Introducing the First Ever 'Flat Plate Concealed' Residential Sidewall Sprinkler
Hastings, MI, USA - Viking Corporation, a global leader in fire protection and life safety systems, has announced the availability of a new 4.0 (58) K-factor residential, flat plate concealed, horizontal sidewall sprinkler. The innovative "Freedom®" VK480 sprinkler represents a significant advancement in residential fire sprinkler technology. For the first time, the installation advantages of a horizontal sidewall sprinkler are available fully concealed behind a flat cover plate in a residential application.
One method of protecting a residential sprinkler system from freezing conditions is to install the piping network in the interior wall spaces. The VK480 provides this installation option with a true, flat plate, concealed appearance. Using the VK480's special installation pipe guide, the new sprinkler easily installs into a standard 2 x 4" stud wall. The pipe guide, which is shipped standard with the sprinkler at no additional charge, ensures the proper location of the sprinkler to allow for ¼" (6 mm) adjustment of the cover plate. Additionally, to make certain the sprinkler is correctly oriented with the ceiling, both the sprinkler body and the installation wrench are marked "TOP." A detailed animation of the VK480 installation process is available on the Viking web site at www.vikinggroupinc.com/newproducts.
This new patent-pending sprinkler is cULus listed for up to 16 x 18 ft (4.9 x 5.5 m) coverage areas. The VK480 has a temperature rating of 165°F (74°C) with a 135°F (57°C) cover plate. The cover plate's standard finish is white. Through Viking's industry-leading custom paint program, Viking can apply virtually any brand and type of paint to the cover plate as well.
