Sean, Because the friction loss of most flex hose assemblies are equivalent to 20-30 feet of 1" schedule 40 pipe, in my opinion hydraulic calculations would be required.

Can flexible hose head connectors (I.E. - "Flexheads") be used on a pipe scheduled system ? Since calculations were not performed due to it being a scheduled system, the friction loss would be superfluous, correct ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
