40 pipe for the 6 inch Valve Combination* calculated on a typical ow rate of 1500 gpm.
103 feet of 8 inch Sch. 30 Pipe for the 8 inch Valve Combination* calculated on a typical ow rate of 2500 gpm.
