VK100 K5.6 Standard Response Upright Fire Sprinkler

The Viking VK100 K5.6 Standard Response Upright Fire Sprinkler is engineered for commercial and industrial fire protection assemblies, including wet pipe and deluge systems. Designed specifically for installation in an upright orientation, this component mounts directly onto the top of distribution piping to provide a 360-degree spray pattern. This configuration ensures reliable water distribution and suppression coverage in environments featuring open ceilings or structural obstructions where standard pendent models may be limited.

This sprinkler satisfies compliance requirements under NFPA 13 for commercial installation standards. It meets rigorous third-party evaluation criteria, carrying both UL Listing and FM Approved credentials to ensure full code compliance for life safety systems.

• Upright Configuration: Features a 1/2-inch connection designed to project water upward and outward, delivering a full 360-degree spray pattern ideal for open-ceiling commercial spaces.
• K-Factor Orifice: Engineered with a K5.6 discharge coefficient for efficient water delivery across wet pipe and deluge fire suppression networks.
• Thermosensitive Glass Bulb: Incorporates a heat-sensitive fluid-filled glass bulb that activates promptly upon reaching specified operating temperatures to initiate early fire suppression.
• Corrosion-Resistant Options: Manufactured with durable metallic components and available with specialized Polyester and Electroless Nickel PTFE (ENT) coatings to withstand harsh industrial environments.
• Robust Build: Designed to maintain structural integrity and reliable operational performance under demanding commercial conditions.

Contractors and facility managers must verify all local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) requirements and consult the manufacturer's technical data sheets before beginning installation or system layout.
