A sprinkler button includes a body and a wall extending from the body. The body includes a ridge and one or more cavities defined by the ridge and extending into the body. The body defines a hollow chamber on an opposite side of the body from the one or more cavities. The wall includes one or more tabs.

A sprinkler with a push-in connection includes a sprinkler frame, an operating element, and a sealing cap. The sprinkler also includes one or more sealing gaskets and a retainer. Each such sealing gasket is located at least partially within a groove in the sprinkler frame. The retainer is also at least partially located within a groove in the sprinkler frame. The retainer connects to the internal bore of a welded outlet or a mechanical outlet when the sprinkler is installed in the outlet. The one or more gaskets seal against the internal bore of a welded outlet or a mechanical outlet when the sprinkler is installed in the outlet. The retainer is a spring mechanism so that the diameter of the retainer is reduced when the sprinkler is inserted into the internal bore of the outlet, and the retainer maintains pressure against the outlet internal bore.

An automatic fire protection sprinkler assembly for fire protection systems that includes a tubular outer housing having an inlet, an outlet opening and an internal shelf proximate the outlet opening. A fluid deflection member is spaced from the outlet opening along a fluid flow path of the assembly. A fluid control assembly is disposed within the outer housing for axial translation from an unactuated state to an actuated state of the sprinkler assembly. The fluid control assembly includes a seal subassembly, a fluid flow tube; and an ejectable support subassembly. The support subassembly includes a projection member. Upon actuation of a thermally responsive trigger, the support subassembly is ejected out the outlet opening such that the projection member comes into contact with the internal shelf of the housing to pivot the support subassembly out of the fluid flow path.

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.

A sprinkler includes a body, a button, and a spring. The body includes an opening and a shoulder arranged around a sprinkler axis. The spring including an aperture that receives the button, a first spring surface, and a second spring surface. At least one of (i) the shoulder includes a first extension that contacts the first spring surface and (ii) the button includes a second extension that contacts the second spring surface.

A fire suppression sprinkler adapted to receive arcuate surfaces of a grooved coupling is retainable to the coupling in a pre-assembled state. The coupling joins the sprinkler in facing axial end to end relation directly to grooved pipe. The sprinkler has a monolithic body which defines a bore having an inlet and an outlet. A groove, positioned between the inlet and the outlet extends around the body. A projection, positioned between the groove and the outlet also extends around the body.
