A fusible mechanical linkage includes a tensioner having an aperture and a spool with guides arranged on an end of the spool opposite the aperture. The guides define a cable seat between one another. A fusible alloy is arranged between the spool and the tensioner, the fusible alloy fixing the spool to the tensioner below a predetermined temperature, the fusible alloy allowing tension carried by an actuation cable received in the cable seat to rotate the spool relative to the tensioner above the predetermined temperature. Fire suppression systems and methods adjusting actuation cables in fire suppression systems are described.

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, the first side of the cover plate having the first layer of metal directly facing, in its entirety, 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 of metal facing the concealed fire protection sprinkler is more thermally conductive than is the second layer.

An apparatus is disclosed for extinguishing a stovetop fire over a stovetop having a first burner, the apparatus including a container detachably mountable to a microwave positioned above the stove top. A supply of fire suppressant material is retained within the container. A heat responsive actuator is disposed on the container. When the container is mounted to the microwave over the first burner, and the fire actuates the heat responsive actuator, at least a portion of the supply of fire suppressant material falls from the container toward the first burner.

System and methods using automatic fire protection sprinklers to provide ceiling-only fire protection of rack storage. The systems and methods provide for hydraulic and system parameters that include a hydraulic design area based upon five to no more than twelve hydraulically most remote fire protection sprinklers with a prescribed hybrid minimum design pressure.

A sprinkler head includes a main body having, thereinside, a nozzle connected to a water supply pipe, a deflector having a disk shape with a plurality of slits in an edge portion, where the deflector is disposed so as to intersect with a central axis of the nozzle, and a support member configured to connect the main body to the deflector. A circular arc shaped first convex portion is formed in a direction from the center of the deflector to a position obtained by rotating the position of the support member by 90 degrees around the center, circular arc shaped first slits are disposed on either side of the convex portion, and the shape of a portion from one of the first slits to the other via the first convex portion is corrugated.

Fire protection sprinkler assemblies and methods thereof having thermally responsive glass bulb trigger arrangements for suppression mode fast response fire protection in which the glass bulb trigger arrangements provide a consistent thermal response.

A fire protection nozzle includes a body having two frame arms having proximal ends connected to an outlet of the body, and distal ends, the two frame arms defining a frame arm plane, and a junction formed by the distal ends of the frame arms, the junction including a central bore and an outer wall. A deflector is mounted to the body, and includes a planar member having a mounting hole in a center of the planar member to receive the outer wall of the junction, and a plurality of slots on a periphery of the planar member. The plurality of slots includes first slots, second slots, third slots, and fourth slots.
