Retrofit Self-Annunciating Sprinkler

摘要

A water-powered residential fire suppression and alarm system is provided. The system comprises a sprinkler head, a water-powered alarm, a fire-resistant transfer line assembly, and a housing assembly. The sprinkler activates upon excessive heat. The transfer line assembly provides an unclosable channel connecting an existing residential water fixture with the sprinkler head. The transfer line assembly includes a fire-resistant transfer line connected to a multi-port coupling which connects to the existing water fixture. The transfer line assembly also provides water to the alarm. The housing assembly has a housing with a vertical span of about 3-12 inches. The sprinkler head and alarm are mounted to the housing assembly and the transfer line assembly is connected to the housing assembly. When water is provided to the coupling and the sprinkler head activates, water flows through the transfer line, activating the alarm.
