Upright Sprinkler

An upright sprinkler, as its name implies, stands atop the pipeline.  An upright sprinkler, however, comes with a water deflector at the top so that water coming out of the orifice shoots upward and then spreads in a circular pattern.Upright sprinklers, used mostly in warehouses or large structural buildings, do not hide behind the ceiling. Upright sprinklers are used mostly in places where obstructions may block water spray during a fire, and their height allows them to aim water around possible obstacles. One downside is that the pipeline in an upright sprinkler can become an obstacle in itself to effective water flow coverage during operation.
