Overview
The Viking VK970 K5.6 Quick Response Recessed Pendent Fire Sprinkler with Flexible Hose Assembly delivers rapid early-stage fire suppression while maintaining a low-profile, clean ceiling aesthetic. Designed for commercial, industrial, and residential fire protection systems, this integrated assembly installs into wet pipe, dry pipe, pre-action, and deluge network assemblies. The flexible hose component simplifies routing in tight or complex ceiling spaces, reducing piping stress and allowing precise placement during retrofits or new construction.
This component is engineered to satisfy strict life safety mandates under NFPA 13 for the installation of sprinkler systems and NFPA 25 for the inspection, testing, and maintenance of water-based fire protection systems. Compliance with these standards ensures that the quick-response thermal element and discharge characteristics meet rigorous building code requirements for fast fire control and structural protection.
