A water containment and drainage device for activated sprinkler heads to limit the water damage to the buildings containing such fire or accident activated sprinkler heads. The device comprises of a sprinkler head receiving and water container portion, a drainage portion and a positioning apparatus. The sprinkler head receiving and water container portion comprises of a flexible, non-collapsible, fully posable tube whose interior forms a water receptacle area. An open end of the tube reversibly receives the activated sprinkler head into a water receptacle area formed by the interior of the tube. The other end of the tube is connected to one end of the drainage portion which comprises of a non-collapsible hose of determined length so that the water receptacle area and the interior of the hose are in continuous union. Both the diameters of the water receptacle area and the hose are of sufficient size to accommodate the containment and drainage of the water emanating from the activated sprinkler head without a resulting buildup of water pressure. The other end of the hose is remotely located from the sprinkler head to an area suitable for the reception of the water emitted form the activated sprinkler head. The positioning apparatus which the operator uses to place and secure the device over the activated sprinkler comprises long handled two prong fork wherein the prongs of the fork are moveably connected to the tube so the tube can pivot between prongs to assist the proper positioning of the tube relative to that of the activated sprinkler head. |
