Footnotes
1.
Where a dash (-) is shown in the Finish suffix designation, insert the desired Temperature Rating suffix. See example above.
2.
Based on NFPA 13, NFPA 13R, and NFPA 13D. Other limits may apply, depending on fire loading, sprinkler location, and other requirements of the Authority Having
Jurisdiction. Refer to specific installation standards.
3.
UL Listed as corrosion resistant.
4.
FM Approved as corrosion resistant.
5.
The corrosion resistant and corrosion proofing coatings have 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 coatings are compatible with or
suitable for the proposed environment. For automatic sprinklers, the ENT coating is applied to all exposed exterior surfaces, including the waterway.
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 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 Sprinklers are available through a network of domestic and international distributors. See the website for the closest
distributor or contact Viking.
8. GUARANTEE
