The Viking Institutional Escutcheon Installation Tool is designed to quickly secure Viking's 19650 and 19651 escutcheon plates. Institutional fire sprinklers work to reduce water damage and costly fire sprinkler replacement with a flush, tamper-resistant design. These institutional escutcheons and sprinklers are used in prisons, jails, secure mental health facilities, and other environments where vandalism or self-harm are a concern.

- 19650F
- 19650M/W
- 19650M (RAL9006)
- 19651F
- 19651M/W
- 19651M (RAL9006)
Viking's institutional escutcheons are found on a variety of pendent and horizontal sidewall fire sprinklers, including those with the following sprinkler identification numbers (SINs):
- VK426
- VK427
- VK650
- VK651
How do I install Viking's institutional escutcheons with the 10551W/B?
Use this tool only in accordance with Viking's official installation guides for each sprinkler. Installation typically follows these steps:
- Before securing the escutcheon, place it on the sprinkler (without the locking ring) to confirm that the water supply pipe is of the correct length. Then, install the locking ring.
- Secure Viking's 10551W/B escutcheon tool to the escutcheon by connecting the four indentations on the escutcheon ring to the tabs on the tool.
- Rotate the institutional escutcheon clockwise until the four arms of the locking ring engage and the plate fits tightly against the wall or ceiling.
- Rotate the plate an additional half-turn clockwise.
