Order Quick Response Dry Pendent Sprinklers by first adding the appropriate suffix for the sprinkler finish, the appropriate suffix
for the temperature rating, and then the suffix for the length (“A” dimension) to sprinkler base part number. Order in a specific
length noted as the “A” dimension. The “A” dimension is the distance from the face of the fitting (tee) to the desired finished
surface of the ceiling.
These sprinklers are listed and approved in lengths from 1-1/2” to 45-1/2” (38.1 mm to 1,156 mm) for the adjustable standard style, 3” to
47” (76.2 mm to 1,194 mm) for the plain barrel style, and 3-1/4” to 47-1/2” (82.5 mm to 1,207 mm) for the adjustable recessed style.
Lengths exceeding the standard lengths are available, with no approvals, on a “made-to-order” basis: Recessed Dry Pendent up to
65-1/2” (1,664 mm). Adjustable Standard Dry Pendent up to 63-1/2” (1,613 mm). Plain Barrel Dry Pendent up to 65” (1,651 mm).
Contact the manufacturer for more information.
Finish Suffix: Brass = A, Chrome = F, White Polyester = M-/W, and ENT = JN
Temperature Suffix: 155 °F (68 °C) = B, 175 °F (79 °C) = D, 200 °F (93 °C) = E, 286 °F (141 °C) = G

5. OPERATION
During fire conditions, the heat-sensitive liquid in
the glass bulb expands, causing the glass to
shatter, releasing the internal parts to open the
waterway. Water flowing through the sprinkler
orifice strikes the sprinkler deflector, forming a
uniform spray pattern to extinguish or control the fire.

3 The corrosion-resistant Polyester and ENT coatings have passed the standard corrosion test required by the approving agencies indicated
in the Approval Charts. These tests cannot and do not represent all possible corrosive environments. Note: These coatings are NOT cor-
rosion proof. Prior to installation, verify through the end-user that the coatings are compatible with or suitable for the proposed environ-
ment. Polyester and ENT coatings are applied to the exposed exterior surfaces only. Note that the spring is exposed on sprinklers with
Polyester and ENT coatings.
4 When installed in some corrosive environments, the Polyester finish may change color. This natural discoloration over time is not in itself
an indication of corrosion and should not be treated as such. All sprinklers installed in corrosive environments should be replaced or
tested as described in NFPA 25 on a more frequent basis.

USE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS WHEN HANDLING WAX-COATED SPRINKLERS
Many of Viking’s sprinklers are available with factory-applied wax coating for corrosion resistance. These sprinklers MUST receive
appropriate care and handling to avoid damaging the wax coating and to assure satisfactory performance of the product.
General Handling and Storage of Wax-Coated Sprinklers:
• Store the sprinklers in a cool, dry place (in temperatures below the maximum ambient temperature allowed for the sprinkler temperature rating. Refer
to Table 1 below.)
• Store containers of wax-coated sprinklers separate from other sprinklers.
• Protect the sprinklers during storage, transport, handling, and after installation.
• Use original shipping containers.
• Do not place sprinklers in loose boxes, bins, or buckets.
Installation of Wax-Coated Sprinklers:
Use only the special sprinkler head wrench designed for installing wax-coated Viking sprinklers (any other wrench may damage
the unit).
• Take care not to crack the wax coating on the units.
• For touching up the wax coating after installation, wax is available from Viking in bar form. Refer to Table 1 below. The coating MUST be repaired after
sprinkler installation to protect the corrosion-resistant properties of the sprinkler.
• Use care when locating sprinklers near fixtures that can generate heat. Do not install sprinklers where they would be exposed to temperatures exceed-
ing the maximum recommended ambient temperature for the temperature rating used.
• Inspect the coated sprinklers frequently soon after installation to verify the integrity of the corrosion resistant coating. Thereafter, inspect representative
samples of the coated sprinklers in accordance with NFPA 25. Close up visual inspections are necessary to determine whether the sprinklers are being
affected by corrosive conditions.
Never install sprinklers that have been dropped, damaged, or exposed to temperatures in excess of the maximum ambi-
ent temperature allowed.
Refer to the appropriate current technical data pages for complete care, handling, and installation instructions. Data
pages are included with each shipment from Viking or Viking distributors. They can also be found on the Web site at www.

SPRINKLER OVERVIEW
Page 1 of 3
Form No. F_080814 18.12.06 Rev 14.1.P65
1. DESCRIPTION
Viking fire sprinklers consist of a threaded frame with a specific waterway or orifice size and a deflector for distributing water in a
specified pattern. A closed or sealed sprinkler refers to a complete assembly, including the thermosensitive operating element. An
open sprinkler does not use an operating element and is open at all times. The distribution of water is intended to extinguish a fire
or to control its spread.
Viking sprinklers are available in several models and styles. Refer to specific sprinkler technical data pages for available styles,
finishes, temperature ratings, thread sizes, and nominal K-Factors for the particular model selected.
2. LISTINGS AND APPROVALS
Refer to the Approval Charts on the appropriate sprinkler technical data page(s) and/or
approval agency listings.
3. TECHNICAL DATA
Pressure Ratings:
Maximum allowable water working pressure is 175 psig (12 Bar) unless rated and specified for high water working pressure [250
psig (17.2 bar)].
Sprinkler Identification:
Viking sprinklers are identified and marked with the word “Viking”, the sprinkler identification number (SIN) consisting of “VK” plus
a three digit number*, the model letter, and the year of manufacture.
Available Finishes:
Viking sprinklers are available in several decorative finishes. Some models are available with corrosion-resistant coatings or are
fabricated from non-corrosive material. Refer to the sprinkler technical data page for additional information.
Available Temperature Ratings:
Viking sprinklers are available in several temperature ratings that relate to a specific temperature classification. Applicable installa-
tion rules mandate the use and limitations of each temperature classification. In selecting the appropriate temperature classifica-
tion, the maximum expected ceiling temperature must be known. When there is doubt as to the maximum temperature at the
sprinkler location, a maximum-reading thermometer should be used to determine the temperature under conditions that would
show the highest readings to be expected. In addition, recognized installation rules may require a higher temperature classifica-
tion, depending upon sprinkler location, occupancy classification, commodity classification, storage height, and other hazards. In
all cases, the maximum expected ceiling temperature dictates the lowest allowable temperature classification. Sprinklers located
immediately adjacent to a heat source may require a higher temperature rating.
K-Factors:
Viking sprinklers are available in several orifice sizes with related K-Factors. The orifice is a tapered waterway and, therefore, the
K-Factor given is nominal. Nominal U.S. K-Factors are provided in accordance with the 1999 edition of NFPA 13, Section 3-2.3.
Refer to the specific data page for appropriate K-Factor information.
Available Styles:
Viking sprinklers are available for installation in several positions as indicated by a stamping on the deflector. The deflector style
dictates the appropriate installation position of the sprinkler; it breaks the solid stream of water issuing from the sprinkler orifice to
form a specific spray pattern. The following list indicates the various styles and identification of Viking sprinklers.
UPRIGHT SPRINKLER: A sprinkler intended to be installed with the deflector above the frame so water flows upward through the
orifice, striking the deflector and forming an umbrella-shaped spray pat-
tern downward. Marked “SSU” (Standard Sprinkler Upright) or “UPRIGHT”
on the deflector.
PENDENT SPRINKLER: A sprinkler intended to be oriented with the deflec-
tor below the frame so water flows downward through the orifice, striking
the deflector and forming an umbrella-shaped spray pattern downward.
Marked “SSP” (Standard Sprinkler Pendent) or “PENDENT” on the de-
flector.
CONVENTIONAL SPRINKLER: An “old style” sprinkler intended to be installed with the deflector in either the upright or pendent
position. The deflector provides a spherical type pattern with 40 to 60 percent of the water initially directed downward and a
proportion directed upward. Must be installed in accordance with installation rules for conventional or old style sprinklers. DO
NOT USE AS A REPLACEMENT FOR STANDARD SPRAY SPRINKLERS. Marked “C U/P” (Conventional Upright/Pendent) on
the deflector.

FLUSH SPRINKLER: A decorative spray sprinkler intended for installation with a concealed piping system. The unit is mounted
flush with the ceiling or wall, with the fusible link exposed. Upon actuation, the deflector extends beyond the ceiling or wall to
distribute water discharge. The sprinkler is marked “SSP”, “PEND”, or “SIDEWALL” and “TOP”.
CONCEALED SPRINKLER: A decorative spray sprinkler intended for installation with a concealed piping system. The sprinkler is
hidden from view by a cover plate installed flush with the ceiling or wall. During fire conditions, the cover plate detaches, and
upon sprinkler actuation, the deflector extends beyond the ceiling or wall to distribute water discharge. The sprinkler is marked
“SSP”, “PEND”, or “SIDEWALL” and “TOP”.
RECESSED SPRINKLER: A spray sprinkler assembly intended for installation with a concealed piping system. The assembly con-
sists of a sprinkler installed in a decorative adjustable recessed escutcheon that minimizes the protrusion of the sprinkler beyond
the ceiling or wall without adversely affecting the sprinkler distribution or sensitivity. Refer to the appropriate technical data page
for allowable sprinkler models, temperature ratings, and occupancy classifications. DO NOT RECESS ANY SPRINKLER NOT
LISTED FOR USE WITH THE ESCUTCHEON.
CORROSION-RESISTANT SPRINKLER: A special service sprinkler with non-corrosive protective coatings, or that is fabricated
from non-corrosive material, for use in atmospheres that would normally corrode sprinklers.
DRY SPRINKLER: A special-service sprinkler intended for installation on dry pipe systems or wet pipe systems where the sprinkler
is subject to freezing temperatures. The unit consists of a sprinkler permanently secured to an extension nipple with a sealed
inlet end to prevent water from entering the nipple until the sprinkler operates. The unit MUST be installed in a tee fitting. Dry
upright sprinklers are marked with the “B” dimension [distance from the face of the fitting (tee) to the top of the deflector]. Dry
pendent and sidewall sprinklers are marked with the “A” dimension [the distance from the face of fitting (tee) to the finished
surface of the ceiling or wall].
LARGE DROP SPRINKLER: A type of special application sprinkler used to provide fire control of specific high-challenge fire haz-
ards. Large drop sprinklers are designed to produce an umbrella-shaped spray pattern downward with a higher percentage of
“large” water droplets than standard spray sprinklers. The sprinkler has an extra-large orifice with a nominal K-Factor of 11.2.
Marked “HIGH CHALLENGE” and “UPRIGHT”.
EARLY SUPPRESSION FAST-RESPONSE (ESFR) SPRINKLER: A sprinkler intended to provide fire suppression of specific high-
challenge fire hazards through the use of a fast response fusible link, 14.0, 16.8, or 25.2 nominal K-Factor, and special deflector.
ESFR sprinklers are designed to produce high-momentum water droplets in a hemispherical pattern below the deflector. This
permits penetration of the fire plume and direct wetting of the burning fuel surface while cooling the atmosphere early in the
development of a high-challenge fire. Marked “ESFR” and “UPRIGHT” or “PEND”.
INTERMEDIATE LEVEL/RACK STORAGE SPRINKLER: A standard spray sprinkler assembly designed to protect its operating
element from the spray of sprinklers installed at higher elevations. The assembly consists of a standard or large orifice upright
or pendent sprinkler with an integral upright or pendent water shield and guard assembly. Use only those sprinklers that have
been tested and listed for use with the assembly. Refer to the technical data page for allowable sprinkler models.

A. Care and Handling (also refer to Bulletin - Care and Handling of Sprinklers, Form No. F_091699.)
Sprinklers must be handled with care. They must be stored in a cool, dry place in their original shipping container. Never install
sprinklers that have been dropped, damaged, or exposed to temperatures exceeding the maximum ambient temperature al-
lowed (refer to the temperature chart on the sprinkler technical data page). Never install any glass-bulb sprinkler if the bulb is
cracked or if there is a loss of liquid from the bulb. A small air bubble should be present in the glass bulb. Any sprinkler with a
loss of liquid from the glass bulb or damage to the fusible element should be destroyed immediately. (Note: Installing glass bulb
sprinklers in direct sunlight (ultraviolet light) may affect the color of the dye used to color code the bulb. This color change does
not affect the integrity of the bulb.)
Sprinklers must be protected from mechanical damage during storage, transport, handling, and after installation. Sprinklers subject
to mechanical damage must be protected with an approved sprinkler guard.
Use only sprinklers listed as corrosion resistant when subject to corrosive environments. When installing corrosion-resistant sprin-
klers, take care not to damage the corrosion-resistant coating. Use only the special wrench designed for installing coated or
recessed Viking sprinklers (any other wrench may damage the unit).
Concealed sprinklers must be installed in neutral or negative pressure plenums only!
Use care when locating sprinklers near fixtures that can generate heat. Do not install sprinklers where they could be exposed to
temperatures exceeding the maximum recommended ambient temperature for the temperature rating used.
Wet pipe systems must be provided with adequate heat. Sprinklers supplied from dry systems in areas subject to freezing must
be listed dry sprinklers, upright, or horizontal sidewall sprinklers installed so that water is not trapped. For dry systems, pendent
sprinklers and sidewall sprinklers installed on return bends are permitted, where the sprinklers, return bend, and branch line
piping are in an area maintained at or above 40 °F (4 °C).
B. Installation Instructions - Standard Spray Sprinklers
Viking sprinklers are manufactured and tested to meet the rigid requirements of approving agencies. They are designed to be
installed in accordance with recognized installation standards. Deviation from the standards or any alteration to sprinklers or cover
plate assemblies after they leave the factory including, but not limited to: painting, plating, coating, or modification, may render them
inoperative and will automatically nullify the approvals and any guarantee made by The Viking Corporation.

Visit the Viking website for the latest edition of this technical data page.
Before installation, be sure to have the appropriate sprinkler model and style, with the correct K-Factor, temperature rating, and
response characteristics. Sprinklers must be installed after the piping is in place to prevent mechanical damage. Keep sprinklers
with protective caps or bulb shields contained within the caps or shields during installation and testing, and any time the sprinkler
is shipped or handled.
1a. For frame-style sprinklers, install escutcheon (if used), which is designed to thread onto the external threads of the sprinkler.
Refer to the appropriate sprinkler data page to determine approved escutcheons for use with specific sprinkler models.
1b. For flush and concealed style sprinklers: Cut the sprinkler nipple so that the ½” or 3/4” (15 mm or 20 mm)* NPT outlet of the
reducing coupling is at the desired location, and centered in the opening* in the ceiling or wall.
*Size depends on the sprinkler model used. Refer to the sprinkler technical data page.
2. Apply a small amount of pipe-joint compound or tape to the external threads of the sprinkler only, taking care not to allow a
build-up of compound in the sprinkler inlet. NOTE: Sprinklers with protective caps or bulb shields must have the caps or shields
kept on them when applying pipe-joint compound or tape. Exception: For domed concealed sprinklers, remove the protective
cap for installation, and then place it back on the sprinkler temporarily..
3. Refer to the appropriate sprinkler technical data page to determine the correct sprinkler wrench for the model of sprinkler used.
DO NOT use the deflector or fusible element to start or thread the sprinkler into a fitting.
a. Install the sprinkler onto the piping using the special sprinkler wrench only, taking care not to over-tighten or damage the
sprinkler.
b. For flush and concealed style sprinklers: the internal diameter of the special sprinkler installation wrench is designed for use
with the sprinkler contained in the protective cap. Exception: For domed concealed sprinklers, remove the protective cap for
installation, and then place it back on the sprinkler temporarily. Thread the flush or concealed sprinkler into the ½” or 3/4”
(15 mm or 20 mm)* NPT outlet of the coupling by turning it clockwise with the special sprinkler wrench. *Thread size depends
on the particular sprinkler model used. Refer to the sprinkler technical data page.
C. Installation Instructions - Dry Sprinklers
WARNING: Viking dry sprinklers are to be installed in the 1” outlet (for dry and preaction systems), or run of malleable, ductile
iron, or Nibco CPVC* threaded tee fittings (for wet systems) that meet the dimensional requirements of ANSI B16.3 (Class 150),
or cast iron threaded tee fittings that meet the dimensional requirements of ANSI B16.4 (Class 125), even at branch line ends. The
threaded end of the dry sprinkler is designed to allow the seal to penetrate and extend into the fitting to a predetermined depth.
This prevents condensation from accumulating and freezing over the sprinkler seal. *NOTE: When using CPVC fittings with
Viking dry sprinklers, use only new Nibco Model 5012-S-Bl. When selecting other CPVC fittings, contact Viking Technical
Services.
1. DO NOT install the dry sprinkler into a threaded elbow, coupling, or any other fitting that could interfere with thread penetration.
Such installation would damage the brass seal.
2. DO NOT install dry sprinklers into couplings or fittings that would allow condensation to accumulate above the seal when the
sprinkler is located in an area subject to freezing.
3. NEVER try to modify dry sprinklers. They are manufactured for specific “A” or “B” dimensions and cannot be modified.
The dry sprinkler must be installed after the piping is in place to prevent mechanical damage. Before installation, be sure to have
the correct sprinkler model and style, with the appropriate “A” or “B” dimension(s), temperature rating, orifice size, and response
characteristics. Keep sprinklers with protective caps or bulb shields contained within the caps or shields during installation and
testing, and any time the sprinkler is shipped or handled. Exception: For concealed and adjustable recessed dry sprinklers, the
protective caps and shields are removed for installation.
To install the dry sprinkler, refer to the instructions below and the appropriate sprinkler technical data page for illustrated instruc-
tions.
Dry upright sprinklers must be installed above the piping, in the upright position only. When installing dry upright or plain barrel style
vertical sidewall sprinklers on piping located close to the ceiling, it may be necessary to lower the sprinkler into the fitting from above
the ceiling. When installing dry upright or plain barrel vertical sidewall sprinklers from below the ceiling, verify that the opening in the
ceiling is a minimum 1-1/2” (38.1 mm) in diameter.
For dry upright or plain barrel vertical sidewall sprinklers in the upright position: First, install the escutcheon (if used) over the
threaded end of the sprinkler barrel. Slide the escutcheon past the external threads. NOTE: When installing the dry upright or plain
barrel vertical sidewall sprinkler from above the ceiling, it will be necessary to install the escutcheon after lowering the threaded
end of the sprinkler through the ceiling penetration.
A. For all dry sprinklers: Apply a small amount of pipe-joint compound or tape to the external threads of the sprinkler barrel only,
taking care not to allow a build-up of compound or tape over the brass inlet and seal. NOTE: Sprinklers with protective caps or
bulb shields must be contained within the caps or shields before applying pipe-joint compound or tape.

C. Install the dry sprinkler on the piping using the special dry sprinkler wrench only, while taking care not to damage the sprinkler.
NOTE: Thread the sprinkler into the fitting hand tight, plus 1/2 turn with the dry sprinkler wrench.
D. For adjustable standard and adjustable recessed dry pendent and sidewall sprinklers: Escutcheons can be installed after the
sprinklers have been installed onto the piping. Refer to the appropriate sprinkler technical data page for escutcheon installation
instructions and illustrations.
D. Installation Instructions - Testing
4. After installation, the entire sprinkler system must be tested. The test must be conducted to comply with the installation stand-
ards. Viking high pressure sprinklers may be hydrostatically tested at a maximum of 300 psi (20.7 bar) for limited periods of time
(two hours), for the purpose of acceptance by the Authority Having Jurisdiction.
a. Make sure the sprinkler is properly tightened. If a thread leak occurs, normally the sprinkler must be removed, new pipe-joint
compound or tape applied, and then reinstalled. This is due to the fact that when the joint seal is damaged, the sealing
compound or tape is washed out of the joint. Air testing [do not exceed 40 psi (2.76 bar)] the sprinkler piping prior to testing
with water may be considered in areas where leakage during testing must be prevented. Refer to the Installation Standards
and the Authority Having Jurisdiction.
b. Remove plastic protective sprinkler caps or bulb shields AFTER the wall or ceiling finish work is completed where
the sprinkler is installed and there no longer is a potential for mechanical damage to the sprinkler operating ele-
ments. To remove the bulb shields, simply pull the ends of the shields apart where they are snapped together. To remove
caps from frame style sprinklers, turn the caps slightly and pull them off the sprinklers. SPRINKLER CAPS OR BULB
SHIELDS MUST BE REMOVED FROM SPRINKLERS BEFORE PLACING THE SYSTEM IN SERVICE! Retain a protective
cap or shield in the spare sprinkler cabinet.
5. For flush style sprinklers: the ceiling ring can now be installed onto the sprinkler body. Align the ceiling ring with the sprinkler
body and thread or push it on (depends on sprinkler model) until the outer flange touches the surface of the ceiling. Note the
maximum adjustment is 1/4” (6.35 mm). DO NOT MODIFY THE UNIT. If necessary, re-cut the sprinkler drop nipple as required.
6. For concealed sprinklers: the cover assembly can now be attached.
a. Remove the cover from the protective box, taking care not to damage the cover plate assembly.
b. Gently place the base of the cover plate assembly over the sprinkler protruding through the opening in the ceiling.
c. Push the cover plate assembly onto the sprinkler until the unfinished brass flange of the cover plate base (or the cover
adapter, if used) touches the surface of the ceiling.
d. Refer to the applicable technical data sheet to determin the maximum adjustment available for concealed sprinklers. DO NOT
MODIFY THE UNIT. If necessary, re-cut the sprinkler drop nipple.
NOTE: If it is necessary to remove the entire sprinkler unit, the system must be taken out of service. See section 6. INSPECTIONS,
TESTS AND MAINTENANCE and follow all warnings and instructions.
5. OPERATION
Refer to the appropriate sprinkler technical data page(s). During fire conditions, the operating element fuses or shatters (depending
on the type of sprinkler), releasing the pip cap and sealing assembly. Water flowing through the sprinkler orifice strikes the sprinkler
deflector, forming a uniform spray pattern to extinguish or control the fire.
IMPORTANT: Always refer to Bulletin Form No. F_091699 - Care and Handling of Sprinklers. Viking
sprinklers are to be installed in accordance with the latest edition of Viking technical data, the appro-
priate standards of NFPA, FM Global, LPCB, APSAD, VdS or other similar organizations, and also with
the provisions of governmental codes, ordinances, and standards, whenever applicable. The sprinkler
technical data page may contain installation requirements specific for the sprinkler model selected.
The use of certain types of sprinklers may be limited due to occupancy and hazard. Refer to the Authority Having
Jurisdiction prior to installation.

NOTICE: Refer to NFPA 25 for Inspection, Testing and Maintenance requirements. NOTICE: The owner is responsible for having
the fire-protection system and devices inspected, tested, and maintained in proper operating condition in accordance with this
guide, and applicable NFPA standards. In addition, the Authority Having Jurisdiction may have additional maintenance, testing, and
inspection requirements that must be followed.
A. Sprinklers must be inspected on a regular basis for corrosion, mechanical damage, obstructions, paint, etc. Frequency of inspec-
tions may vary due to corrosive atmospheres, water supplies, and activity around the sprinkler unit.
B. Sprinklers or cover plate assemblies that have been field painted, caulked, or mechanically damaged must be replaced im-
mediately. Sprinklers showing signs of corrosion shall be tested and/or replaced immediately as required. Installation standards
require sprinklers to be tested and, if necessary, replaced after a specified term of service. Refer to NFPA 25 and the Authority
Having Jurisdiction for the specified period of time after which testing and/or replacement is required. Never attempt to repair
or reassemble a sprinkler. Sprinklers and cover assemblies that have operated cannot be reassembled or re-used, but must
be replaced. When replacement is necessary, use only new sprinklers and cover assemblies with identical performance char-
acteristics.
C. The sprinkler discharge pattern is critical for proper fire protection. Therefore, nothing should be hung from, attached to, or
otherwise obstruct the discharge pattern. All obstructions must be immediately removed or, if necessary, additional sprinklers
installed.
D. When replacing existing sprinklers, the system must be removed from service. Refer to the appropriate system description and/
or valve instructions. Prior to removing the system from service, notify all Authorities Having Jurisdiction. Consideration should
be given to employment of a fire patrol in the affected area.
1. Remove the system from service, drain all water, and relieve all pressure on the piping.
2a. For frame-style sprinklers, use the special sprinkler wrench to remove the old sprinkler by turning it counterclockwise to
unthread it from the piping.
2b. For flush and concealed style sprinklers: Remove the ceiling ring or cover plate assem-
bly before unthreading the sprinkler body from the piping. Ceiling rings and cover plates can be removed ei-
ther by gently unthreading them or pulling them off the sprinkler body (depends on the sprinkler model used).
After the ceiling ring or cover plate assembly has been removed from the sprinkler body, place the plastic protective cap
(from the spare sprinkler cabinet) over the sprinkler to be removed and then fit the sprinkler wrench over the cap. Then
use the wrench to unthread the sprinkler from the piping. Exception: Domed concealed sprinklers are removed without the
plastic cap.
3. Install the new sprinkler unit by following the instructions in section 4. INSTALLATION. Care must be taken to ensure that the
replacement sprinkler is the proper model and style, with the correct K-Factor, temperature rating, and response character-
istics. A fully stocked spare sprinkler cabinet should be provided for this purpose. For flush or concealed sprinklers: stock of
spare ceiling rings or cover plates should also be available in the spare sprinkler cabinet.
E. Place the system back in service and secure all valves. Check for and repair all leaks. Sprinkler systems that have been sub-
jected to a fire must be returned to service as soon as possible. The entire system must be inspected for damage, and repaired
or replaced as necessary. Sprinklers that have been exposed to corrosive products of combustion or high ambient temperatures,
but have not operated, should be replaced. Refer to the Authority Having Jurisdiction for minimum replacement requirements.

During fire conditions, the heat-sensitive liquid in the glass bulb expands, causing the glass to shatter, releasing the pip cap and
sealing spring assembly. Water flowing through the sprinkler orifice strikes the sprinkler deflector, forming a uniform spray pattern
to extinguish or control the fire.
6. INSPECTIONS, TESTS AND MAINTENANCE
Refer to NFPA 25 for Inspection, Testing and Maintenance requirements.
7. AVAILABILITY
The Viking Microfast® Quick Response Pendent Sprinkler VK302 is available through a network of domestic and international dis-
tributors. See The Viking Corporation web site for the closest distributor or contact The Viking Corporation.

USE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS WHEN HANDLING WAX-COATED SPRINKLERS
Many of Viking’s sprinklers are available with factory-applied wax coating for corrosion resistance. These sprinklers MUST receive
appropriate care and handling to avoid damaging the wax coating and to assure satisfactory performance of the product.
General Handling and Storage of Wax-Coated Sprinklers:
• Store the sprinklers in a cool, dry place (in temperatures below the maximum ambient temperature allowed for the sprinkler temperature rating. Refer
to Table 1 below.)
• Store containers of wax-coated sprinklers separate from other sprinklers.
• Protect the sprinklers during storage, transport, handling, and after installation.
• Use original shipping containers.
• Do not place sprinklers in loose boxes, bins, or buckets.
Installation of Wax-Coated Sprinklers:
Use only the special sprinkler head wrench designed for installing wax-coated Viking sprinklers (any other wrench may damage
the unit).
• Take care not to crack the wax coating on the units.
• For touching up the wax coating after installation, wax is available from Viking in bar form. Refer to Table 1 below. The coating MUST be repaired after
sprinkler installation to protect the corrosion-resistant properties of the sprinkler.
• Use care when locating sprinklers near fixtures that can generate heat. Do not install sprinklers where they would be exposed to temperatures exceed-
ing the maximum recommended ambient temperature for the temperature rating used.
• Inspect the coated sprinklers frequently soon after installation to verify the integrity of the corrosion resistant coating. Thereafter, inspect representative
samples of the coated sprinklers in accordance with NFPA 25. Close up visual inspections are necessary to determine whether the sprinklers are being
affected by corrosive conditions.
Never install sprinklers that have been dropped, damaged, or exposed to temperatures in excess of the maximum ambi-
ent temperature allowed.
Refer to the appropriate current technical data pages for complete care, handling, and installation instructions. Data
pages are included with each shipment from Viking or Viking distributors. They can also be found on the Web site at www.

USE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS WHEN HANDLING WAX-COATED SPRINKLERS
Many of Viking’s sprinklers are available with factory-applied wax coating for corrosion resistance. These sprinklers MUST receive
appropriate care and handling to avoid damaging the wax coating and to assure satisfactory performance of the product.
General Handling and Storage of Wax-Coated Sprinklers:
• Store the sprinklers in a cool, dry place (in temperatures below the maximum ambient temperature allowed for the sprinkler temperature rating. Refer
to Table 1 below.)
• Store containers of wax-coated sprinklers separate from other sprinklers.
• Protect the sprinklers during storage, transport, handling, and after installation.
• Use original shipping containers.
• Do not place sprinklers in loose boxes, bins, or buckets.
Installation of Wax-Coated Sprinklers:
Use only the special sprinkler head wrench designed for installing wax-coated Viking sprinklers (any other wrench may damage
the unit).
• Take care not to crack the wax coating on the units.
• For touching up the wax coating after installation, wax is available from Viking in bar form. Refer to Table 1 below. The coating MUST be repaired after
sprinkler installation to protect the corrosion-resistant properties of the sprinkler.
• Use care when locating sprinklers near fixtures that can generate heat. Do not install sprinklers where they would be exposed to temperatures exceed-
ing the maximum recommended ambient temperature for the temperature rating used.
• Inspect the coated sprinklers frequently soon after installation to verify the integrity of the corrosion resistant coating. Thereafter, inspect representative
samples of the coated sprinklers in accordance with NFPA 25. Close up visual inspections are necessary to determine whether the sprinklers are being
affected by corrosive conditions.
Never install sprinklers that have been dropped, damaged, or exposed to temperatures in excess of the maximum ambi-
ent temperature allowed.
Refer to the appropriate current technical data pages for complete care, handling, and installation instructions. Data
pages are included with each shipment from Viking or Viking distributors. They can also be found on the Web site at www.
