ABSTRACT:
A fire extinguisher sprinkler head construction has a fitting adapted to be coupled to a water line and having a passage therein through which water may flow and impinge upon a deflector. The water passage normally is sealed by a closure and a collapsible strut, the latter including a eutectic member which liquifies upon reaching a predetermined temperature. The eutectic member is sandwiched between a pair of thermally insulating members, also forming part of the strut, and is engaged by a thermally conductive member which functions as a heat collector.
