When it comes to protecting your home and loved ones from the devastating effects of fire, nothing beats the peace of mind provided by a dependable residential sprinkler system. Let’s explore the impressive range of residential sprinkler solutions offered by Viking, and why these solutions have been trusted by homeowners, builders, and fire safety professionals for decades. We’ll also explore a brand-new offering from Viking that completely rounds out the already vast residential line: The VK495 Residential Concealed Pendent sprinkler. Optimized at the 14' x 14' coverage area, the K3.7 sprinkler is ideal where water supply concerns are a significant focus.
The Industry’s Paramount Residential Sprinkler Offering
Viking offers a wide range of residential fire sprinklers, including pendent, upright, horizontal sidewall and various concealed sprinklers. These sprinklers are designed to meet the needs of any residential space, from small apartments to large homes and any residential space in between. (Customers can protect balconies, garages and more!)
Residential sprinklers range in temperature, size and K-factor, providing protection at various levels and for different residential applications. Customers can order sprinklers in various finishes, and can even choose between differing cover plate options to ensure their plates match the aesthetic of their home or living space.
Viking also offers a variety of valves and accessories to complement their fire sprinklers and provide comprehensive fire protection for any residential setting.
Rounding Out the Lineup with the cULus Listed VK495
Water supply concerns can be a critical issue in some residential areas, meaning low-flowing k-factors are ideal in these scenarios. Viking’s all new VK495 3.7K Residential Concealed Pendent features the lowest flows and pressures at the 14’ coverage area, making it a revolutionary offering and the cherry on top of Viking’s already superior residential offering.
Viking already provides sprinklers in various K-factors for residential settings, including a K3.0, K4.9 and K5.8 offering (some of the most common K-factors available in Viking’s residential sprinkler line). The new K3.7 completes the lineup, making Viking a one-stop-shop for sprinkler designers.
The glass bulb VK495 is available in brass or an Electroless Nickel PTFE (ENT) coating for applications in which corrosion prevention might be of concern. The sprinkler is cULus Listed and has an Ordinary temperature rating of 155°F (68°C) and an Intermediate temperature rating of 200°F (93°C).

The Sprinkler Selector, one of Viking's premiere digital tools, makes finding your project’s perfect sprinkler match easier than ever.
