ABSTRACT:
An automatic fire sprinkler device for fluidly connecting to a water system of a fire sprinkler, including: (a) a housing having an inlet for fluidly connecting with the water system, and an outlet for fluidly connecting with a discharge unit having a deflector for dispersing water within a water coverage area; (b) a plug, operatively associated with the housing, having a stand-by position and an activated position, such that in the stand-by position, the plug is positioned to obstruct a flow of the water from the water system, and such that in the activated position, the plug is positioned to allow the water to flow from the water system to the discharge unit, and (c) a submerged thermally sensitive element, responsive to a pre-determined temperature and operatively connected to the plug, for triggering the plug into the activated position when a temperature of an environment reaches the pre-determined temperature, so as to allow the water flow.
