  • Exterior fire suppression system and method for installation
    Patent number: 6964379
    Abstract: An exterior fire suppression system includes a sprinkler system that is connected to a water supply. The sprinkler system is mounted within the structure and is substantially hidden from view when the system is inactive. 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.
