1. DESCRIPTION
The Model V-SD (Single Directional) Specific Application Attic Sprinkler is designed to
provide superior fire protection in combustible and non-combustible sloped attic spaces
when compared to standard spray attic protection. With specific application criteria for use
with Model V-BB (Back to Back) and VK696 Attic Upright Specific Application Sprinklers,
Viking attic sprinklers provide an extended coverage spacing alternative to standard spray
sprinklers. They make it possible to use a single line of piping at the attic peak, eliminating the
need for branch lines and greatly reducing the number of required sprinklers and associated
material and installation costs. Model V-SD models also have lower minimum flow and
pressure requirements than competitive products.
Viking Attic Sprinklers can be installed with either steel or CPVC piping (CPVC allowed on wet
pipe systems only), and are available in brass or with corrosion-resistant Electroless Nickel
PTFE (ENT) coatings where salt water and other corrosive elements are a consideration.
They are cULus Listed with specific application guidelines for use as special sprinklers
as defined by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and are cULus Listed for
extended coverage in combustible and non-combustible construction. The cULus Listing was
achieved using full-scale fire tests within wood truss construction.
The Model V-SD (Single Directional) sprinkler provides a reduced response time due to its
narrow ridge spacing of 6 ft. (1,8 m) and long throw pattern (up to 40 ft. in a single direction
measured horizontally) and is offered in three different slope ranges and one orifice size
(K=5.6). Listed for specific pitches 4:12<7:12, 7:12<10:12 and 10:12≤12:12, and spans
40 ft. and 30 ft.
