The VK550 K5.6 SR Up SHD Rack Sprinkler is engineered specifically for in-rack storage fire protection, providing precise suppression within wet pipe systems for warehouses and industrial facilities. Featuring an integrated shield plate, this component protects the thermal element from mechanical damage and water discharge from upper tiers in tight rack spaces without compromising pattern distribution.
This sprinkler satisfies strict life safety parameters under NFPA 13, ensuring code-compliant fire control for high-density storage configurations. By deploying an optimized K-factor discharge coefficient, it delivers the exact volume and operating pressure needed to suppress intermediate-level fire hazards while preserving inventory space.
