  • Automatic water shut off valve
    Patent number: 5857487
    Abstract: A valve is formed by an intersection of an open ended water supply pipe and a sprinkler outlet pipe. The outlet pipe has a closed end and an outlet end that is adapted for connection to a sprinkler. A cylindrical guide post connected to the closed end extends through the intersection to a proximal portion of the outlet end. A guide assembly is slidably disposed over the guide post. In response to an excessive flow of water through the outlet end, the guide assembly is drawn through the intersection to occlude the outlet end.
