PROTECTED FIRE PROTECTION SPRINKLER AND TOOL ASSEMBLIES
Installation and protective devices for fire protection sprinkler assembly having a support cup is disposed about the sprinkler assembly. A protective cap engages the support cup to define an internal volume to enclose the sprinkler therein and protect operational components of the sprinkler during storage, transport, installation and when awaiting to be placed into service. The protective cap defines a tool path with slots of the protective cap in fluid communication with the internal volume. The protective cap and tools are configured to cooperate with one another to permit the tool to adjustably navigate within the internal volume to access the protected sprinkler for installation or adjustment of the sprinkler frame and/or for removing the protective cap.

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.

Sprinkler Head
A cylindrical portion forms, at a first holding position, a first airflow path in which a communication portion open to a lower end of the body serves as a first introduction port for the outside air and in which a missing portion lacking a portion of a surrounding wall of the cylindrical portion serves as, by overlapping a slit open to an outer peripheral surface of the body, a first exit through which the outside air flowed in the body is discharged to above the ceiling, and forms, at a second holding position, a second airflow path in which a gap formed between an escutcheon and a heat collector projecting from the lower end of the body serves as a second introduction port for the outside air and in which the missing portion serves as a second exit through which the outside air is discharged to above the ceiling.

ADJUSTABLE DEFLECTOR TO FLOOR SPRINKLER ADAPTER FOR SLOPED CEILING
A fire suppression system includes a pipe system in communication with a fluid supply, a connector, at least one adapter pipe, and a sprinkler. The pipe system includes a first pipe and a second pipe that define a fluid supply axis oriented at an angle relative to a floor below the first pipe and the second pipe. The connector includes a connector inlet engaged with the first pipe, a connector outlet engaged with the second pipe, and an adapter outlet in communication with the connector inlet and the connector outlet. The at least one adapter pipe is engaged with the adapter outlet of the connector. The sprinkler is coupled with the at least one adapter pipe such that a spray pattern of fluid outputted by the sprinkler is oriented to correspond with a target orientation of the spray pattern.
