Order Frame Style Spray Nozzles by selecting the appropriate part number from the Approval Chart. Add the appropriate suffix 

for the nozzle finish and then the appropriate suffix for the temperature rating to the spray nozzle base part number. 

Finish Suffix: Brass = A, Black PTFE = N

Temperature Suffix (°F/°C): 135°/57° = A, 155°/68° = B, 175°/79° = D, 200°/93° = E, 286°/141° = G, OPEN = Z.

For example, a 60° Spray Nozzle, 5.6 K-Factor with a Brass finish and a 155 °F/68 °C temperature rating = Part No. 21365AB

4.  INSTALLATION

 WARNING

Viking  Frame  Style  Spray  Nozzles  are  manufactured  and  tested  to  meet  the  rigid  requirements  of  the  approving 

agency. The nozzles are designed to be installed in accordance with recognized installation standards. Deviation from 

the standards or any alteration to the nozzle after it leaves the factory including, but not limited to: painting, plating, 

coating, or modification, may render the unit inoperative and will automatically nullify the approval and any guarantee 

made by The Viking Corporation.

Footnotes

1

 The sprinkler temperature rating is stamped on the deflector.

 Based on NFPA-13. Other limits may apply, depending on fire loading, sprinkler location, and other requirements of the Authority Having Jurisdiction. 

Refer to specific installation standards.

 The corrosion-resistant coating has passed the standard corrosion test required by the approving agencies indicated in the Approval Chart. These 

tests cannot and do not represent all possible corrosive environments. Prior to installation, verify through the end-user that the coating is compatible 

with or suitable for the proposed environment. For automatic spray nozzles, the coating is applied to the exposed exterior surfaces only. Note that 

the spring is exposed on sprinklers with PTFE coatings. For PTFE coated open spray nozzles only, the waterway is coated.
