discharge devices. Viking Pendent and Upright Foam-Water Sprinklers are FM
Approved and UL Listed in both closed sprinkler (with bulb or fusible element) and
open sprinkler (bulb removed) configurations.
Features:
• Tested and Approved as foam-water sprinklers with specific foam concentrates
(see Performance Data).
• K-factors available: K5.6 (K80.6), K8.0 (K115.2), and K11.2 (K161.3)
2. LISTINGS AND APPROVALS
Viking Foam Water Sprinklers are FM Approved and/or UL Listed as part of a fire
extinguishing system combining designated foam concentrates, bladder tanks and
proportioning devices. Approved and Listed system components can be found at
www.approvalguide.com and https://iq.ulprospector.com.

FM Approved – Low Expansion Foam Systems (FM5130)


UL Listed – GFGV.EX27255 (UL162)

“SFFF compatible” refers to this product as being part of a SFFF

Foam system that has been tested to recognized standards. Not all

9. 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 or Foam/Water Solution flowing through the sprinkler orifice strikes the sprinkler deflector, forming
a uniform spray pattern to extinguish or control the fire.

10. GUARANTEE
For details of warranty, refer to Viking’s current list price schedule or contact Viking directly.

11. INSPECTION, TESTS AND MAINTENANCE

Refer to respective requirements, according to the relevant standards for Inspection, Testing and Maintenance. Refer to NFPA 25
for Inspection, Testing and Maintenance requirements.
If applicable, refer to FM Global Property Loss Prevention Datasheet 4-12 for specific test and commissioning criteria. In addition, the
“Authority Having Jurisdiction” (AHJ) may have additional maintenance, testing and inspection requirements that must be followed.

WARNING
Any system maintenance or testing that involves placing a control valve or detection system out of service may eliminate the
fire protection capabilities of that system. Prior to proceeding, notify all Authorities Having Jurisdiction. Consideration should
be given to employment of a fire patrol in the affected areas.

12. DISPOSAL

At end of use the product described here should be disposed of via the national recycling system.

13. ACCESSORIES AND SPARE PARTS

Please refer to relevant sprinkler data page.
