1. DESCRIPTION
The Viking MicromaticHP® Standard Response Pendent High Pressure VK122 Sprinkler
is a small, thermosensitive, glass-bulb spray sprinkler available in several different fin-
ishes and temperature ratings to meet design requirements. The special Polyester, and
Electroless Nickel PTFE (ENT) coatings can be used in decorative applications where colors
are desired. In addition, these coatings have been investigated for installation in corrosive
atmospheres and are listed/approved as corrosion resistant as indicated in the Approval
Charts.
Viking standard response sprinklers may be ordered and/or used as open sprinklers (glass
bulb and pip cap assembly removed) on deluge systems. Refer to Ordering Instructions.

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.
7. AVAILABILITY
The Viking MicromaticHP® Standard Response Pendent High Pressure Sprinkler VK122 is available through a network of domestic
and international distributors. See The Viking Corporation web site for the closest distributor or contact The Viking Corporation.

The sprinkler temperature rating is stamped on the deflector.
2
Based on NFPA-13. Other limits may apply, depending on fire loading, sprinkler location, and other requirements of the Authority Having Jurisdiction.
Refer to specific installation standards.
3
Sprinklers of Ultra-High temperature rating are intended for use in ovens, dryers, or similar enclosures with normal operating temperatures above
300 °F (149 °C). Where the ambient temperature around the Ultra-High temperature rated sprinkler is significantly reduced below 300 °F (149 °C),
the response time of the Ultra-High temperature rated sprinkler may be severely retarded.
4
The corrosion-resistant coatings have passed the standard corrosion test required by the approving agencies indicated in the Approval Charts. These
tests 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 ENT coatings. For ENT coated automatic sprinklers, the waterway is coated.

Sprinkler Installation:
• DO NOT use the sprinkler deflector or operating element to start or thread the sprinkler
into a fitting.
• Use only the designated sprinkler head wrench! Refer to the current sprinkler tech-
nical data page to determine the correct wrench for the model of sprinkler used.
• DO NOT install sprinklers onto piping at the floor level. CORRECT INCORRECT

• DO NOT allow impacts such as hammer blows directly to sprinklers or to fittings, pipe,
or couplings in close proximity to sprinklers. Sprinklers can be damaged from direct or
indirect impacts.
• DO NOT attempt to remove drywall, paint, etc., from sprinklers.
• Take care not to over-tighten the sprinkler and/or damage its operating parts!

WARNING
Any sprinkler with a loss of liquid from the glass bulb or damage to the fusible element should be destroyed. Never install sprinklers
that have been dropped, damaged, or exposed to temperatures exceeding the maximum ambient temperature allowed. Sprinklers that
have been painted in the field must be replaced per NFPA 13. Protect sprinklers from paint and paint overspray in accordance with
the installation standards. Do not clean sprinklers with soap and water, ammonia, or any other cleaning fluid. Do not use adhesives
or solvents on sprinklers or their operating elements.
Refer to the appropriate technical data page and NFPA standards for complete care, handling, installation, and maintenance
instructions. For additional product and system information Viking data pages and installation instructions are available on
the Viking Web site at www.vikinggroupinc.com.
