Viking® VK1001 Upright Sprinkler | SR | 5.6K | Brass | 155F | 23867AB

This Viking XT1 Standard Response Brass Upright Fire Sprinkler features a 5mm glass bulb activating at 155F (68C) with a 5.6 K-Factor, and 1/2 in. NPT threads. Each standard response head features a brass body, stainless steel deflector, and nickel alloy spring. The manufacturer part number is 23867AB and the Sprinkler Identification Number (SIN) is VK1001.

This sprinkler’s stainless-steel deflector and laser-etched markings provide corrosion resistance and make the sprinkler identification number and listing information easy to read over time. The nickel-alloy spring and design pushes the glass bulb away from the inner water way providing a clean activation when you need it most.

This sprinkler replaces and improves upon the Viking VK100 (manufacturer part number 12986AB), with a reduced size (as short as 1 1/2 in. when installed), a corrosion-resistant deflector, a smooth and finish-ready frame, and a laser-etched deflector. Additionally, in 2021, the VK1001 (manufacturer part number 19914AB) frame was improved upon to reduce wrench slippage during installation – the old frame is angled, and the newest frame is squared. Note, the angled frame (the old VK1001 with part number 19914) uses a different installation wrench than the current listed accessories. The old installation wrench manufacturer part number is 22055.
