1. DESCRIPTION
Viking Model A-1, B-1, and C-1 Sprinkler Water Shields and Guards are used in conjunction
with Viking frame style '/7" or 3/4" NPT (15 mm or 20 mm BSP) upright or pendent sprinklers
where allowed by the approvals. (Refer to the Approval Chart on page 130g.) The guards are
hard-wire cages designed to encase the sprinklers and protect them from mechanical damage.
They are recommended for areas where sprinklers are installed at a low elevation and/or near
a high degree of human or mechanical activity.
Water shields protect the sprinklers'heat-sensing operating element from water spray discharge t IMP '
from sprinklers located at a higher elevation.Viking frame style sprinklers with Model B-1 or C-1
Water Shields are converted to intermediate level/rack storage sprinklers. They may be used Model A-1 Sprinkler Guard
in any application where water shielding is required, such as in-rack sprinkler systems, under
grating, on pilot sprinklers for deluge systems, and outdoors as a weather shield. - - --_,_

4. INSTALLATION
NOTE: Viking Model A-1, B-1, and C-1 Sprinkler Water Shields and Guards are not available factory pre-assembled with the sprin-
klers. They must be ordered separately and then field installed onto the Viking frame style sprinklers.
Refer to the appropriate Viking sprinkler Technical Data Page for warnings and additional installation instructions.Then install units
according to the following steps:
A. MODEL A-1 SPRINKLER GUARD
Viking frame style sprinklers must be installed on the system prior to adding the Model A-1 Sprinkler Guards onto the sprinklers.
After the sprinklers are installed:
1. Remove the retaining ring from the Model A-1 Sprinkler Guard.
2. Spread and hold the two bracket halves at the base of the guard just enough to place the guard over the deflector and wrench
boss of the sprinkler.
CAUTION: Excessive spreading of the guard may break the weld.
3. With the sprinkler inside the sprinkler guard, orient the guard with the heavy wire base parallel to the sprinkler wrench boss. The
two halves of the bracket should grip the sprinkler in the slot between the wrench boss and the threads.
4. Press the retaining ring over the guard and toward the base of the sprinkler until the ring snaps firmly into the depressions pro-
vided on each of the six wire members of the guard.
a.To remove, reverse the instructions. If the sprinkler must also be removed, follow the system instructions and notify appropri-
ate personnel.

The Model C-1 Pendent Water Shields can be installed with or without the Model C-1 Guard. However,the Model C-1 Guard cannot
be installed without the Model C-1 Water Shield. To install Model C-1 Pendent Water Shields:
1. Thread the Viking frame style pendent sprinkler into the shield. The concave surface of the shield should face the sprinkler
deflector.
2. Apply a small amount of pipe-joint compound or tape to the external threads of the sprinkler only, taking care not to allow a
build-up of compound in the sprinkler inlet.
3. Install the sprinkler unit on the piping using the standard sprinkler wrench. DO NOT use the shield to start or thread the sprinkler
into the fitting.
Viking frame style pendent sprinklers and Model C-1 Water Shields must be installed on the system prior to installing the Model
C-1 Guard onto the sprinkler. If the Model C-1 Guard is used:

Derek,
This is in regards to the above referenced project. Specifically,confirmation that the design criteria for
the addition of sprinklers below catwalks in the west center warehouse complies with code.
• The facility is an existing Les Schwab Tire Center with an existing dry pipe sprinkler system.The original
installation in 2000 referenced the 1998 edition of 231D as the standard for warehouse protection. The
ceiling sprinklers in the west center warehouse were designed per 231D with provision for future
racking and catwalks.Subsequently,the sprinkler design criteria for the protection of tire storage with
standard spray sprinklers has been minimally revised.Accordingly, as the west center warehouse is
similar to the adjacent, previously completed,warehouses, matching the new under catwalk sprinkler
layout and pipe sizing to the existing is legitimate and acceptable. Corroboration is as follows:
IBC(2012),sub-section 413.1 General,states;High-piled stock or rack storage in any occupancy group
shall comply with the International Fire Code.
IFC (2012),sub-section 3401.1 Scope,states: Tire rebuilding plants, tire storage and tire byproduct
facilities shall comply with this chapter, other applicable requirements of this code and NFPA 13. Tire
storage in buildings shall also comply with Chapter 32.
IFC(2012),sub-section 3208.2 Fire Protection, states, in part; Where automatic sprinklers are required,
an approved automatic sprinkler system shall be installed throughout the building or to 1-hour fire
barriers. The design and installation of the automatic sprinkler system shall be in accordance with
Section 903.3.1.1 and the IBC.
IFC(2012),sub-section 903.3.1.1 NFPA 13 sprinkler systems,states; Where the provisions of this code
require that a building or portion thereof be equipped throughout with an automatic sprinkler system in
accordance with this section,sprinklers shall be installed throughout in accordance with NFPA 13 except
• as provided in Section 903.3.1.1.1.
NFPA 231D(1998)Storage of Rubber Tires,sub-section 4-1.2,states, in part;Sprinkler discharge and
area of application shall be in accordance with Table 4-1.2(a)for%in., 17/32 in., 5/8 in., and.70 in.
sprinklers. Table 4-1.2(a), Piling Method (5), Piling Height over 12 to 20 ft, includes the following criteria
selection: 0.40 gpm/ft2 plus one level in-rack sprinklers over a 3000 ft2 area of application.
NFPA 13 (2013)Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems,sub-section 18.4 Ceiling Systems,
states, in part;Sprinkler discharge and area of application shall be in accordance with one of the
following:(1) Table 18.4(a)or Table 18.4(b)for standard spray sprinklers. Table 18.4(a), Piling Method
(8), Pile Height over 12 to 20 ft, includes the following criteria selection:0.40 gpm/ft2 plus one level in-
rack sprinklers over a 3000 ft2 area of application.
The original design criteria was 0.40 gpm/ft2 plus one level in-rack sprinklers over a 3000 ft2 area of
application.The area of application was reduced to a single 2500 ft2 warehouse by use of appropriately
rated full height walls.As stated,the sprinkler design criteria for standard spray sprinklers remains
unchanged subsequent to the original construction.So,again, matching the new under catwalk
sprinklers to the previously accepted spacing and pipe sizing arrangement is legitimate and acceptable.
