The system may include roof sprinklers and eave sprinklers that are adapted to saturate the exterior of the structure when the system is activated. Each roof sprinkler is a popup sprinkler installed within a facade that is an aesthetic match with the structure's roof and may be installed within a sprinkler box underneath the roofline. Each eave sprinkler is installed within the eave, substantially hidden from view. A heat sensor may be disposed adjacent to the eave sprinkler and connected to an electronic control to activate the system when excessive heat is detected.Field of SearchBuilding featuresElevating means responsive to flow of spray fluid With spring assisted retraction With sprinkler head elevating means APPARATUS WHICH ISOLATES FLAMES FROM NON-BURNING AREA With means to isolate fire from atmosphere and extinguish Condition responsive control Distributing systems Hand controls | |
