1. description
Viking Mirage® Standard and Quick Response Concealed Pendent Sprinkler VK462 and
HP Sprinkler VK463 are thermosensitive glass-bulb spray sprinklers designed for instal-
lation 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 ½” (12.7 mm) of vertical adjustment. The two-piece
design allows installation and testing of the sprinkler prior to installation of the cover
plate. 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 fin-
ish 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.

Springs: Nickel Alloy
Solder: Eutectic
ordering information: (Also refer to the current Viking price list.)
Viking Mirage® Standard and Quick Response Concealed Pendent Sprinklers and Cover Plate Assemblies must be ordered separately:
sprinkler: ��ase Part No. 13503A or HP ��ase Part No. 13667A
Specify sprinkler temperature rating by adding the appropriate suffix for the temperature rating to the base part number:
Temperature Suffix (°F/°C): 155°/68° = ��, 175°/79° = D, 200°/93° = E
For example, sprinkler VK463 with a 155°F/68°C temperature rating = 13667A��.
cover plate assembly: ��ase Part No. 13504 (2-3/4” diameter), ��ase Part No. 13642 (3-5/16“ diameter), or ��ase Part No. 15394
(square cover plate, 3-5/16” diameter)
Specify finish and temperature rating of the cover plate assembly by adding the appropriate suffixes for the finish and the cover
temperature rating to the base part number:
Finish Suffix: Polished Chrome = F, ��rushed Chrome = F-/��, ��right ��rass = ��, Antique ��rass = ��-/A, ��rushed ��rass = ��-/��,
��rushed Copper = E-/��, Painted White = M-/W, Painted Ivory = M-/I, Painted ��lack = M-/��
Temperature Suffix (°F/°C): 135°/57° UL (139°/59° FM and LPC��) = A, 165°/74° = C
For example, cover 13504 with a Polished Chrome finish and a 165°F/74°C temperature rating = 13504FC.
Note: Square cover plate 15394 cULus Listing is for the 135°F (57°C) temperature rated cover plate only. Refer to the Approval Chart.
available Finishes and temperature ratings: Refer to Table 1.
accessories: (Also refer to the “Sprinkler Accessories” section of the Viking data book.)
sprinkler Wrenches**:
A. Heavy Duty Wrench Part No. 14047W/�� (available since 2006), or
��. Head Cabinet Wrench Part No. 14031*** (available since 2006)
C. Optional Concealed Cover Plate Installer Tool Part No. 14412 for cover 13504, or Part No. 14867 for the large diameter cover
(available since 2007)
**Requires a ½” ratchet (not available from Viking). ***Optional for removal of the protective cap. Ideal for sprinkler cabinets.
sprinkler cabinet: Part No. 01731A (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. See The Viking
Corporation web site for the closest distributor or contact The Viking Corporation.
