automatic sprinkler
Ceiling-mounted fire defense
An automatic sprinkler is a fire-suppression device that activates when heat reaches a certain threshold, releasing water through a network of ceiling-mounted heads.
The term distinguishes these systems from manual fire suppression or from lawn sprinklers that run on timers: The building code requires automatic sprinklers in all new construction.
