A sprinkler includes a frame, a deflector member, a sealing assembly, and a releasing mechanism for a controlled actuation. The releasing mechanism includes a hook member, a strut member, a load member, a link member, and an actuator. The link member surrounds or frames the strut and hook members and holds the members in a static relationship of an unactuated configuration. A preferred link member includes a single central slot through which each of the hook member and the strut member extend. The actuator is arranged with respect to the link member to separate the hook and strut members and break the link member upon operation of the actuator.

A fire suppression system having a first triggering mechanism capable of being remotely triggered in response to a fire condition and a second manual triggering mechanism. More particularly, the fire extinguisher includes a valve for a fire extinguisher capable of manual and automatic operation. The system further includes a mechanism to notify of inoperable local status. During automatic operation, the system can be being triggered by a control panel in electrical communication, such as in response to a signal from smoke detectors. This system may also be manually triggered or in response to a temperature threshold sensor or other sensors. The valve includes an actuator that provides a separate area to place a safety pin for storing securely, and which provides feedback to the control system that the safety pin is properly stored and therefore, the fire extinguisher is active.

A selector valve for a fire suppression system includes a pneumatic fluid inlet connecting to an inlet of a first pressure solenoid and an inlet of a second pressure solenoid. An inlet of a first vent solenoid in the selector valve is connected to an outlet of the first pressure solenoid, and an inlet of a second vent solenoid in the selector valve is connected to an outlet of the second pressure solenoid. A first selector valve outlet is connected to the outlet of the first pressure solenoid and a second selector valve outlet connected to the outlet of the second pressure solenoid.
