1. DESCRIPTION
Viking Freedom® Residential Pendent Sprinkler VK470 is a thermosensitive, glass-bulb
residential sprinkler available in several different finishes and temperature ratings to meet
varying design requirements. The Electroless Nickel PTFE (ENT) coating has been inves-
tigated for installation in corrosive atmospheres and is C-UL-US-EU Listed as corrosion
resistant as indicated in the Approval Chart. The sprinkler orifice design, with a K-Factor
of 3.0 (43.2 metric*), allows efficient use of available water supplies for the hydraulically
designed fire-protection system. The glass bulb operating element and special deflector
characteristics meet the challenges of residential sprinkler standards.

Refer to specific installation standards.
B. Installation Instructions
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 NFPA 13, NFPA 13R, and NFPA 13D, and any associated TIAs.
Deviation from the standards or any alteration to the sprinklers or cover plate assemblies after they leave the factory including,
but not limited to: painting, plating, coating, or modification, may render the sprinklers inoperative and will automatically nullify the
approval and any guarantee made by Viking.
The use of residential sprinklers may be limited due to occupancy and hazard. Residential fire protection systems must be designed
and installed only by those who are completely familiar with the appropriate standards and codes, and thoroughly experienced in
fire protection design, hydraulic calculations, and sprinkler system installation.
Before installation, be sure to have the appropriate sprinkler model and style, with the correct K-Factor, temperature rating, and
response characteristics. Viking residential 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 technical 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 appropriate sprinkler data page.

SPRINKLER
INSTALLATION GUIDE
Form No. F_080190 18.10.25 Rev 16.1.P65
DESIGN CRITERIA
For Systems Designed to NFPA 13D or NFPA 13R: Apply the listed areas of coverage and minimum water supply requirements shown in
the approval charts on the residential sprinkler data pages. The sprinkler flow rate is the minimum required discharge from each of the total
number of design sprinklers as specified in NFPA 13D or NFPA 13R.
For Systems Designed to the latest edition of NFPA 13: The number of design sprinklers is to be the four most hydraulically demanding
sprinklers. The minimum required discharge from each of the four sprinklers is to be the greater of the following:
• The flow rates given in the approval charts on the data pages for NFPA 13D and NFPA13R for each area of coverage listed, or
• Calculated based on a minimum discharge of 0.1 gpm/sq. ft. over the “design area” in accordance with sections 8.5.2.1 or 8.6.2.1.2 of NFPA 13.
The greatest dimension of the coverage area cannot be any greater than the maximum areas of coverage shown on the data pages.
Flow Rates
All residential sprinklers manufactured on or after July 12, 2002 are listed with a single minimum flow rate. Where rooms have more than one sprinkler,
multiple-sprinkler calculations are still required, but the first sprinkler and any additional sprinkler or sprinklers must be calculated flowing at identical mini-
mum flow rates, based on the area of sprinkler coverage, using the minimum flow and pressure listed for the sprinkler model used.
Consult the appropriate standards and the Authorities Having Jurisdiction to determine the number of sprinklers to hydraulically calculate to verify ad-
equate water supply for multiple-sprinkler operation.
Operating Pressure: The minimum operating pressure of any sprinkler shall be the minimum operating pressure specified by the listing, or 7 psi (0.5
bar), whichever is greater. The maximum allowable operating pressure is 175 psi (12 bar).
Areas of Coverage
If the actual area of coverage is less than the listed area of coverage, use the minimum water supply for the next larger area of coverage listed. DO NOT
interpolate. Residential sprinkler systems must be hydraulically calculated according to NFPA standards to verify that the water supply is adequate for
proper operation of the sprinklers. Hydraulic calculations are required to verify adequate water supply at the hydraulically most remote single sprinkler
when it is operating at the minimum gpm and psi listed for single-sprinkler operation for the sprinkler model used.
Viking residential sprinklers may be listed for more than one area of coverage. Suggested practice in selecting area of coverage is to select the one
that can be adequately supplied by the available water supply and still allow for the installation of as few sprinklers in a compartment as possible while
observing all guidelines pertaining to obstructions and spacing. This maximizes the use of the available water supply, which is often limited on residential
fire protection systems. After selecting an appropriate area of coverage, sprinklers must be spaced according to guidelines set forth in the installation
standards.
Definition of “COMPARTMENT”: A space completely enclosed by walls and a ceiling. Openings to an adjoining space are allowed, provided the open-
ings have a minimum lintel depth of 8 in. (203.2 mm) from the ceiling.
Spacing Guidelines
For guidelines concerning spacing of Viking residential sprinklers near beams, obstructions, heat sources, and sloped ceilings [slopes more than a
2/12 (9.5°) pitch], refer to the Viking residential sprinkler data pages and installation guide, the appropriate NFPA standard, and the Authority Having
Jurisdiction. NOTE: Sloped, beamed, and pitched ceilings could require special design features such as larger flow, or a design for more sprinklers to
operate in the compartment, or both.
Distance from Walls: Install not more than one-half the listed sprinkler spacing nor less than 4” (102 mm) from walls, partitions, or obstructions as
defined in the standards.
Minimum Sprinkler Spacing: The minimum distance between residential sprinklers to prevent cold soldering (i.e., the spray from one operating sprink-
ler onto an adjacent sprinkler that could prevent its proper activation) is 8 ft. (2.4 m).
Maximum Sprinkler Spacing: Locate adjacent sprinklers no farther apart than the listed spacing.
Deflector Position: Install frame style residential pendent sprinklers with the deflector between 1” and 4” (25.4 mm to 102 mm) below smooth ceilings,
unless the sprinkler data page indicates otherwise. Install pendent sprinklers in the pendent position only, with the deflector oriented parallel with the ceiling
or roof.
Refer to the individual listings in the residential sprinkler data pages for horizontal sidewall sprinkler deflector or sprinkler centerline distance below
the ceiling. Install horizontal sidewall sprinklers in the horizontal position only below smooth ceilings, with the leading edge of the deflector or element
assembly oriented parallel with the ceiling.
IMPORTANT: Always refer to Bulletin Form No. F_091699 - Care and Handling of Sprinklers. Also refer to the ap-
propriate sprinkler data page. Viking sprinklers are to be installed in accordance with the latest edition of Viking
technical data, the appropriate standards of NFPA and any other similar Authorities Having Jurisdiction, and also
with the provisions of governmental codes, ordinances, and standards, whenever applicable. Final approval and
acceptance of all residential sprinkler installations must be obtained from the Authorities Having Jurisdiction.

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 be contained within the
caps or shields before applying pipe-joint compound or tape. Exception: For concealed sprinklers (i.e., VK457, VK458, VK468,
VK474, and VK4570) the protective cap is removed for installation.
3. Care must be taken when installing sprinklers on CPVC and copper piping systems. Never install the sprinkler into the re-
ducing fitting before attaching the reducing fitting to the piping. Sprinklers must be installed on CPVC systems after the
reducing fitting has been installed and the primer and/or cement manufacturer’s recommended curing time has elapsed.
When installing sprinklers on copper piping systems, take care to brush the inside of the sprinkler supply piping and reducing
fitting to ensure that no flux accumulates in the sprinkler orifice. Excess flux can cause corrosion and may impair the ability of
the sprinkler to operate properly.
4. Refer to the appropriate sprinkler technical data page to determine the correct sprinkler wrench for the model of sprinkler used.
DO NOT use the sprinkler 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, while taking care not to over-tighten or damage
the sprinkler operating parts.
b. 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 clock-
wise with the special sprinkler wrench. NOTE: For flush and concealed sprinklers with protective shells, the internal diameter
of the special flush and concealed sprinkler installation wrench is designed for use with the sprinkler contained within the
shell. Exception: For concealed sprinklers VK457, VK458, VK468, VK474, and VK4570 the protective cap is removed for
installation, and then placed back on the sprinkler temporarily.
5. After installation, the entire sprinkler system must be tested. The test must be conducted to comply with the installation standards.
a. Make sure the sprinkler has been properly tightened. If a thread leak occurs, normally the unit must be removed, new
pipe-joint compound or tape applied, and then reinstalled. This is due to the fact that when the joint seal leaks, the sealing
compound is washed out of the joint.
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.
6. For residential flush sprinklers, the ceiling ring can now be installed onto the sprinkler body. Align the ceiling ring with the sprin-
kler body and thread on or push it on until the flange touches the ceiling. Note the maximum vertical adjustment is ½” (12,7
mm) for sprinkler VK420 and 5/8” for VK476. DO NOT MODIFY THE UNIT. If necessary, re-cut the sprinkler drop nipples as
required.
7. For residential concealed sprinklers, the cover plate assembly can now be attached.
a. Remove the cover plate assembly from the protective box, taking care not to damage the assembly.
b. From below the ceiling, gently place the base of the cover plate assembly over the sprinkler protruding through the opening
in the ceiling or wall.
c. Carefully push the cover plate assembly onto the sprinkler, using even pressure with the palm of the hand, until the unfinished
brass flange of the cover plate base touches the ceiling or wall.
d. The maximum adjustment available for residential concealed sprinklers is ½” (12.7 mm) [1/4” (6.4 mm) for sprinkler VK480].
DO NOT MODIFY THE UNIT. If necessary, re-cut the sprinkler nipples.
NOTE: If it is necessary to remove the entire sprinkler unit, the system must be taken out of service. See Maintenance instructions
below and follow all warnings and instructions.
5. OPERATION
During fire conditions, the operating element fuses or shatters (depending on the type of sprinkler), releasing the pip cap and seal-
ing assembly. Water flowing through the sprinkler orifice strikes the sprinkler deflector or flow shaper, forming a uniform, high-wall
wetting spray pattern to extinguish or control the fire.

6. INSPECTIONS, TESTS AND MAINTENANCE
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 signs of corrosion, mechanical damage, obstructions, paint, etc. Frequency
of the inspections may vary due to corrosive atmospheres, water supplies, and activity around the device.
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 immediately after a specified term of service. Refer to NFPA 25 and
the Authorities Having Jurisdiction for the specified period of time after which testing and/or replacement of residential sprinklers
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 characteristics.
C. The sprinkler discharge pattern is critical for proper fire protection. Nothing should be hung from, attached to, or otherwise ob-
struct the discharge pattern of the sprinkler. 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 effected 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 and remove the old sprinkler by turning it counterclockwise to
unthread it from the piping.
2b. For residential flush pendent and concealed style sprinklers: Remove the ceiling ring or cover plate assembly before unthreading the
sprinkler body from the piping. To remove a ceiling ring, grasp it from below the ceiling and gently turn it counterclockwise. Cover
plates can be removed either 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, use the sprinkler wrench to unthread
the sprinkler from the piping. NOTE: For flush and concealed sprinklers with protective shells, the internal diameter of the
special flush and concealed sprinkler installation wrench is designed for use with the sprinkler contained within the shell.
Place a plastic protective shell (from the spare sprinkler cabinet) over the sprinkler to be removed and then fit the sprinkler
wrench over the shell. Exception: Concealed sprinklers VK457, VK458, VK468, VK474, and VK4570 are removed without
the plastic cap.
3. Follow instructions in section 4B. Installation Instructions to install the new unit. Be sure the replacement sprinkler is the
correct model and style, with the appropriate K-Factor, temperature rating, and response characteristics. A fully stocked
sprinkler cabinet should be provided for this purpose. (For flush or concealed style sprinklers, stock of spare ceiling rings or
cover plates should also be available in the spare sprinkler cabinet.)
4. Place the system back in service and secure all valves. Check for and repair all leaks.
E. Sprinkler systems that have been subjected 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.

Many Viking sprinklers are available with a plastic protective cap or shield temporarily covering the operating elements. The snap-
on shields and caps are factory installed and are intended to help protect the operating elements from mechanical damage during
shipping, storage, and installation. NOTE: It is still necessary to follow the care and handling instructions on the appropriate sprin-
kler technical data sheets* when installing sprinklers with bulb shields or caps.
WHEN TO REMOVE THE SHIELDS AND CAPS:
NOTE: SHIELDS AND CAPS MUST BE REMOVED FROM SPRINKLERS BEFORE PLACING THE SYSTEM IN SERVICE!
Remove the shield or cap from the sprinkler only after checking all of the following:
• The sprinkler has been installed*.
• 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 elements.
SHIELDS AND CAPS MUST BE REMOVED FROM SPRINKLERS BEFORE PLACING THE SYSTEM IN SERVICE!
Figure 1: Sprinkler shield being removed from a pendent sprinkler.Figure 2: Sprinkler cap being removed from a pendent sprinkler.Figure 3: Sprinkler cap being re-moved from and upright sprinkler.
HOW TO REMOVE SHIELDS AND CAPS:
No tools are necessary to remove the shields or caps from sprinklers. DO NOT use any sharp objects to remove them! Take care
not to cause mechanical damage to sprinklers when removing the shields or caps. When removing caps from fusible ele-
ment sprinklers, use care to prevent dislodging ejector springs or damaging fusible elements. NOTE: Squeezing the sprinkler cap
excessively could damage sprinkler fusible elements.
• To remove the shield, simply pull the ends of the shield apart where it is snapped together. Refer to Figure 1.
• To remove the cap, turn it slightly and pull it off the sprinkler. Refer to Figures 2 and 3.

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-

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.

Form No. F_080814 18.12.06 Rev 14.1.P65
VERTICAL SIDEWALL (VSW) SPRINKLER: A sprinkler intended for installation near the wall and ceiling. The deflector provides a
water spray pattern outward in a quarter-spherical pattern and can be installed in the upright or pendent position with the flow
arrow in the direction of discharge. Marked “SIDEWALL” on the deflector with an arrow and the word “FLOW”. (Note: Some
vertical sidewall sprinklers can only be installed in the upright or pendent position—in this case, the sprinkler will also be marked
“UPRIGHT” or “PENDENT”.)
HORIZONTAL SIDEWALL (HSW) SPRINKLER: A sprinkler intended for installation near the wall and ceiling. The special deflector
provides a water spray pattern outward in a quarter-spherical pattern. Most of the water is directed away from the nearby wall
with a small portion directed at the wall behind the sprinkler. The top of the deflector is oriented parallel with the ceiling or roof.
The flow arrows point in the direction of discharge. Marked “SIDEWALL” and “TOP” with an arrow and the word “FLOW”.
EXTENDED COVERAGE (EC) SPRINKLER: A spray sprinkler designed to discharge water over an area having the maximum
dimensions indicated in the individual listings. Maximum area of coverage, minimum flow rate, orifice size, and nominal K-Factor
are specified in the individual listings. EC sprinklers are intended for Light-Hazard occupancies with smooth, flat, horizontal ceil-
ings unless otherwise specified. In addition to the above markings, the sprinkler is marked “EC”.
QUICK RESPONSE (QR) SPRINKLER: A spray sprinkler with a fast- actuating operating element. The use of quick response
sprinklers may be limited due to occupancy and hazard. Refer to the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) prior to installing.
QUICK RESPONSE EXTENDED COVERAGE (QREC) SPRINKLER: A spray sprinkler designed to discharge water over an area
having the maximum dimensions indicated in the individual listing. This is a sprinkler with an operating element that meets the
criteria for quick response. QREC sprinklers are only intended for Light Hazard occupancies. The sprinkler is marked “QREC”.
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.
RESIDENTIAL SPRINKLER: A sprinkler intended for use in the following occupancies: one- and two-family dwellings with the fire
protection sprinkler system installed in accordance with NFPA 13D; residential occupancies up to four stories in height with the
fire protection system installed in accordance with NFPA 13R; and where allowed by the Authority Having Jurisdiction in resi-
dential portions of any occupancy with the fire protection system installed in accordance with NFPA 13.

SPRINKLERS ARE FRAGILE - HANDLE WITH CARE!
• Always keep sprinklers in a cool dry place.
• Protect sprinklers during storage, transport and handling as well as before, during and after installation. Refer
to Viking’s Care and Handling of Sprinklers Bulletin Form No. F_0916992.
• Proper transit, storage and installation of sprinklers in a high-heat environment is a must. Care should be
taken to prevent sprinklers from being exposed to ambient heat conditions in excess of those referenced in
installation standards.
• Do not stage or store sprinklers on the job site in advance in a non-conditioned space prior to installation.
• Keep sprinklers in the original packaging and check temperature indicators on box label prior to installation.
If the indicator has turned black, DO NOT install any product contained in the box. Refer to Viking product
return policies.
• Temperatures exceeding the maximum ambient temperature of the sprinkler temperature-rating during
storage, transport, handling and installation must be avoided.
• Per NFPA standards 13, 13R, and 13D, sprinklers installed where maximum ambient temperatures are
at or over 101 °F (38 °C ) through 150 °F (66 °C) shall be intermediate temperature-rated sprinklers.
Additionally, if sprinklers are installed in an unventilated concealed space under an uninsulated roof or in
an unventilated attic, they shall be of intermediate temperature classification.
• Sprinklers installed where ambient temperatures are at or below 100 °F (38 °C) may be either ordinary or
intermediate temperature-rated sprinklers. Refer to NFPA standards 13R 6.2.3.1 and 13D 7.5.6.1.
• Rough-in of sprinkler piping during hot weather conditions should not include the installation of sprinklers
unless reasonable ambient temperatures can be maintained. Ambient temperatures that are considered
when choosing the temperature rating for a sprinkler should take into account the range of ambient
temperatures that are expected from installation through establishment and maintenance of temperature
in a conditioned space. Appropriate insulation may be considered. Example: An ordinary temperature
sprinkler should not be exposed to maximum ambient temperature higher than 100 °F (38 °C) or more.
Refer to NFPA 13, Table 6.2.5.1, NFPA 13R, 6.2.3.1 and NFPA 13D, 7.5.6.1.
• CPVC fire sprinkler products exposed to high ambient temperatures (e.g. installed in unventilated, concealed
spaces such as attics) should be insulated to maintain a cooler environment. Refer to Viking Plastics
Installation and Design Manual, Form No. F_0807122, for care and handling procedures.
• Protect all sprinklers and connecting CPVC piping in attic spaces and unvented concealed spaces from
excessive heat exposure above 100 °F (38 °C). To separate excessive attic heat, properly tent and fully
insulate all pipe in unconditioned spaces.
• Pressure relief valves should be installed on wet sprinkler systems where there is a risk of over-pressurization
of a checked water supply, due to thermal expansion. Refer to NFPA 13, 7.1.2.1 and NFPA 13D, A.5.2.2.2.
• Fire sprinkler systems should be installed per current referenced editions of building codes and installation
standards adopted in the jurisdiction where work is being performed.
