The Viking Corporation, a global renowned provider of fire protection and life safety systems, has announced the availability of new specific application window sprinklers, VK960 and VK962 models.
Designed to provide interior protection of windows or glazing, the sprinklers are used with fixed glazed assemblies to provide an alternative to a fire resistance rated wall assembly and feature a unique spray pattern that coats the surface of the glass with water, reducing the risk of cracking or shattering glass in the event of a fire.
VK960 and VK962 window sprinklers
Viking Corporation’s new window sprinklers are available in both pendent vertical sidewall (VK960) and horizontal sidewall (VK962) models. The VK960 window sprinkler is listed for up to 12 inches (3.7 meters) spacing between sprinklers, along with 7 inches (2.1 meters) maximum distance from vertical mullions, so as to provide significant installation advantages.
The VK960 model is also listed at 15 gpm at all spacing, up to 12 inches (3.7 meters). Additionally, both sprinklers have a maximum pressure rating of 175 psi in all approved applications.
cULus Listed sprinklers
The cULus Listed Viking window sprinklers are available in brass, chrome, white polyester, black polyester, or corrosion-resistant ENT plating. With a thread size of 1/2” NPT or 15 mm BSPT, the 5.6 (81) K-factor sprinkler can be ordered with temperature ratings of 155° F (68° C) or 200° F (93° C).
