Ordering Information:

 (Also refer to the current Viking price list.)

Order Standard Response Extra-Large Orifice Upright Sprinkler VK530 by first adding the appropriate suffix for the sprinkler fin-

ish and then the appropriate suffix for the temperature rating to the sprinkler base part number. 

Finish Suffix: Brass = A, Chrome = F, White Polyester = M-/W, Black Polyester = M-/B, Black PTFE = N, Wax Coated = C, 

ENT = JN

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

For example, sprinkler VK530 with a Brass finish and a 155 °F/68 °C temperature rating = Part No. 09679AB

Available Finishes And Temperature Ratings:

 Refer to Table 1

Sprinkler Wrenches:

A. Standard Wrench: Part No. 05118CW/B (available since 1981). 

Sprinkler Cabinets:

A. Six-head capacity: Part No. 01724A (available since 1971)

B. Twelve-head capacity: Part No. 01725A (available since 1971)

4.  INSTALLATION

Refer to appropriate NFPA Installation Standards.

5.  OPERATION

During fire conditions, when the temperature around the sprinkler reaches its operating temperature, the heat-sensitive liquid in 

the glass bulb expands, causing the bulb 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

Viking Standard Response Extra-Large Orifice Upright Sprinkler VK530 is available through a network of domestic and international 

distributors. See The Viking Corporation web site for the closest distributor or contact The Viking Corporation.

8.  GUARANTEE
