Viking VK341 K2.8 Quick Response Upright High Pressure Fire Sprinkler

The Viking VK341 is a high-performance upright fire sprinkler specifically engineered for demanding commercial and industrial environments. Featuring a quick response fusible link, this sprinkler is designed to activate rapidly during the early stages of a fire, enhancing occupant safety and significantly reducing potential property damage. Its robust construction ensures long-term reliability and compliance with stringent life safety standards, making it a trusted choice for fire protection contractors and engineers.

• Sprinkler ID (SIN): VK341
• K-Factor: 2.8. This K-factor allows for efficient water distribution under high-pressure conditions, crucial for precise hydraulic calculations in facilities like warehouses and manufacturing plants.
• Response Type: Quick Response. This means the sprinkler is designed to activate rapidly in the early stages of a fire.
• Element Type: Fusible Link. These links are heat-sensitive alloys that melt at a predetermined temperature, triggering water discharge. Fusible link sprinklers are known for their durability and resistance to physical damage, making them suitable for harsh environments and industrial settings.
• Orientation: Upright. This design is ideal for installations where piping is exposed or where ceiling configurations and obstructions, like beams or ducts, require water to be discharged upwards before dispersing downwards in a circular pattern for optimal coverage.
• Thread Size: 1/2" NPT.
• Maximum Working Pressure: Up to 250 psi (17 bar).

The VK341 is optimized for facilities that require precise hydraulic calculations and effective water distribution under high-pressure conditions, such as warehouses, manufacturing plants, and storage areas. Its robust design, available in various corrosion-resistant finishes like Polyester and Electroless Nickel PTFE (ENT), ensures a long service life even in challenging environmental conditions. The dependable thermal sensitivity of the fusible link prevents nuisance activations while ensuring a fast response when a fire occurs. Whether for new construction or system retrofits, the VK341 simplifies installation with its standardized threading and robust design, aligning perfectly with NFPA requirements (NFPA 13 and 25) and other rigorous fire safety codes. This combination of speed, high-pressure tolerance, and durable engineering makes it an essential component for comprehensive fire suppression strategies, protecting both people and property.
