Viking C-1 Window Fire Sprinkler 3/4" NPT VK79 - Deluge System

The Viking Model C-1 Window Fire Sprinkler (VK79 series) is an open-type sprinkler designed for use in deluge fire protection systems, offering critical fire suppression for windows, walls, and roofs in both residential and commercial buildings. This specialized sprinkler creates a protective water curtain to prevent flames and radiant heat from spreading through glass or other openings, enhancing building safety without compromising architectural design.

• Deluge System Integration: Engineered as non-automatic, open sprinklers, these units are specifically for deluge fire protection systems. When a detection system is triggered, all connected sprinklers activate simultaneously, delivering a rapid, widespread water discharge that significantly curtails fire escalation.
• Optimized Water Distribution: The Model C-1 features a directional discharge that produces a flat, 180° fan-shaped spray pattern. This design creates an effective water curtain that evenly covers window surfaces, absorbing heat and blocking flames. When multiple sprinklers are installed, their sprays overlap to form a continuous barrier of water.
• Durable Construction: Built from robust, high-grade brass, this sprinkler ensures reliable, long-term performance. Its corrosion-resistant material maintains consistent operation even in challenging environments.
• Versatile Flow Capacity: Available in multiple orifice sizes and NPT connections, these sprinklers deliver precise discharge factors. They provide the necessary water flow for various opening sizes or high-exposure areas and perform dependably across a wide pressure range, from 7 psi up to 175 psi. This particular model (VK79) features a 3/4" NPT connection.
• Certified Compliance: These window sprinklers are UL Listed, FM Approved, and NFPA Compliant, ensuring they meet the highest safety benchmarks for fire protection systems.

The Viking Model C-1 series is a vital component for comprehensive fire safety, particularly in buildings with extensive glass areas that must meet stringent fire safety codes. By creating a powerful water barrier, these sprinklers minimize fire spread and support quicker recovery with reduced water damage. They offer a cost-effective and aesthetically pleasing alternative to expensive fire-rated glass, providing architects greater design flexibility while safeguarding property and occupants. This immediate response capability is crucial for protecting lives, valuables, and structural integrity by containing fires at critical entry points.
