A fire sprinkler nozzle is a key component in fire protection systems, designed to discharge water or fire retardant over a designated area in the event of a fire. These nozzles are connected to the fire sprinkler system and are activated when a certain temperature is reached, dispersing water in a uniform pattern to suppress the fire. Fire sprinkler nozzles come in various types, including pendent, upright, and sidewall nozzles, depending on the installation needs. They must meet NFPA 13 and SASO 2250 standards for quality, performance, and safety.
