Viking VK3502 K8.0 Quick Response Upright Fire Sprinkler

The Viking VK3502 K8.0 Quick Response Upright Fire Sprinkler is engineered for rapid activation and reliable water distribution in commercial, industrial, and residential fire suppression assemblies. Installed in an upright orientation where piping is exposed or ceiling obstructions are present, this component delivers an umbrella-shaped downward spray pattern to control fire spread efficiently. It integrates seamlessly into wet pipe, dry pipe, pre-action, and deluge fire protection systems.

This sprinkler satisfies rigorous code compliance and safety mandates under NFPA 13, NFPA 25, and NFPA 13R/13D standards. Its sensitive thermal element detects rising temperatures faster than standard response models to ensure early activation, minimizing property damage and protecting occupants in light and ordinary hazard occupancies.

• Quick Response Thermal Element: Highly sensitive thermal link detects rising temperatures rapidly for early fire control and enhanced occupant safety.
• K-Factor 8.0 Performance: Optimized water flow rate satisfies diverse hydraulic demands and ensures comprehensive coverage across various hazard levels.
• Upright Orientation: Designed specifically for installations with exposed piping or ceiling obstructions, projecting an umbrella-shaped downward spray pattern.
• Durable Construction: Built with a corrosion-resistant brass frame and stainless steel deflector for long-term mechanical integrity in demanding environments.
• System Compatibility: Fully compatible with wet, dry, pre-action, and deluge fire protection systems, including in-rack storage protection configurations.
