DESCRIPTION Viking Micromatica and MicromaticHP11 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 and Teflon" coat- ings can be used in decorative applications where colors are desired. In addi- tion, these coatings have been investigated for installation in corrosive atmos- pheres and are cULus listed as corrosion resistant as indicated in the Approval Chart. (Note: FM Global has no approval classification for Teflone and Polyester coat- ings 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 hr.

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. INSPECTIONS, TESTS AND MAINTENANCE Refer to NFPA 25 for Inspection, Testing and Maintenance requirements.

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 °F (149 °C). Where the ambient temperature around the Ultra-High temperature rated sprinder is significantly reduced below 300 °F (149 °C), response time may be severely retarded. The corrosion-resistant coatings have passed the standard corrosion test required by the apprcving agencies indicated on pages lit. 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 and Teflon® coatings. For Teflon® coated open sprinklers only, the waterway is coated. Wax Over Polyester is unavailable for Sprinklers VK021 and VK124. 6 Wax melting point is 170 °F (76 °C) for 212 °F (100 °C) and 286 °F (141 °C) temperature rated sprinklers.

Application The Reliable Model G4 Concealer® is the most versatile concealed sprinkler available. It provides the best form of fire pro- tection while offering an attractive appearance and ½" (13mm) of cover adjustment for ease of instal- lation. The adjustable 1" NPT inlet versions have 1)/2" (38mm) of total adjustment and also eliminates the need for a reducing cou- pling. The small diameter Push-on/Thread-off cover plate assembly is easily attached and blends into the ceiling, con- cealing the most dependable fire protection available, an automatic sprinkler system. Bulletin 121 Rev.l Model G4 Concealed Automatic Sprinkler The Concealer® is designed for use where aesthetic ap- pearance is important. Offices, hospitals, motels and res- taurants are but a few of the applications where it can be used. It is available in different orifice sizes allowing the de- signer to optimize system performance, thereby achieving a most efficient installation. The Concealer® can eliminate the need for precise cutting of drop nipples. The Push-on/Thread-off cover plate assem- bly can be adjusted without tools so it mates accurately with the ceiling. The fire protection system need not be shut down to adjust or remove the cover plate assembly. Product Description The Reliable Model G4 Concealer® uses the proven Model G fusible element in a standard style sprinkler frame with a drop-down deflector. This assembly is recessed into the ceiling and concealed by a flat cover plate. The Push-on/Thread-off cover plate and sprinkler cup assem- blies are held tight by a flexible tooth engagement to the threaded cup. This threaded engagement provides ½" (13mm) of cover adjustment. The flat cover plate is attached to the skirt using an ordinary temperature classification sol- der. This results in a strong cover plate assembly with an or- dinary temperature rating, and an intermediate temperature sprinkler which can be installed in 150°F (66°C) environ- ments. When the ceiling temperature rises, the solder hold- ing the cover plate to the skirt melts, the flat cover plate released thus exposing the sprinkler inside to the rising am- bient temperature. The subsequent fusing of the sprinkler element opens the waterway and causes the deflector to drop into position to distribute the discharging water. Any secure engagement of the threads between the cover plate and cup will assure that the drop—down deflector is properly located below the ceil- ing when a sprinkler operates. The Reliable Automatic Sprinkler Co., Inc., 525 North MacQuesten Parkway, Mount Vernon, New York 10552 Installation Do not install The Concealer® in ceilings which have positive pressure in the space in the space above. After a 2/ inch diameter hole is cut in the ceiling, the sprinkler is to be installed with the Model G4 Wrench. The wrench has drive tangs which insert into cup slots. When installing a sprin- kler the wrench is first positioned into the sprinkler/cup assembly until the wrench tangs engage drive slots in the top of the cup (there are two sets of mating drive slots in the cup). The sprinkler is then tightened into the pipe fitting. When inserting or removing the wrench from the sprinkler/cup assembly care should be taken to prevent damage to the sprinkler. DO NOT WRENCH ON ANY OTHER PART OFTHE SPRINKLER/CUPASSEMBLY. The adjustable inlet versions are similar to the standard Model G4 except that an addition 1" (25mm) of adjustment is provided by means of a telescoping inlet section that threads in or out of a stationary coupling reducer (either 1 male or 1 female) as shown in Hg. 2 or Hg. 3. These sprinklers must be installed before the ceiling is in place, by wrenching on only the coupling reducer Temperature Ratings Classification Sprinkler Cover Plate Max. Ambient Temp.

After the ceiling has been installed with holes for the sprinkler, each telescoping inlet section is to be adjusted with the G4 Wrench. Install the push-on/thread-off cover plate assembly over the sprinkler by holding and pressing it straight up into the cup. Final adjustment of each cover assembly is made by hand turning it clockwise until it is tight against the ceiling. Maintenance The Model G4 Concealer® should be inspected quarterly and the sprinkler system maintained in accordance with NFPA 25. Do not clean sprinklers with soap and water, ammonia or any other cleaning fluids. Remove any sprinkler that has been painted (other than factory applied) or damaged in any way. A stock of spare sprinklers should be maintained to allow quick re- placement of damaged or operated sprinklers. Prior to installa- flon, sprinklers should be maintained in the original cartons and packaging to minimize the potential for damage to sprinklers that would cause improper operation or non-operation.
