New Residential Fire Sprinkler - Viking Concealed Fire Sprinkler

June 19, 2013 - PRLog -- Residential Fire Sprinklers

A New Viking Residential Flat Plate Concealed Fire Sprinkler is now available from Swift Fire Protection to protect your home against fire.  Swift Fire Protection ( http://www.swiftfireprotection.com ) is a leading fire sprinkler supplier and can help you with all your fire sprinkler parts and fire protection equipment needs.

Viking Corporation, a global leader in fire protection and life safety systems, has extended its Freedom® residential fire sprinkler line to include a “small orifice,” flat-plate concealed pendent fire sprinkler. The new model VK488 fire sprinkler has a K Factor of 3.0 (43) and is UL Listed with a flow rate of only 8 GPM (30 L/min), and a pressure requirement of only 7.1 PSI (0.49 bar), in a 12 x 12 ft (3,7 x, 3,7m) room size.

This new sprinkler head is offered in addition to the model VK470, 3.0 K factor residential pendent fire sprinkler, which Viking introduced in 2012.  With its smaller K Factor and lower Listed flow rates, the VK488 fire sprinkler is well-suited for 13D residential fire sprinkler systems where the available water supply is a concern. In these systems, the VK488 fire sprinkler could allow for reduced pipe sizes, a smaller water meter, and/or the elimination of a tank and pump. In addition to the 12 x 12 ft (3.7x 3.7 m) room size indicated above, the new fire sprinkler is also UL Listed for 14 x 14 ft (4.3 x 4.3 m) and 16 x 16 ft (4.9 x 4.9 m) coverage areas.

The new VK488 fire sprinkler has a ½ in (15 mm) NPT thread size and is available with a temperature rating of 165°F (74°C). The fire sprinkler cover plate for the VK488 is offered in three different options including standard/small diameter, large diameter, and Viking’s exclusive square cover plate. All three fire sprinkler cover plate options have a temperature rating of 135°F (57°C). Like all concealed fire sprinklers from Viking, flat fire sprinkler cover plates are available in several standard finishes and a nearly unlimited number of custom colors.
