1. DESCRIPTION
The Micromatic® Viking Standard Response Horizontal Sidewall Sprinkler VK104 �r�� ill,
is a small thermosensitive glass bulb spray sprinkler available with various finishes Il�ill �:
and temperature ratings to meet design requirements. The special Polyester and D
PTFE coatings can be used in decorative applications where colors are desired. " + .it j
In addition, these coatings have been investigated for installation in corrosive at-
mospheres and are cULus listed as corrosion resistant as indicated in the Approval
Chart. (Note: FM Global has no approval classification for PTFE and Polyester Horizontal Sidewall
coatings as corrosion resistant.) For Light Hazard Occupancies Only

B. Twelve-head capacity: Part No. 01725A(available since 1971)
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 Micromatic'Viking Standard Response Horizontal Sidewall Sprinkler VK104 is available through a network of domestic and

Refer to specific installation standards.
'The corrosion-resistant coatings have passed the standard corrosion test required by the approving agencies indicated in the Approval Chart.These
tests cannot and do not represent all possible corrosive environments. Prior to installation,verify through the end-user that the coatings are compat-
ible with or suitable for the proposed environment.For automatic sprinklers,the coatings indicated are applied to the exposed exterior surfaces only.
Note that the spring is exposed on sprinklers with Polyester and PTFE coatings. For PTFE coated open sprinklers only,the waterway is coated.
