They have been tested, listed, labeled, and regularly inspectedby Underwriters Laboratory to ensure they meet or exceed industry performancestandards.UltraFuel Flex is manufactured with 321(ASTM A240) grade stainless steel closedpitch metal flexible hose, making it an extraordinarily flexible connection. One ofthe rigorous testing requirements of UL536 testing is flexure cycle testing.UltraFuel Flex was flexure tested for 20,000 cycles while maintaining a workingpressure of 175 psig. Upon successful completion of 20,000 cycles, UltraFuel Flexwas pressurized to 875 psig (5:1 safety factor) and maintained pressure integrity...Passing the test!LISTEDUltraFuel Flex ®for combustiblegases andflammable liquids33NBApplicationsFlex-Hose Co. UltraFuel Flex UL536 Listed connectors are approved for flammableand combustible gases and liquids. They are used to prevent damage to criticalgas/fuel fired equipment caused by piping stress where rigidly supported pipesconnect to equipment. UltraFuel Flex are easily installed and reduce the possibilityof equipment connection failure. Common applications include gas connectionson boilers, water heaters, and unit heaters and fuel connections on emergencygenerators and gas turbine engine installations.Almost all inhabited areas of the world are susceptibleto the damaging effects of seismic activity.All current building codes for seismic and windrestraint design have the primary objectives: reducethe possibility of injury and threat to life, reducelong term cost due to equipment damage and resultantdowntime.FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Act) hasidentified one of the primary causes of propertydamage from earthquakes as the mechanical failureof gas and water lines contributing to fires.The majority of U.S. jurisdictions have adopted thenew international codes to insure financial backingfrom FEMA following an earthquake. All currentbuilding codes require seismic bracing of certainpipes. Damage occurs when pipes move independentlyof the building. The ultimate goal of seismicbracing is to prevent damage to the pipe system byforcing it to move with the building. Other potentialproblems that occur are the incompatibility of pipingsytems with differential movement of the structure(drift) and bracing of piping with short/stiff serviceconnections to equipment.Fitting failures generally occur at or near equipmentconnections. The HVAC industry suggests the followingshould be considered when installing seismicrestraints:• Flexible connections should be provided betweenequipment that is braced and piping that need notbe braced.• Flexible connections should be provided betweenisolated equipment and braced piping.Current International Codes realizes the criticalimportance of protecting piping systems conveyingflammable and combustible gases. Flex-Hose Co.UltraFuel Flex UL536 Listed connectors areapproved for flammable and combustible gases andliquids. They are the ultimate protection forisolating critical gas/fuel fired equipment.PressuresUltraFuel Flex are designed for a maximum working pressure of 175psi at 70°F and are capable of system test to 262 psig. Manufacturedwith 5:1 safety factor.All UltraFuel Flex are 100% hydrostatic tested at the factory to 262psig to insure trouble free installation and years of quality service.UL536 RequirementsUltraFuel Flex connectors have a UL536 listing having a nominal insidediameter from 1 to 4 inches intended for use if piping systems carryingflammable and combustible gases and liquids, at pressures not exceeding175 psi at ambient temperature.Note: The terms flammable and combustible gases and liquids, as usedherein, mean gases and liquids such as alcohol, fuel oil, gasoline,kerosene, liquefied petroleum gases and manufactured and natural fuelgases. A combustible liquid has a flash point at or above 100°F or 38°C.A flammable liquid has a flash point below 100°F and a vapor pressurenot exceeding 40 PSIG (276 kPa) at 100°F.

(Lb.)PARALLELANGULARParallel Offset:Motion that occurs when one end of the hoseassembly is deflected in a plane perpendicular tothe longitudinal axis with the ends remaining parallel.Offset is measured as displacement of thefree end centerline from the fixed end centerline.Angular Offset:Angular movement is defined as the bending ofthe hose so that the ends are no longer parallel.Amount of movement is measured in degreesfrom centerline of the hose if were installedstraight.Motion Frequency:Permanent Offset - The maximum fixed paralleloffset to which the UltrFuel Flex assembly may bebent without damage to the convolutions. No furthermotion is to be imposed other than normalvibration.Intermittent Offset is motion that occurs on a regularor irregular cyclic basis. It is normally the resultof seismic motion, or other non-continuous actionssuch as thermal expansion and contraction.LISTEDUltraFuel Flex ®for combustible gasesand flammable liquids33NBVIBRATIONNote: The terms flammable and combustiblegases and liquids, as used herein, mean gasesand liquids such as alcohol, fuel oil, gasoline,kerosene, liquefied petroleum gases and manufacturedand natural fuel gases.
