Flow Data
Friction Resistance
| The chart expresses the frictional resistance of various Victaulic fittings as equivalent feet of straight pipe. Fittings not listed can be estimated from the data given, for example, a 22 1/2° elbow is approximately one-half the resistance of a 45° elbow. Values of mid-sizes can be interpolated. |  |
