CONCEALED WINDOW SPRINKLER FRAME ARMS AND BODY ORIENTATION

A fire exposure protection sprinkler assembly provides fire exposure protection for one or more windows and includes a fire exposure protection sprinkler, a sealing assembly configured to unseal in response to a fire such that fire exposure protection fluid may flow from the fire exposure protection sprinkler, and a housing having a pair of legs, with each of the legs having an aperture. The assembly also includes a deflection assembly configured to extend from the housing due to gravity and activation of a cover plate, with a deflector configured to disperse the fire exposure protection fluid over the one or more windows so as to wet the one or more windows.

Wall-mountable spray head unit

A wall-mountable spray head unit is shown with a display and/or at least one user input device. The wall-mountable spray head unit is shown deployed in a fire suppression system that includes at least one or at least two wall-mounted spray head units capable of aiming and shooting fire suppressant liquid into a fire.

COVER PLATE AND A COVER PLATE ASSEMBLY FOR A CONCEALED FIRE PROTECTION SPRINKLER
20230391051 · 2023-12-07 ·

A cover plate is configured to be releasably connected to a 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 bonded to the first layer and is more resistant to corrosion than is the first layer. In addition, the first layer is more thermally conductive than is the second layer. The fire protection sprinkler is configured to activate upon activation of a thermally responsive element. The thermally responsive element is a bulb or a soldered link.

FIRE PROTECTION SPRINKLER ASSEMBLIES AND INSTALLATIONS WITH ADJUSTABLE PUSH-TO-CONNECT FITTINGS

Adjustable fire protection assemblies and methods are provided. The assembly includes a sprinkler having a body with an outer encasing surface and a deflector supported from the body. An escutcheon having a receiver and a rim surround the fire protection sprinkler to define an aperture between the receiver and the sprinkler. A push-to-connect fitting of the assembly includes a tubular member with an end for connection to a pipe and an internal conduit that receives the sprinkler body. A seal member and a retaining ring are disposed within the tubular member to form an adjustable seal and grip about the sprinkler body. A releasing member translates to disengage the retaining ring from the sprinkler body; and the escutcheon translates with respect to the tubular member in a sliding surface engagement to define an adjustable deflector-to-rim distance between the rim of the escutcheon and the deflector of the sprinkler.

FIRE PROTECTION SPRINKLER ASSEMBLY

A sprinkler assembly (10) having a receiving member (12), a fluid tight seal (44) and a sprinkler frame (14). The receiving member includes an inner surface (22) defining an internal passageway and a central axis (A-A) of the assembly. The frame of the sprinkler includes an internal surface (38) that defines a fluid passage. The sprinkler assembly includes cooperating positioning elements (28, 40) which engage and couple the sprinkler frame to the receiving member for at least one of an axial and rotational adjustment between the frame and receiving member. The engaged positioning elements facilitate formation or location of the fluid tight seal between the sprinkler frame and receiving member, the seal being spaced from the engaged positioning elements. In one aspect of the assembly, the sprinkler frame and receiving member are made of plastic material (e.g. CPVC).
