QR Dry Horizontal Sidewall Sprinkler (K5.6)

Viking is a proud world leader in the design and manufacturing of life-saving fire sprinklers. The VK182, VK178 and VK174 QR Dry Horizontal Sidewall Sprinkler are just some of thousands of industry-leading sprinklers available to customers! 

The VK182, VK178 and VK174 are thermosensitive spray sprinklers suitable for use in areas subject to freezing. The sprinklers are designed for dry systems and preaction systems where it is necessary to prevent water or condensation from entering the drop nipple before sprinkler operation. They may also be installed in spaces subject to freezing and supplied from a wet system in an adjacent heated area.  

Viking Quick Response Dry HSW Sprinklers are available in various finishes and temperature ratings to meet design requirements. The special Polyester and Electroless Nickel PTFE (ENT) coatings have been investigated for installation in corrosive atmospheres and are listed/approved as corrosion resistant as indicated in the Approval Charts. (Note: FM Global has no approval classification for Polyester coatings as corrosion resistant).
