1. DESCRIPTION

Viking Specific Application Early Suppression Fast Response (ESFR) Pendent
Sprinkler VK514 incorporates the capability to suppress specific high-challenge fires.
The addition of a larger K-Factor allows protection of higher hazard commodities at
greater ceiling heights with lower end-head pressures. K28.0 ESFR sprinklers can:
• Eliminate the use of in-rack sprinklers when protecting high-piled storage of certain
specified materials up to 43 ft. (13.1 m) with ceilings up to 48 ft. (14.6 m)*
• Reduce or eliminate the need for a system fire pump.
• Provide flexibility when sizing system piping.
Viking VK514 ESFR Pendent Sprinklers are primarily intended to protect the following
types of storage, which tend to produce severe-challenge fires: palletized and solid
pile storage and single, double, and portable open rack storage (no open-top contain-
ers or solid shelves). The VK514 is listed to utilize a minimum aisle width of 6'-0".
Viking ESFR Pendent VK514 Sprinklers provide protection of most common storage
materials, including:
• Encapsulated or unencapsulated Class I, II, III, and IV commodities*.
• UL Listed for protection of cartoned non-expanded plastic commodities*.
* Refer the Approval Charts and Design Criteria for UL Listing requirements that must be followed.
