Viking Introduces Large K Factor Residential Sidewall Sprinkler



Hastings, Michigan, USA - Viking Corporation, a global leader in fixed fire protection technology, has extended its leading Freedom® line of residential fire protection products to include a 5.8 (84) K factor recessed horizontal sidewall sprinkler. Developed using Viking's patent-pending "flow shaper" design, the new VK460 offers the broadest listed coverage areas including 16 x 22 ft (4,9 x 6,7 m), 18 x 20 ft (5,5 x 6,1 m), and 20 x 20 ft (6,1 x 6,1 m).

The VK460's larger K factor makes it well suited for NFPA 13 residential applications, delivering the minimum required 0.1 gpm/ft2 water density at lower starting pressures. For NFPA 13D and 13R systems requiring 0.5 gpm/ft2 densities, the VK460 offers the lowest listed flows and pressures for all room sizes (when compared to other 5.8 (84) K factor residential sidewall sprinklers). Viking's innovative flow shaper design also provides for a smaller, less noticeable installed appearance.

In addition to the new VK460 sprinkler, Viking's complete Freedom residential fire protection package includes a full line of residential fire sprinklers, as well as quality BlazeMaster® CPVC pipe manufactured by Viking Plastics.
