FIRE PROTECTION SPRINKLER ASSEMBLY

摘要

A sprinkler assembly (10) includes a (plastic) sprinkler frame (12) and a deflector assembly (30) circumferentially disposed about the sprinkler frame. The deflector assembly includes a receiver portion (32), a deflector member (34), and at least one extension member (36) to space the deflector member from the receiver portion. The at least one extension member is peripheral with respect to the receiver portion and the deflector member. The sprinkler assembly can be configured with the deflector assembly translating with respect to the sprinkler frame. Alternatively, the deflector assembly can be fixed with respect to the sprinkler frame.
