DESCRIPTION Viking Mirage°Standard and Quick Response Concealed Pendent Sprinkler VK462 and HP Sprinkler VK463 are thermosensitive glass-bulb spray sprinklers designed for installa- tion on concealed pipe systems where the appearance of a smooth ceiling is desired. The sprinkler is pre-assembled with a threaded adapter for installation with a low-profile cover assembly that provides up to '/2' (12.7 mm) of vertical adjustment. The two-piece - design allows installation and testing of the sprinkler prior to installation of the cover plate. 50,11 The "push-on", "thread-off' design of the concealed cover plate assembly allows easy installation of the cover plate after the system has been tested and the ceiling finish has - been applied. The cover assembly can be removed and reinstalled, allowing temporary removal of ceiling panels without taking the sprinkler system out of service or removing the sprinkler. 2.

Ideal for sprinkler cabinets. Sprinkler Cabinet: Part No. 01731A, Capacity: five (5)sprinklers (available since 1971) 4. INSTALLATION Refer to appropriate NFPA Installation Standards. 5. OPERATION During fire conditions, when the temperature around the sprinkler approaches its operating temperature, the cover plate detaches. Continued heating of the exposed sprinkler causes the heat-sensitive liquid in the glass bulb to expand and the bulb to shatter, releasing the yoke, pip-cap and sealing spring assembly. Water flowing through the sprinkler orifice strikes the sprinkler deflector, forming a uniform spray pattern to extinguish or control the fire. 6. INSPECTIONS, TESTS AND MAINTENANCE Refer to NFPA 25 for Inspection, Testing and Maintenance requirements. 7. AVAILABILITY Viking Sprinklers VK462 and VK463 are available through a network of domestic and international distributors.
