1. DESCRIPTION
Viking Mirage
Quick Response Extended Coverage Light Hazard ELO Concealed
®
Pendent Sprinkler VK636 is a thermosensitive solder link spray sprinkler designed
for installation on concealed pipe systems where the appearance of a smooth
ceiling is desired. The 11.2K sprinkler meets Light Hazard density requirements at
lower pressures than 5.6K or 8.0K sprinklers. The fusible operating element and
special deflector characteristics meet the challenges of quick response extended
coverage standards.
The sprinkler is pre-assembled with a threaded adapter for installation with a low-
profile cover assembly that provides up to ½" (13 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" and "thread-on" designs of the concealed cover
plate assemblies allow 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.
