Mirage (Concealed)

In the past, it has been difficult to find a fire sprinkler that can meet the most demanding aesthetic requirements of discriminating architects and engineers - while still providing the fire sprinkler contractor the ultimate in installation flexibility. A trade off always had to be made between a non-intrusive installation and a cost-effective installation.

The Mirage has the smallest cover plate and the lowest profile of any concealed sprinkler available.

Now, for the first time, there is a product that architects, engineers, and fire sprinkler contractors can use with confidence: the Horizon"tm" Mirage Concealed Sprinkler from The Viking Corporation.

Mirage. It's the first concealed sprinkler that's as easy on your eyes as it is to install.

Concealed sprinklers are typically specified to provide an almost invisible appearance to the sprinkler installation; this is where the Mirage is true to its name. The Mirage has the smallest cover plate (2 3/4") and the lowest profile (less than 5/32") of any concealed sprinkler available. These features, coupled with Mirage's unique push-on/thread-off cover plate design, make the Mirage virtually undetectable in a finished ceiling.

Mirage provides a full 1/2" of vertical adjustability - and its unique positive latch design ensures a secure fit.

The push-on/thread-off cover plate design also incorporates a positive latch feature that ensures a secure fit - and the confidence that the cover plate will stay in plate. No costly call-backs.

In addition, the push-on feature allows a flush fit in spite of the many variables involved in sprinkler installation. This eliminates the unsightly gaps between the ceiling and the cover plate found in most ordinary concealed sprinklers. The thread-off feature enables easy removal of the cover plate without damaging the sprinkler or the ceiling.

No other concealed sprinkler allows more vertical adjustability than the Mirage: a full 1/2". This feature helps to minimize the number of drops which need recutting and results in a clean, professional installation. The Mirage also eliminates guesswork for ceiling installers. A standard two-inch hole saw provides the specified ceiling hole size.

In addition, the Mirage features a durable, protective cap that not only protects during shipping and installation, but also provides a convenient way to mark ceiling tiles for the center of the hole saw. And, to protect the assembly during installation, drop pins are fully retracted and enclosed.

For added convenience, Mirage cover plates are packed separately - resulting in lower inventory costs and less chance of loss or damage at the job site.

In order to meet the demanding needs of a variety of applications, the Mirage is available in both standard and quick response versions. And, to make Mirage sprinklers even more appealing, they're available in three standard and over 500 custom colors, so there's one to go with any decor. Their durable baked enamel finish means they'll keep their good looks, year after year. All at a price that looks good, too.

The First Extended Coverage Concealed Sprinkler.

The breakthrough technology of the Mirage has convinced Underwriter's Laboratories to aware Extended Coverage and Extended Coverage Quick Response listings to the Mirage Concealed Sprinkler. The Mirage is the first concealed sprinkler designed to meet the strict testing criteria for such usage.

This feature can allow a sprinkler contractor to significantly reduce the number of sprinklers, along with the associated pipe, fittings, hangers, and labor. These savings result in lower installed cost. Extended Coverage listings also enable the sprinkler contractor to meet center-of-tile requirements without sacrificing area of coverage.
