The Viking VK470 Residential Pendent Fire Sprinkler with Torque-Assist is a ceiling-mounted fire suppression component designed for wet pipe fire protection assemblies in one- and two-family dwellings. Installed pendent-style to hang below the ceiling line, it discharges water in a wide, round spray pattern to cover the floor area below. The unit operates via a thermosensitive glass bulb that expands and shatters at a rated temperature, triggering rapid water discharge for early flame control.

This sprinkler is engineered to satisfy residential fire safety code requirements specified in NFPA 13D. Proper installation ensures compliance with local life safety codes, providing reliable activation and maximized protective coverage for residential building layouts.

Key Features & Construction

  • Torque-Assist Installation: Simplifies mounting by reducing labor effort and ensuring a secure, consistent fit for dependable activation.
  • K-Factor 3.0 Design: Optimizes water flow and pressure balance, allowing for efficient residential coverage and potentially reduced pipe sizes.
  • Durable Construction: Built from robust brass components and corrosion-resistant coatings to maintain long-term performance against environmental factors.
  • Thermosensitive Glass Bulb: Expands to shatter and activate the sprinkler precisely when the rated activation temperature is reached.
  • Discreet Pendent Profile: Hangs unobtrusively from ceilings while delivering controlled, wide-area water discharge.
