1. DESCRIPTION
Viking Stainless Steel Dry Pendent Sprinklers are thermosensitive spray sprin-
klers suitable for use in areas subject to freezing. The sprinklers are designed
for dry systems and preaction systems where it is necessary to prevent water or
condensation from entering the drop nipple before sprinkler operation. They may
also be installed in spaces subject to freezing and supplied from a wet system in
an adjacent heated area.
Viking Standard Response Dry Pendent Sprinklers are available in various finishes
and temperature ratings, to meet design requirements. These sprinklers are not
listed as corrosion-resistant sprinklers, and are not intended for use in cor-
rosive environments.

Ordering Information: (Also refer to the current Viking price list.)
Order Stainless Steel Dry Pendent Sprinklers by first adding the appropriate suffix for the temperature rating, and then the suffix
for the length ("A" dimension) to sprinkler base part number. Order in a specific length noted as the "A" dimension (see Figures
3 through 5). The "A" dimension is the distance from the face of the fitting (tee) to the desired finished surface of the ceiling.
These sprinklers may be ordered in standard lengths from 3" to 47" (76.2 mm to 1,194 mm) for the plain barrel style, and 3-1/4" to
47-1/2" (82.5 mm to 1,207 mm) for the adjustable recessed style.
Lengths exceeding the standard lengths are available on a "made-to-order" basis: Recessed Dry Pendent up to 65-1/2" (1,664 mm).
Plain Barrel Dry Pendent up to 65" (1,651 mm). Contact the manufacturer for more information.
Temperature Suffix: 155 °F (68 °C) = B, 175 °F (79 °C) = D, 200 °F (93 °C) = E, 286 °F (141 °C) = G
For example, sprinkler VK169 with 1" NPT Threads, a 155 °F (68 °C) temperature rating, and "A" length of 10" = Part No.
