Original Press Release:
Viking Adds ELO Option to Mirage® Line of Concealed Sprinklers
Hastings, Michigan, USA - Viking Corporation, a worldwide leader in fire protection and life safety systems, has extended its leading Mirage® line of commercial concealed sprinklers to include an 11.2 (161) K-Factor, Extra-Large Orifice (ELO) sprinkler. This new quick response sprinkler, model VK469, is specifically designed for applications requiring both a higher water density and the appearance of a flat-plate concealed sprinkler. This includes applications such as casinos, exhibition halls, hotel lobbies, airport terminals, places of worship, and certain retail environments.
The new Mirage® ELO sprinkler is cULus listed for up to and including Ordinary Hazard Group II occupancies. It has a 165°F (74°C) temperature rating and features a flat cover plate with ½" (13 mm) of vertical adjustment. The sprinkler's cover plate is available in four standard finishes and a nearly unlimited variety of custom finishes.
The new sprinkler's extra-large orifice allows for higher water densities to be applied even when limited water pressure is available. The VK469 may also eliminate the need for a fire pump, or reduce the size of the pump if required. On existing systems, replacing large orifice sprinklers with the new Mirage® ELO may provide the higher densities needed to increase the occupancy's hazard classification.
