Abstract
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.
