1. DESCRIPTION
The Viking MicrofastHP® Quick Response Upright High Pressure Sprinkler
VK315 is a small, thermosensitive, glass-bulb spray sprinkler available in
several different finishes and temperature ratings to meet design require-
ments. The special Polyester and Electroless Nickel PTFE (ENT) coatings
can be used in decorative applications where colors are desired. In addition,
these coatings have been investigated for installation in corrosive atmospheres
and are listed/approved as corrosion resistant as indicated in the Approval
Charts.
Refer to Approval Chart 1 and Design Criteria on for cULus Listing requirements.
3. TECHNICAL DATA !
Minimum Operating Pressure: 7 psi (0.5 bar)
Maximum Working Pressure: 250 psi (17 bar) wwp.
Factory tested hydrostatically to 500 psi (34.5 bar)
Testing: U.S.A. Patent No. 4,831,870
Thread size: 1/2” NPT, 15 mm BSP
Nominal K-Factor: 5.6 U.S. (80.6 metric*)
Glass-bulb fluid temperature rated to -65 °F (-55 °C)
Overall Length: 2-3/16” (56 mm)
* Metric K-factor measurment shown is in Bar. When pressure is measured in kPa, divide the metric K-factor shown by 10.0.
4. INSTALLATION
Refer to appropriate NFPA Installation Standards.
5. OPERATION
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.

1. DESCRIPTION
Viking Mirage® Standard and Quick Response Concealed Pendent Sprinkler VK462
and HP Sprinkler VK463 are thermosensitive glass-bulb spray sprinklers designed for
installation on concealed pipe systems where the appearance of a smooth ceiling is
desired.
The sprinkler is pre-assembled with a threaded adapter for installation with a low-
profile cover assembly that provides up to ½” (12.7 mm) of vertical adjustment. The
two-piece design allows installation and testing of the sprinkler prior to installation of
the cover plate. The “push-on”, “thread-off” design of the concealed cover plate assem-
bly allows easy installation of the cover plate after the system has been tested and the
ceiling finish has been applied. The cover assembly can be removed and reinstalled,
allowing temporary removal of ceiling panels without taking the sprinkler system out of
service or removing the sprinkler. The Electroless Nickel PTFE (ENT) coating has been
investigated for installation in corrosive environments and is cULus Listed as indicated
in the Approval Charts. The ENT finish is only available for the sprinkler assembly, the
cover plate is not plated.

1. DESCRIPTION
The Viking Microfast® Standard/Quick Response Extended Coverage Horizontal
Sidewall Sprinkler VK605 is thermosensitive spray sprinklers available in several dif-
ferent finishes and temperature ratings to meet varying design requirements. The ori-
fice design allows efficient use of available water supplies for hydraulically designed
fire-protection systems. The glass bulb operating element and special deflector
characteristics meet the challenges of quick response extended coverage standards.
The special Polyester and Electroless Nickel PTFE (ENT) coatings can be used in
decorative applications where colors are desired. In addition, the Electroless Nickel
PTFE (ENT) coating has been investigated for installation in corrosive environments
and is listed/approved as indicated in the Approval Chart(s).
Refer to the Approval Chart and Design Criteria for cULus Listing requirements that
must be followed. !

5. OPERATION
During fire conditions, 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 require-
ments.
7. AVAILABILITY
Viking Model VK605 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
For details of warranty, refer to Viking’s current list price schedule or contact Viking directly.

• In sloped ceiling installations, sprinkler VK605 is listed for installation at the high-point intersection of the wall and the ceiling. In sloped ceiling
installations, the spray must be directed down the slope. Spray may NOT be directed across the slope. Refer to Figure 6.
• Listed area of coverage for sloped ceilings corresponds to ceiling slope. (For sloped ceiling applications, actual floor coverage will be less than
the listed area.)
• Refer to the Approval Chart for required deflector distance below the ceiling. Install with the leading edge of the deflector oriented parallel to the
ceiling (see Figure 4).
• Minimum distance from end walls is 4 in. (102 mm).
• Maximum distance from the end wall shall be no more than one-half of the allowable distance between sprinklers. The distance shall be measured
perpendicular to the wall.
• The sprinkler installation and obstruction rules contained in NFPA 13 for extended coverage sidewall spray sprinklers must be followed.

PRESSURE RESTRICTING ANGLE VALVES
A155 AND A156 SERIES
Determining the proper outlet pressure A155 - A156 1 1/2” SETTING: 1-6
1- The valves are reducing the downstream water pressure under flowing
(residual) condition only. 150
The valve should not be set to provide less than the minimum pressure
Flow [gpm]
required by NFPA 14 while flowing 250 GPM for 2 1/2” size and 100 GPM for 130
1 1/2” size.
NFPA 14 requires that Standpipe systems shall be hydraulically designed to 110
provide the required water flow rate at a minimum residual pressure of 100
90 set-06
PSI at the outlet of hydraulically most remote 2 1/2” hose connection and 65 set-05
set-04
PSI at the outlet at the hydraulically most remote 1 1/2” hose station.

There will be a pressure drop due to friction between the outlet and the nozzle.

The amount of this loss should be calculated by qualified personnel, to assure 50 55 60 65 70 75 80 85 90 95 100 105 110 115 120
that the nozzle receives water pressure sufficient to its design needs. Pressure difference Inlet-Outlet [PSI]
Note that some fire hose nozzles may not operate properly when valve outlet
pressure is set at the 100 PSI minimum authorized in the 2007 edition of NFPA 14.
The installer should consult with the fire authorities concerning pressures A155 - A156 1 1/2” SETTING: 7-F.O.
needed by their equipment.
The outlet pressures indicated in the curves are at the outlet of the valve. 320
