Abstract

A side wall sprinkler head including a body defining an outlet to be connected to a water line. A pair of arms extend outwardly from the body and are disposed in a common horizontal plane and the ends of the arms are connected at a junction. A cap encloses the outlet in the body and a releasable link interconnects the cap and the junction. When the sprinkler head is exposed to an elevated temperature the link will release the cap permitting water to be discharged from the outlet. The water is distributed in a desired pattern by a deflector which is connected to the junction. The deflector includes a first vertical section and the upper edge of the vertical section is connected via a reverse bend to a horizontal deflector plate. A central tine extends downwardly from the lower edge of the vertical section and a pair of outer tines are disposed on opposite sides of the central tine and extend diagonally downward from the lower edge of the vertical section. The reverse bend is provided with an elongated horizontal aperture, while the vertical section is formed with a pair of horizontally elongated holes which are spaced above the respective outer tines.
