The VK972 Standard Response Concealed Sprinkler and Flexible Hose Assembly is a next-generation flexible assembly pre-calibrated with a K-factor of 5.6 (80.6 metric), ensuring accurate system design without the need to calculate friction loss through the flexible hose—an essential benefit in retrofit projects where original system data may be lacking. Available in a brass finish, with 155 °F (68 °C), 175 °F (79 °C), or 200 °F (93 °C) temperature ratings, and 48 inch or 60 inch hose assembly lengths.

The VK972 is compatible with revolutionary CPVC InstaSeal® technology through the addition of new Torque-Assist caps. Make sure to look for the compatibility icon to ensure the correct sprinklers are being ordered for a job requiring InstaSeal technology.
