Viking Micromatic&reg; and MicromaticHP&reg; Standard Response Upright and
Conventional (Old Style) Sprinklers are small, thermosensitive, glass-bulb
spray sprinklers available in several different finishes, temperature ratings, and K-Factors to meet design requirements. The special Polyester,
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), and Electroless Nickel PTFE (ENT) coatings
can be used in decorative applications where colors are desired. In addition,
these coatings have been investigated for installation in corrosive atmospheres
and are listed/approved as corrosion resistant as indicated in the Approval
Chart. (Note: FM Global approves the ENT coating as corrosion resistant. FM
Global has no approval classification for PTFE and Polyester coatings as corrosion resistant.)
Viking standard response sprinklers may be ordered and/or used as open sprinklers (glass bulb and pip cap assembly removed) on deluge systems. Refer to
Ordering Instructions on page 11r.

Ordering Information: (Also refer to the current Viking price list.)
Order Micromatic&reg; and MicromaticHP&reg; Standard Response Upright and Conventional Sprinklers by first adding the appropriate
suffix for the sprinkler finish and then the appropriate suffix for the temperature rating to the sprinkler base part number.
Finish Suffix: Brass = A, Chrome = F, White Polyester = M-/W, Black Polyester = M-/B, and Black PTFE = N, Wax Coated = C,
Wax Over Polyester = V-/W, ENT = JN
Temperature Suffix (&deg;F/&deg;C): 135&deg;/68&deg; = A, 155&deg;/68&deg; = B, 175&deg;/79&deg; = D, 200&deg;/93&deg; = E, 212&deg;/100&deg; = M, 286&deg;/141&deg; = G, 360&deg;/182&deg; = H,
500&deg;/260&deg; = L, OPEN = Z (PTFE only).
For example, sprinkler VK100 with a 1/2” thread, Brass finish and a 155 &deg;F/68 &deg;C temperature rating = Part No. 12986AB
Available Finishes And Temperature Ratings: Refer to Table 1.
Accessories: (Also refer to the “Sprinkler Accessories” section of the Viking data book.)
Sprinkler Wrenches:
A. Standard Wrench: Part No. 10896W/B (available since 2000)

Refer to appropriate NFPA Installation Standards.
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.
The Viking Micromatic&reg; and MicromaticHP&reg; Standard Response Upright and Conventional Sprinklers are available through a

The sprinkler temperature rating is stamped on the deflector.
Based on NFPA-13. Other limits may apply, depending on fire loading, sprinkler location, and other requirements of the Authority Having Jurisdiction.
Refer to specific installation standards.
Sprinklers of Ultra-High temperature rating are intended for use inside ovens, dryers, or similar enclosures with normal operating temperatures above
300 &deg;F (149 &deg;C). Where the ambient temperature around the Ultra-High temperature rated sprinkler is significantly reduced below 300 &deg;F (149 &deg;C),
response time may be severely retarded.
The corrosion-resistant coatings have passed the standard corrosion test required by the approving agencies indicated in the Approval Charts. These
tests cannot and do not represent all possible corrosive environments. Prior to installation, verify through the end-user that the coatings are compatible 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, ENT, and PTFE coatings. For PTFE coated open sprinklers only, the waterway is coated.
For ENT coated sprinklers, the waterway is coated.
Wax Over Polyester is unavailable for Sprinklers VK021 and VK124.
Wax melting point is 170 &deg;F (76 &deg;C) for 212 &deg;F (100 &deg;C) and 286 &deg;F (141 &deg;C) temperature rated sprinklers.
