Viking VXD Data Center Upgradeable Pre-Trimmed Fire Riser

Engineered specifically for the rigorous demands of modern data centers, the Viking VXD Upgradeable Pre-Trimmed Riser provides a reliable and space-efficient solution for critical fire protection infrastructure. This pre-assembled system is designed to optimize installation speed while offering the flexibility needed to scale with evolving facility requirements and safety standards. It functions as a dry pipe system, which can be easily converted to a preaction system. Dry pipe systems are particularly beneficial for data centers because the pipes are filled with pressurized air or nitrogen instead of water, mitigating the risk of water damage to sensitive equipment in case of accidental discharge.

• Pre-Trimmed Assembly: Each unit is factory-prepared to streamline installation workflows, significantly reducing on-site labor and minimizing the risk of assembly errors in complex mechanical environments. This saves valuable time during setup.
• Upgradeable Modular Design: Built with future-proofing in mind, the modular architecture supports seamless system upgrades and expansions. This allows for easy modifications without requiring a complete replacement of the existing riser setup, including conversion from a dry pipe to a preaction system with minimal effort.
• Integrated Isolation Control: Available with high-performance isolation butterfly valves, the system enables precise flow control and rapid shutoff capabilities. This allows for routine maintenance or emergency repairs in specific zones without shutting down the entire fire suppression network.
• Advanced VXD Material Technology: Crafted from high-quality, corrosion-resistant materials, the riser is engineered to withstand the unique environmental conditions of server rooms while maintaining superior fire resistance and long-term durability. This ensures functionality even in high-heat conditions typical of data centers.
• Space-Conscious Form Factor: The compact design is optimized for tight mechanical rooms and dense infrastructure layouts, ensuring maximum accessibility and functionality where space is at a premium.
• Dry Pipe System with A-1 Differential Valve: The assembly utilizes a Viking Model VXD Deluge valve and trim as a dry pipe system, including an A-1 Differential Valve (with an approximate 6:1 differential design) to control the water supply. The system piping is pressurized with compressed air or nitrogen.

This upgradeable riser assembly simplifies the management of fire sprinkler systems in sensitive environments. By combining a ready-to-use design with the ability to integrate future fire safety technologies, it offers a turnkey solution for contractors and facility managers. Whether utilized in new builds or retrofit projects, this riser enhances operational uptime and provides the scalable safety management essential for high-demand data center operations. It is engineered to meet stringent fire safety codes for mission-critical facilities, such as NFPA 75, ensuring the protection of high-value equipment and operational continuity.
