Viking VK282 Quick Response Large Orifice Dry Pendent Fusible Fire Sprinkler

The Viking VK282 Quick Response Large Orifice Dry Pendent Fusible Fire Sprinkler is engineered to protect unheated facilities and unconditioned spaces from freezing hazards. It installs directly into dry pipe, wet pipe, pre-action, and deluge fire suppression assemblies, extending into environments where water would otherwise freeze. The dry pendent design keeps the water column safely outside the freeze zone until thermal activation occurs, preventing pipe ruptures and system failures.

This component satisfies rigorous life safety criteria and meets NFPA 13 standards for commercial and industrial installations. The quick-response fusible link triggers rapid fire suppression at the first sign of heat, while the large orifice configuration delivers an elevated water flow rate to ensure maximum suppression effectiveness in critical applications.

• Dry Pendent Configuration: Keeps standing water out of freezing areas to prevent pipe blockage and system damage.
• Quick Response Fusible Link: Reacts promptly to thermal changes for accelerated fire control.
• Large Orifice Design: Discharges a higher volume of water compared to standard orifices for enhanced suppression.
• Durable Construction: Built from high-grade brass featuring corrosion-resistant components for extended operational life.

Always verify local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) requirements and consult manufacturer technical data sheets prior to installation.
