Side Wall Sprinkler

   It’s probably easy to figure out where a sidewall fire sprinkler is meant to be installed. They protrude through the wall and basically only have half of a deflector, which sprays water in a half circle or crescent shape.   

They’re designed to protect small rooms, hallways, and other areas where sprinkler pipes are running up walls but not in the ceiling. You’ve probably seen one in a hotel room, where they are most commonly found. They are designed to be installed on the wall, instead of in the ceiling, along or under a beam. However, sidewall sprinklers perform the same basic functions as other fire sprinklers.
