| Viking enhances “small room” residential fire protection The Viking Corporation, a global leader in fixed fire protection products, further extends their Freedom® line of residential fire sprinklers with the introduction of a new 3.1 (4, 5) K factor residential pendent sprinkler (VK435). This cULus listed sprinkler leads the industry in flow characteristics and pressure loss performance in residential applications with smaller room sizes. Viking’s Freedom® 3.1 K factor sprinkler provides flows as low as 9 GPM (34, 1 LPM) at room sizes of 12 x 12 ft. (3, 7 x 3, 7 m) and 10 GPM (37, 9 LPM) in 14 x 14 ft. (4, 3 x 4, 3 m) rooms. In any smaller room residential application, this sprinkler can enable a less hydraulically demanding, more cost-effective system design. Furthermore, the VK435 sprinkler delivers flows of 20 GPM (75, 7 LPM) or less when a two-head design is required. The new sprinkler is offered in brass, chrome, black, and white standard finishes and is available with surface-mounted, adjustable, and recessed escutcheons with recessed adjustments up to 5/8” (16 mm). Now with the 3.1 (4, 5) K factor pendent, Viking’s Freedom line of residential sprinklers offers more options to handle any type of installation, application, or available water condition. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Construction News :: home page |
