A concealed sprinkler includes a sprinkler body having a flow passage therethrough with an inlet end and an outlet end. A closure device is secured at the outlet end of the flow passage by a heat responsive trigger. A deflector assembly includes a deflector plate and a button secured to an upstream side of the deflector plate. The deflector assembly is movably supported to the sprinkler body by at least one arm. The button defines an aperture that extends unobstructed all the way through the button from an upstream side to a downstream side.

Concealed horizontal sidewall sprinkler

Institutional sprinkler assemblies are provided that includes a sprinkler housing and protective cap arrangement to protect a thermally responsive shielding trigger. The sprinkler housing and trigger arrangement provide for an annular buffer to protect the trigger. The institutional sprinkler assemblies include configurations for installation in pendent and horizontal and orientations.

Institutional sprinklers and installation assemblies

Fire protection sprinkler

A protective cover for a fire protection sprinkler includes a pair of sidewalls and an orthogonal wall structure connected to an upper edge of each of the pair of sidewalls. The orthogonal wall structure including a slot therein that opens along an edge of the orthogonal wall structure in alignment with an opening between the pair of sidewalls. The slot including a pair of side edges including a pair of opposing arcuate regions adapted to engage a deflector mounting boss of a fire protection sprinkler. An arcuate sidewall extends from the orthogonal wall structure and an upper wall extending inward from an upper edge of the arcuate sidewall and opposing the orthogonal wall structure to define a cavity that is adapted for receiving a deflector of a fire protection sprinkler.

Push on/pull off protective cap for fire protection sprinklers

A shipping cap for a sprinkler includes a main body having a hollow annular wall portion having a closed upper end. A first pair of side legs extend laterally and axially from a first side of the cylindrical wall portion and a second pair of side legs extend laterally from a second side of the cylindrical wall portion. A first side curtain extends from one of the first pair of side legs and one of the second pair of side legs and a second side curtain extends from the other of the first pair of side legs and the other of the second pair of side legs.

An installation tool may include an extension member, a body portion disposed on the extension member, and a plurality of fingers flexibly protruding from the body portion. The plurality of fingers are adapted to releasably engage a cover assembly. The plurality of fingers and the body portion cooperate to retain the cover assembly in a first direction and allow disengagement of the cover assembly in a second direction.

Cover installation tool

A system for thoroughly spraying buildings with a pesticide. A truck carries a tank of liquid pesticide, a hose on a reel and a pump for pumping pesticide into the hose. A cart including a tube having a first end for connection to the hose and a second end carrying one or more spray heads is placed at the far end of a building with the hose extending the length of the building and out a door to the truck. The tube is mounted on at least two wheels, with a sled member supporting the end of the tube adjacent to the hose connection. The spray heads produce a pattern in approximately a vertical plane perpendicular to the length of the tube and hose. As the hose is reeled up, the cart is pulled across the floor of the building, with the fan-like spray pattern fully treating the building interior.
