Viking™ B-1 Sprinkler Head Guard & Shield for Frame Style Upright Fire Sprinklers
This Viking™ fire sprinkler head guard & shield helps protect fire sprinklers from impact damage from a variety of causes in a variety of settings – flying balls in a gym, forklifts in a warehouse, or vandalism in an arena. This B-1 sprinkler head guard must be installed after sprinkler installation, and is FM Approved for use with the following Sprinkler Identification Numbers (SINs):
VK100, VK108, VK200, VK300, VK350
See manufacturer datasheet for complete installation instructions. Made of a durable steel wire with a chrome finish, these guards, sometimes called fire sprinkler cages, protect from light to hard hits to prevent damage and/or accidental activation in dry fire sprinklers.
Any place with a high risk for impact/damage to a protruding fire sprinkler is recommended to have a head guard. That typically includes hotels, schools, gyms, warehouses, or any place with low headroom or clearance.
