1. DESCRIPTION

Viking Microfast® and MicrofastHP® Quick Response Upright and Conventional (Old Style) Sprinklers are small, thermosensitive, glass-bulb spray sprinklers available in several different finishes, temperature ratings, and K-Factors to meet design requirements. The special Polyester and Teflon® coatings can be used in decorative applications where colors are desired. In addi-tion, these coatings have been investigated for installation in corrosive atmos-pheres and are cULus listed as corrosion resistant as indicated in Approval Chart 1. (Note: FM Global has no approval classification for Teflon® and Polyester coatings as corrosion resistant.)

Pip Cap and Insert Assembly: Copper UNS-C11000 and Stainless Steel UNS-S30400 For Teflon® Coated Sprinklers: Belleville Spring-Exposed, Screw-Nickel Plated, Pip Cap-Teflon® Coated For Polyester Coated Sprinklers: Belleville Spring-Exposed Ordering Information: (Also refer to the current Viking price list.)

Order Microfast® and MicrofastHP® Quick Response Upright and Conventional Sprinklers by first adding the appropriate suffix for the sprinkler finish and then the appropriate suffix for the temperature rating to the sprinkler base part number.

Finish Suffix: Brass = A, Chrome-Enloy® = F, White Polyester = M-/W, Black Polyester = M-/B, and Black Teflon® = N Temperature Suffix (°F/°C): 135°/57° = A, 155°/68° = B, 175°/79° = D, 200°/93° = E, and 286°/141° = G For example, sprinkler VK300 with a 1/2” thread, Brass finish and a 155 °F/68 °C temperature rating = Part No. 06661BAB Available Finishes And Temperature Ratings: Refer to Table 1.

Accessories: (Also refer to the “Sprinkler Accessories” section of the Viking data book.)

Sprinkler Wrench: Standard Wrench: Part No. 10896W/B (available since 2000) Sprinkler Cabinets:

A. Six-head capacity: Part No. 01724A (available since 1971) B. Twelve-head capacity: Part No. 01725A (available since 1971)

4. INSTALLATION

Refer to appropriate NFPA Installation Standards.

5. OPERATION

During fire conditions, the heat-sensitive liquid in the glass bulb expands, causing the glass to shatter, releasing the pip cap and sealing spring assembly. Water flowing through the sprinkler orifice strikes the sprinkler deflector, forming a uniform spray pattern to extinguish or control the fire.

6. INSPECTIONS, TESTS AND MAINTENANCE

Refer to NFPA 25 for Inspection, Testing and Maintenance requirements.

7. AVAILABILITY

The Viking Microfast® and MicrofastHP® Quick Response Upright and Conventional Sprinklers are available through a network of domestic and international distributors. See The Viking Corporation web site for the closest distributor or contact The Viking Corporation.

8. GUARANTEE

For details of warranty, refer to Viking’s current list price schedule or contact Viking directly.

Refer to specific installation standards.

3 The corrosion-resistant coatings have passed the standard corrosion test required by the approving agencies indicated on pages 51c-e. These tests cannot and do not represent all possible corrosive environments. Prior to installation, verify through the end-user that the coatings are compatible with or suitable for the proposed environment. For automatic sprinklers, the coatings indicated are applied to the exposed exterior surfaces only. Note that the spring is exposed on sprinklers with Polyester and Teflon® coatings.
