3. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Viking Micromatic® and MicromaticHP®
Standard Response Horizontal Side-
wall (HSW) Sprinklers are small
thermosensitive glass-bulb style spray
sprinklers available with finishes and
temperature ratings to meet design re-
quirements. Used in conjunction with
one of the various corrosion-resistant
coatings, the units provide protection
against many corrosive environments.
In addition, the special Polyester or Tef-
lon® coatings can be used in decorative
applications.
During fire conditions, the heat-sensi-
tive liquid in the 5 mm glass bulb ex-
pands, causing the bulb to shatter, re -
leasing the pip-cap and sealing spring
assembly. Water flowing through the
sprinkler orifice strikes the sprinkler de-
flector, forming a uniform spray pattern
to extinguish or control the fire.
Viking Standard Response Glass-Bulb
Style Sprinklers may be ordered and/or
used as open sprinklers (glass bulb and
pip-cap assembly removed) on deluge
systems.

Footnotes
1 Based on National Fire Prevention and Control Administration Contract No. 7-34860.
2 Based on NFPA-13. Other limits may apply depending on fire loading, sprinkler location, and
other requirements of the Authority Having Jurisdiction. Refer to specific installation standards.
3 The temperature rating is stamped on the deflector.
4 The corrosion-resistant coatings have passed the standard corrosion test required by the
approving agencies indicated in the Approval Chart on page 14 f. 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 environ-
ment. The coatings indicated are applied to the exposed exterior surfaces only and, there-
fore, cannot be used as open sprinklers. Note that the spring is exposed on sprinklers with
Teflon® or Polyester coating.

3 UL and ULC Listed for Light-Hazard occupancies only. Locate with deflectors 4" to 12" (102 mm to 304 mm) below ceilings.
4 FM Approved for Light-Hazard occupancies only. Locate with deflectors 4" to 6 " (102 mm to 152 mm) below ceilings.
5 UL and ULC, and C-UL Listed as corrosion-resistant.
6 Metric K-Factor shown is for use when pressure is measured in kPa. When pressure is measured in BAR, multiply the metric K-Factor shown by 10.0.
7 UL and C-UL Listed for Light-Hazard, Ordinary Hazard Group I, and Ordinary Hazard Group II oc cupancies. Locate with deflectors 4" to 12"
(102 mm to 305 mm) be low ceil ings.
8 The Viking Microfast ® Model F-1 Adjustable Escutcheon is considered a surface-mounted escutcheon because it does not allow the fusible el-
ement of the sprinkler to be recessed behind the face of the wall or ceiling.
