A wildfire suppression assembly for inhibiting the development of wildfires includes a tower that is located in a remote location and an arm that is pivotally coupled to the tower. A pump is integrated into the tower and the pump is fluidly coupled to a supply pipe to receive water from a below ground water supply. A spray pipe is coupled to the arm and the spray pipe is in fluid communication with the supply pipe to receive the water urged by the pump when the pump is turned on. A spray nozzle is fluidly coupled to the spray pipe to spray the water onto the remote location. In this way the spray nozzle inhibits the development of wildfires by keeping the moisture content of the remote location above a wildfire threshold.

A fire extinguishing system valve (1), in particular wet alarm valve, dry alarm valve or spray water valve, having a housing (3) which has a fluid inlet chamber (9), a fluid outlet chamber (11) and a closing body (13) which can move back and forth between a blocking state and a release state, wherein the fluid inlet chamber (9) and the fluid outlet chamber (11) communicate directly with one another in a fluid-conducting manner in the release state, and the closing body (13) prevents the direct communication between the fluid inlet chamber (9) and the fluid outlet chamber (11) in the blocking state. The housing (3) has a dedicated discharge duct (30) which has at least one inlet (30a, b) connected to the fluid outlet chamber (11) and an outlet (30c) leading out of the housing (3) of the fire extinguishing system valve (1), and which is integrated into the housing (3).

A coupling assembly includes a sprinkler and a fitting. The sprinkler includes an inlet end defining a sprinkler interface on a protrusion. The fitting extends from a first end that receives the pipe to a second end that includes a fitting interface. The inlet end of the sprinkler couples with the second end and the fitting interface of the fitting couples with the sprinkler interface. The fitting interface and the sprinkler interface limit rotation of the sprinkler relative to the fitting and form a fluid seal between the fitting and the sprinkler.

Temporary devices and methods for providing a protected installed fire protection sprinkler assembly in an area, building, occupancy or worksite under construction and/or renovation. A protective device is embodied as a cap to house and protect the installed sprinkler assembly within an internal chamber. The protective cap includes a receiver end that forms a gription surface engagement with a peripheral surface of the sprinkler assembly. The cap provides an aerosol shield having peripheral shielded openings sufficient for heated gas to enter the internal chamber to thermally actuate the housed sprinkler assembly in the event of a fire; and yet limit the flow of aerosol paint spray and other debris into the chamber during construction or renovation activities that could damage or adversely impact sprinkler performance. The protective cap is displaced from the sprinkler assembly upon sprinkler actuation to permit the sprinkler to operate and distribute firefighting fluid without interference.

The invention relates to a fire-extinguishing facility comprising an extinguishing fluid line for transporting an extinguishing fluid, a plurality of sprinklers connected to the extinguishing fluid line in a fluid-guiding manner which are closed in a standby state and open in an extinguishing state in order to supply the extinguishing fluid, and a flow-measuring device associated with the extinguishing fluid line. According to the invention, the flow-measuring device is designed to approximately detect a volume flow of the extinguishing fluid transported in the extinguishing fluid line, and an evaluation unit is provided and designed to assign a number of open sprinklers to the approximately detected volume flow.
