DESCRIPTION <br /> Viking Early Suppression Fast Response (ESFR) Pendent Sprinkler VK510 incorpo- <br /> rates the capability to suppress specific high-challenge fires. The addition of a larger <br /> K-Factor allows ESFR performance at lower end-head pressures than ESFR K14 <br /> sprinklers. K25.2 ESFR sprinklers can: <br /> • Eliminate the use of in-rack sprinklers when protecting high-piled storage of certain <br /> specified materials up to 40 ft. (12.2 m)with ceilings up to 45 ft. (13.7 m)* <br /> • Reduce or eliminate the need for a system fire pump. <br /> • Provide flexibility when sizing system piping. <br /> Viking VK510 ESFR Pendent Sprinklers are primarily intended to protect the following <br /> types of storage, which tend to produce severe-challenge fires: palletized and solid <br /> pile storage and single, double, multiple row, and portable open rack storage (nom <br /> open-top containers or solid shelves). <br /> Viking ESFR Pendent VK510 Sprinklers provide protection of most common storage <br /> materials, including: <br /> • Encapsulated or unencapsulated Class I, II, III, and IV commodities*. <br /> • cULus Listed for protection of cartoned unexpanded plastic commodities and FM Approved for protection of cartoned and un- <br /> cartoned unexpanded plastic commodities*. <br /> • FM Approved for protection of exposed expanded polystyrene and exposed expanded polyurethane commodities*. <br /> "Refer the Approval Charts and Design Criteria on pages 124c-e for cULus Listing and FM Approval requirements that must be followed. <br /> In addition, some storage arrangements of rolled paper, flammable liquids, aerosols, and rubber tires may be protected by Viking <br /> ESFR Pendent Sprinkler VK510. <br /> 2. LISTINGS AND APPROVALS <br /> c&s cULus Listed: Category VNWH (Listed as a Specific Application ESFR Sprinkler) <br /> Successfully meets new UL 1767 test standard and compliance program for ESFR sprinklers installed in rack <br /> storage with high clearances to ceiling (20 ft or greater) <br /> FM FM Approved: Class 2026 <br /> VdS Approved: Certificate G4040015 <br /> vas LPCB Approved: Ref. No. 096e/07 <br /> NOTE: Other International approval certificates are available upon request. <br /> LPCB e <br /> Refer to Approval Chart 1 and Design Criteria on pages 124c-d for cULus Listing requirements, and refer to Approval Chart 2 <br /> and Design Criteria on page 124e for FM Approval requirements that must be followed. <br /> 3.
