1. DESCRIPTION
Viking EC/QREC Upright Sprinkler VK532 is a thermosensitive spray sprinkler available in
several different finishes and temperature ratings to meet varying design requirements. The
extra-large orifice produces the flows required to meet Light and Ordinary Hazard density re-
quirements at lower pressures than standard orifice or large orifice sprinklers. The glass bulb
operating element and special deflector characteristics meet the challenges of quick response
extended coverage standards. Upright Sprinkler VK532 is cULus Listed as standard and quick
response and FM Approved as quick response. The special Polyester and Electroless Nickel
PTFE (ENT) coatings can be used in decorative applications where colors are desired. In
addition, ENT coating has been investigated for installation in corrosive atmospheres. See
Approval Charts.

Ordering Information: (Also refer to the current Viking price list.)
Order Viking EC/QREC Upright Sprinkler VK532 by first adding the appropriate suffix for the sprinkler finish and then the appro-
priate suffix for the temperature rating to the sprinkler base part number.
Finish Suffix: Brass = A, Chrome = F, White Polyester = M-/W, Black Polyester = M-/B, and ENT = JN
Temperature Suffix: 135 °F (57 °C) = A, 155 °F (68 °C) = B, 175 °F (79 °C) = D, 200 °F (93 °C) = E, and 286 °F (141 °C) = G
For example, sprinkler VK532 with a Brass finish and a 155 °F (68 °C) temperature rating = Part No. 08687AB
