When flex hoses evolve with the complexity of buildings<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Time has changed and so have buildings. Modern constructions demand more: higher performance, larger water flow, new solutions to match increasingly complex layouts. Viking has responded to these challenges by designing and developing new flex hoses.<\/em><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few years ago, only one type of flex hose was available for commercial and residential buildings with false ceilings. This hose, combined with a sprinkler, allowed fast and simple installation in a variety of situations. However, over the years, new buildings have sprung up everywhere, each bringing more complex layouts. With these developments, higher water demand, greater performance, and increased flexibility have become essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To address this evolving demand, Viking now offers flex hoses in a range of diameters\u2014from 25 mm to 40 mm\u2014and various lengths, engineered to fit every project. With approved accessories and available in a range of sizes, these flex hoses offer flexibility and proven performance across various fire protection applications. Key advantages include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Fast and effortless installation: <\/strong>Suitable for pendent, recessed, and concealed sprinklers<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Easy to use fittings<\/strong>: designed for efficient and simple on-site installation<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Single-length clips<\/strong>: Allow installation of either pendent or recessed\/ concealed sprinklers<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Multiple hose lengths<\/strong>: available to suit different installations and applications<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Standard support bar<\/strong>: 700 mm bar fits most ceiling grids (longer versions available on request)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Flexible routing<\/strong>: Up to four bends allowed<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Low equivalent length values<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Aid in positioning<\/strong>: Outlet fitting marked with distance from outlet to support accurate positioning<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • S-Flex option: <\/strong>High-performance hose designed for easy bending in false ceiling installation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    All Viking flex hoses are now CE-marked, meeting recognized European standards for consistency and reliability. This positions Viking as the company offering the most complete range of CE-marked flex hoses on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Their applications have expanded beyond offices, apartments, and shopping centers to include clean rooms, data centers, and other specialized building types. They are ideal for new builds, retrofits, and complex ceiling layouts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
