CPVC sprinkler assembly with support member
11612775 · 2023-03-28 · ·

A sprinkler assembly that includes a deflector assembly that translates with respect to the sprinkler frame upon actuation of the sprinkler from an unactuated state. The sprinkler frame includes a support member having an annular member spaced from the outlet to limit or control the axial translation of the deflector assembly relative to the outlet. Moreover, the annular member includes a region to support a closure assembly and thermally responsive trigger assembly under a fluid static load. A cover plate assembly includes a flexible annular wall to allow the cover plate assembly to be pushed on and held about the annular member of the sprinkler frame.

TELESCOPING WATERWAY WITH INTEGRATED VALVE

A telescoping waterway component for use in firefighting equipment has a multi-piece outer tube and a telescoping inner tube through which fluid flows. An inlet component is selectively positionable at different inlet heights along the outer tube and can be positioned to provide different inlet angles. A rotating shutoff element is mounted within a manifold of the inlet component. The inner tube can be retracted to nest within a hollow cross-section of the shutoff element when that element is closed. A valve interlock disables an operator from rotating the shutoff element while the inner tube is retracted, or from retracting the inner tube while the shutoff element is open.

Fire protection sprinkler assembly with pressure relief and retention thread

A sprinkler assembly include a connection fitting and a fire protection sprinkler. The connection fitting includes a tubular member with a first insertion end and a second insertion end with an internal conduit extending along a longitudinal axis, the tubular member including an exterior surface and an inner surface, the inner surface defining a sealing surface between the first and second insertion ends circumscribed about the longitudinal axis, the inner surface including a gripping portion spaced from the sealing surface. The fire protection sprinkler has a body defining an inlet and an outlet with a passageway between the inlet and the outlet, a deflector spaced from the outlet, the body having an outer encasing surface surrounding the longitudinal axis and including a leading portion and a trailing portion engaged with the gripping portion, having a first retention section and a second retention section.

A sprinkler includes a connector, a body, at least one pin, and a deflector. The connector extends between an inlet end and an outlet end. The body includes a pin wall extending from the outlet end of the connector. The pin wall defines at least one pin receiver. The body wall extends from the pin wall. The pin wall and the body wall define a chamber. The at least one pin is fixed with the at least one pin receiver. The deflector is coupled with the at least one pin to move within the chamber along the at least one pin responsive to a trigger condition from an undeployed state to a deployed state.

COVER PLATE AND A COVER PLATE ASSEMBLY FOR A CONCEALED FIRE PROTECTION SPRINKLER
20230104719 · 2023-04-06 ·

A cover plate is configured to be releasably connected to a concealed fire protection sprinkler to conceal the fire protection sprinkler. The cover plate includes a first layer of metal on a first side of the cover plate that faces the concealed fire protection sprinkler, and a second layer of metal on a second side of the cover plate, the second side being opposite to the first side. The second layer of metal is more resistant to corrosion than the first layer, and is bonded to the first layer. In addition, the first layer is more thermally conductive than the second layer.
