1. DESCRIPTION
Viking Quick Response Dry Pendent Extra-Large Orifice (ELO) Sprinklers are
thermosensitive spray sprinklers suitable for use in areas subject to freezing.
These dry pendent ELO sprinklers are FM Approved for storage and non-storage
applications. In certain FM cold storage installations, the dry ELO sprinklers
can provide a design advantage with lower overall water demands. In these
applications, the dry ELO must be installed on a wet pipe system, per FM data
sheet 8-9. In non-storage applications, when used in dry or preaction systems,
the sprinklers are designed to prevent water or condensation from entering the
drop nipple before the sprinkler operates. Viking Quick Response Dry Pendent
ELO Sprinklers are available in various finishes and temperature ratings to meet
design requirements.
The optional dry sprinkler boot assembly is intended to slow the exchange of air
between the inside and outside of the freezer (or any dry sprinkler installation)
to help prevent humidity and temperature differential in the area around the
sprinkler. Condensation can lead to ice build-up, which could inhibit sprinkler
operation or cause premature operation.
If using the insulating boot assemblies included with your sprinklers (optional
for installation), follow the installation instructions in this technical data page.
Insulating boot assemblies, if used, shall be installed on smooth, flat, and clean
surfaces. There are specific installation situations, as with corrugated ceiling
panels, where alternative penetration sealing methods may be utilized. For
additional information contact Viking Technical Services.
