PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sprinkler assembly that is adapted to reduce energy and hence head loss of a fluid when it flows out. SOLUTION: The sprinkler assembly 10 includes a body 12, a support 13 which extends from the body, and a closure device 39 that releasably closes the discharge opening 20 of the body. The sprinkler assembly further includes a trigger 36 that releasably holds the closure device at the discharge opening. The support is designed to allow the fluid flowing from the discharge opening, when the closure device is released, to pass through the support substantially unimpeded by the support and, further, is designed to reshape the flow of fluid when it flows through the support.
