Abstract
A dry fire protection sprinkler assembly. The sprinkler assembly includes an elongate tubular outer housing having a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The second end of the housing defines a fluid discharge end of the sprinkler assembly having an outlet opening. A fluid deflection member is affixed to the housing at a preferably fixed distance from the outlet opening. The sprinkler assembly and the fluid deflection member define an unencumbered fluid flow path for a column of fluid discharge from the outlet opening. The fluid deflection member includes at least one tab to act on the unencumbered column of fluid discharge.
