The Viking VK162 Standard Response Dry Recessed Horizontal Sidewall Fire Sprinkler is engineered for dry pipe and preaction fire suppression systems installed in unheated spaces such as warehouses, garages, and corridors. The dry pipe design prevents water accumulation in exposed piping upstream of the valve, eliminating freeze hazards and pipe damage in cold environments. Its recessed horizontal sidewall configuration provides a low-profile installation that integrates cleanly into walls while maintaining designed discharge patterns.
This sprinkler satisfies strict life safety compliance guidelines, carrying UL Listings and FM Approvals while meeting the installation mandates outlined in NFPA 13, NFPA 13R, and NFPA 13D standards for commercial and residential fire protection systems. Standard response characteristics ensure reliable thermal activation during a fire event.
