Caledonia, Mich. – Viking Group, Inc., a Michigan-based manufacturer and distributor of fire protection solutions, announces the latest addition to its storage portfolio: the VK5141, a K28 Specific Application ESFR glass bulb pendent sprinkler. With a UL Listing for ceiling heights up to 48 ft. (14.6 m), the VK5141 suppresses high-challenge fires in storage areas.

“The new K28 glass bulb provides an advantage to storage and warehouse occupancies by allowing aisle widths as narrow as 5 ft.,” notes Martin Workman, Viking’s Senior Vice President – Product Experience, adding that “It allows for more racking to be installed and ultimately adds more space for facilities to efficiently stock more product.”

The VK5141 is a K28 sprinkler intended for use in buildings utilizing wet systems and has a maximum working pressure of 175 psi (12 bar). This sprinkler features a threaded 1” NPT (25 mm BSPT) connection and is available in a brass finish at temperature ratings of 155°F (68°C) and 200°F (93°C). New VK5141 sprinklers are available for use with revolutionary InstaSeal® technology and will feature Torque-Assist caps for compatible applications! Simply hand tighten the sprinklers to save time and money – no thread tape, pipe dope or sealants needed.
