ABSTRACT:
An adapter (20) is mountable to a valve assembly (94) of a conventional fire extinguisher (22) to form a portable automatic fire extinguisher (25). The adapter (20) comprises a coupling (26) which is mountable to the valve assembly (94), an elongate conduit (28), and an automatic sprinkler head (24). When the adapter (20) is mounted to the fire extinguisher (22), the sprinkler head (24) is placed in fluid communication with the fire extinguisher (22) and is locatable adjacent a ceiling of a room. If a fire occurs in the room, the automatic sprinkler head (24) releases fluid from the fire extinguisher (25) onto the floor of the room. An insert (130) mountable within the automatic sprinkler head (24) has a passageway (156, 158) extending therethrough which directs the spray of fluid passing through the automatic sprinkler head away from the longitudinal axis of the sprinkler head (24).
