Water shields protect the sprinkler’s heat-sensing element from water discharging at a higher elevation. Viking XT1 style sprinklers with F-1 Water Shields and/or XG Guards are converted to intermediate level/rack storage sprinklers. They may be used in any application where water shielding is required, such as in-rack sprinkler systems, under grating, on pilot sprinklers for deluge systems, and outdoors as a weather shield.

F-1 Water Shield is approved for use with XT1 Pendent sprinklers: VK1021, VK3021, VK2022, VK3521, VK2021, and VK3522

NOTE: Sprinkler water shields and guards are not designed to be used on sprinklers installed in recessed escutcheons.
