4. INSTALLATION
WARNING: Viking Model A-2, A-2X, B-2, C-2, and D-2 Solid Cone Spray Nozzles are manufactured and tested to meet the rigid
requirements of the approving agency. The nozzles are designed to be installed in accordance with recognized installation stand-
ards. Deviation from the standards or any alteration to the nozzle after it leaves the factory including, but not limited to: painting,
plating, coating, or modification, may render the unit inoperative and will automatically nullify the approval and any guarantee made
by The Viking Corporation.
The Approval Charts on pages 4-5 show listings and approvals of Model A-2, A-2X, B-2, C-2, and D-2 Spray Nozzles for use on
water spray systems. The charts show listings and approvals available at the time of printing. Other approvals are in process. Check
with the manufacturer for any additional approvals.
A. Spray nozzles are to be installed in accordance with the latest edition of Viking technical data, the latest published
standards of NFPA, FM Global, LPCB, APSAD, VdS or other similar organizations, and also with the provisions of gov-
ernmental codes, ordinances, and standards whenever applicable. The use of Model A-2, A-2X, B-2, C-2, and D-2 Spray
Nozzles may be limited due to occupancy and hazard. Refer to the Authority Having Jurisdiction prior to installation.
B. Spray nozzles are installed on fixed fire protection systems, such as deluge systems, where total flooding is required.
C. Handle Spray Nozzles with care. They must be stored in a cool, dry place in their original shipping container. Never install a
spray nozzle that has been dropped or damaged.
D. Corrosion-resistant spray nozzles must be installed when subject to corrosive atmospheres. When installing corrosion resistant
nozzles, take care not to damage the corrosion resistant coating.
E. Spray nozzles must be installed after the piping is in place to prevent mechanical damage.
F. Before installing, be sure to have the appropriate model, with the correct K-Factor and spray angle. Spray nozzle bodies are
permanently marked with the model number. All inserts are permanently marked with the angle of discharge and model.
1. Apply a small amount of pipe-joint compound or tape to the external threads of the spray nozzle only, taking care not to allow
a build-up of compound inside the inlet.
2. Install the nozzle on the fixed piping using a standard crescent wrench. Take care not to over-tighten or damage the spray
nozzle.
G. Spray nozzles must be protected from mechanical damage. Where open spray nozzles are used, care must be taken to prevent
foreign materials from entering the orifice. Foreign materials may accumulate and restrict or plug the waterway and may prevent
proper operation of the spray nozzle.
H. Install dust plugs (if used): After installing the spray nozzle unit, press the dust cover over the end of the nozzle insert.
5. OPERATION
Model A-2, A-2X, B-2, C-2, and D-2 Solid Cone Spray Nozzles are designed to apply cooling water to exposed vertical, horizontal,
curved, and irregular shaped surfaces to allow cooling of objects externally when exposed to an adjacent fire. Cooling is done to
prevent objects from absorbing heat that could cause structural damage and possible spread of fire to the protected object. In some
applications, Model A-2, A-2X, B-2, C-2, and D-2 Spray Nozzles may be applied to control or extinguish fire of the protected area
(depending on water design application density).

DESIGN CRITERIA
(Also refer to the Approval Charts on pages 4-5.)
FM Approval Requirements:
For installation in accordance with the latest applicable FM Loss Prevention Data Sheets and Technical Advisory Bulletins. FM Global Loss Prevention
Data Sheets and Technical Advisory Bulletins contain guidelines relating to, but not limited to: minimum water supply requirements, hydraulic design,
ceiling slope and obstructions, minimum and maximum allowable spacing, and distance below the ceiling.
Pipeline Strainers Orifice diameter is less than 3/8 (9.4mm) for Model A-2 Nozzles with K-Factors of 1.2 and 1.4 and Model A-2X Nozzles with K-Factors
