The new installation valves are fitted with by-pass arrangements for use during routine valve
maintenance.
The pressure switches provided on the installation control valve sets (wired by others)
should be linked to the main building fire alarm system; indicating activation.
In the event of a fire the sprinkler system is fully automatic and does not require any
assistance.
In order to comply with BSEN 12845: The new installation valve sets should be serviced
every six months by a competent company, fully conversant with the requirements of LPC
Rules for Automatic Sprinkler Installations: incorporating BSEN 12845.
Should you wish us to provide a quotation for the service and maintenance, please contact
our Service Department on 0161 336 0001 or alternatively you can send an email to
[email protected].
Although the sprinkler system is designed to fight the fire it relies on the early response to
prevent the fire spread. The faster the sprinklers operate the more efficient they will be at
controlling and/or suppressing the fire.
Storage arrangements and methods play a vital role in keeping the sprinkler system fully
efficient.
Offices and all other rooms should always be kept tidy and a clearance of at least 500mm
should be maintained between the top of any goods and the sprinkler heads at the ceiling
level.

1. DESCRIPTION
The Viking Model J-1 Alarm Check Valve serves as a check valve by
trapping pressurized water above the clapper and preventing reverse
flow from sprinkler piping. The valve is designed to initiate an alarm
during a sustained flow of water (such as the flow required by an
open sprinkler) by operating an optional water motor alarm and/or
alarm pressure switch. The valve is made suitable for use on variable
pressure water supplies by adding the optional retard chamber to the
standard trim.

4. INSTALLATION
Locate the water motor on an exterior wall as close as practical to the valve being monitored for water flow. A 3/4” (20 mm) strainer
(included) is required on the alarm line as close as possible to the alarm outlet of the valve being monitored for water flow (or outlet of
the retard chamber, if used). The location must be easily accessible for cleaning.
Figure 1: Accessories
A. Cut a 1-7/16” (36.5 mm) minimum to 1-5/8” (41.3 mm) maximum diameter hole in the building wall to accommodate the 3/4” (20
mm) galvanized spacer pipe. (Note: Spacer pipe is NOT included in Water Motor Alarm Package). The hole through the wall must
be level or pitched slightly downward toward the water motor.
B. Measure the wall thickness.
C. Cut and thread the spacer pipe to a length equal to: The wall thickness minus 1” (25.4 mm). If the extension mounting cup is
used, add an additional 3” (76 mm) to the spacer pipe.
D. Cut the drive shaft (10) to a length equal to: The total wall thickness plus 2-3/4” (70 mm). If extension mounting cup is used, add
an additional 3” (76 mm).
E. File the drive shaft to provide a 3/32” (2.4 mm) x 450 chamfer on both corners of both ends. File off all burrs and insert the drive
shaft into the hole of the striker arm shaft.
F. Slide the spacer pipe over the shaft and thread the end of the spacer pipe into the gong support assembly coupling (12).
G. Slide the closure plate (if used) over the free end of the spacer pipe, up to the back of the gong. If desired, the closure plate may
be fastened to the gong support by using the 9/32” (7.14 mm) diameter hole in the gong support. Use only a flat or round headed
fastener that will not interfere with striker arm movement.
H. Position the support assembly on the exterior wall surface by sliding the free threaded end of the spacer pipe into the hole from
outside the building.
I. On the inside surface of the wall: Slide the wall plate provided (9), over the free threaded end of the spacer pipe. (If an extension
mounting cup is used, place it over the end of the spacer pipe with the flared end toward the wall before sliding the wall plate
into position).

FM Approval Requirements:
The Viking Microfast® Quick Response Pendent Sprinkler VK302 is FM Approved as quick response Non-storage upright and pendent
sprinklers as indicated in the FM Approval Guide. For specific application and installation requirements, reference the latest applicable
FM Loss Prevention Data Sheets (including Data Sheet 2-0). FM Global Loss Prevention Data Sheets contain guidelines relating to, but
not limited to: minimum water supply requirements, hydraulic design, ceiling slope and obstructions, minimum and maximum allowable
spacing, and deflector distance below the ceiling.
NOTE: The FM installation guidelines may differ from cULus and/or NFPA criteria.
IMPORTANT: Always refer to Bulletin Form No. F_091699 - Care and Handling of Sprinklers. Also refer to page
QR1-3 for general care, installation, and maintenance information. Viking sprinklers are to be installed in ac-
cordance with the latest edition of Viking technical data, the appropriate standards of NFPA, FM Global, LPCB,
APSAD, VdS or other similar organizations, and also with the provisions of governmental codes, ordinances, and
standards, whenever applicable.

Ordering Information: (Also refer to the current Viking price list.)
Order Microfast® and MicrofastHP® Quick Response Upright and Conventional Sprinklers by first adding the appropriate suffix for
the sprinkler finish and then the appropriate suffix for the temperature rating to the sprinkler base part number.
Finish Suffix: Brass = A, Chrome = F, White Polyester = M-/W, and Black Polyester = M-/B
Temperature Suffix (°F/°C): 135°/57° = A, 155°/68° = B, 175°/79° = D, 200°/93° = E, and 286°/141° = G
For example, sprinkler VK345 with a 15 mm thread, Brass finish and a 155 °F/68 °C temperature rating = Part No. 12984AB
Available Finishes And Temperature Ratings: Refer to Table 1.

4. INSTALLATION
Refer to appropriate NFPA Installation Standards.
5. OPERATION
During fire conditions, the heat-sensitive liquid in the glass bulb expands, causing the glass to shatter, releasing the pip cap and
sealing spring assembly. Water flowing through the sprinkler orifice strikes the sprinkler deflector, forming a uniform spray pattern
to extinguish or control the fire.
7. AVAILABILITY
The Viking Microfast® Quick Response Upright Sprinkler VK345 is available through a network of domestic and international distributors.
See The Viking Corporation web site for the closest distributor or contact The Viking Corporation.
8. GUARANTEE
For details of warranty, refer to Viking’s current list price schedule or contact Viking directly.
