1. DESCRIPTION
Viking Mirage® Standard and Quick Response Concealed Pendent Sprinkler VK462
and HP Sprinkler VK463 are thermosensitive glass-bulb spray sprinklers designed for
installation on concealed pipe systems where the appearance of a smooth ceiling is
desired. ' 7
The sprinkler is pre-assembled with a threaded adapter for installation with a low-
profile cover assembly that provides up to '/z (12.7 mm) of vertical adjustment. The
two-piece design allows installation and testing of the sprinkler prior to installation of £
the cover plate. The 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. The Electroless Nickel PTFE (ENT)
coating has been investigated for installation in corrosive environments and is listed and
approved as indicated in the Approval Charts. The ENT finish is only available for the
sprinkler assembly,the cover plate is not plated.

4. INSTALLATION
Refer to appropriate NFPA Installation Standards.
5. OPERATION
During fire conditions,when the temperature around the sprinkler approaches its operating temperature, the cover plate detaches.
Continued heating of the exposed sprinkler causes the heat-sensitive liquid in the glass bulb to expand and the bulb to shatter,
releasing the yoke, pip-cap and sealing spring assembly. Water flowing through the sprinkler orifice strikes the sprinkler deflector,
forming a uniform spray pattern to extinguish or control the fire.
6. INSPECTIONS, TESTS AND MAINTENANCE
Refer to NFPA 25 for Inspection,Testing and Maintenance requirements.
7. AVAILABILITY
Viking Sprinklers VK462 and VK463 are available through a network of domestic and international distributors. See The Viking
Corporation web site for the closest distributor or contact The Viking Corporation.
8. GUARANTEE
For details of warranty, refer to Viking's current list price schedule or contact Viking directly.

NOTE: Concealed sprinklers must be installed in neutral or negative pressure plenums only.
VdS Approval Reauirements:
a)The sprinkler can be installed in a concrete ceiling(massive ceiling)or in a false ceiling made of light materials.
b)This sprinkler is deflector fixed type and can be only activated by heat.The housing is not tight.
c)Follow installation guidelines of current standards, CEA4001VdS and EN12845.These sprinklers can only be installed in LH and OH occupan-
cies,except in OH4.
NOTES: Due to the design the sprinkler type Domed-CCP'shall not be installed in false ceilings in which the false ceiling space is protected by a
water extinguishing system.
Due to the design the sprinkler type'Domed-CCP'shall not be installed in false ceilings in which during a fire the pressure above the false ceiling
may be assumed to be higher than the pressure below the false ceiling.
The criterion for the dropping of the cover relevant for this approval is heat.
Steps of installation:
1. Prepare the sprinkler key.
2. Remove the plastic cover.
3. Hold the sprinkler with the wrench and fasten it.
4. Replace the plastic cover and do not remove until the cover is installed.
IMPORTANT: Always refer to Bulletin Form No. F 091699-Care and Handling of Sprinklers.Also refer to Form No. F080614

4. INSTALLATION
Refer to appropriate NFPA Installation Standards.
5. OPERATION
During fire conditions, the heat-sensitive liquid in the glass bulb expands, causing the glass to shatter, releasing the pip cap and
sealing spring assembly. Water flowing through the sprinkler orifice strikes the sprinkler deflector, forming a uniform spray pattern
to extinguish or control the fire.
6. INSPECTIONS, TESTS AND MAINTENANCE
Refer to NFPA 25 for Inspection,Testing and Maintenance requirements.
7. AVAILABILITY
The Viking Microfaste Quick Response Pendent Sprinkler VK302 is available through a network of domestic and international dis-
tributors. See The Viking Corporation web site for the closest distributor or contact The Viking Corporation.
