It is a device that protects the nozzles of an automatic sprinkler fire extinguishing system from accidental impact, damage or contamination.
It serves both functional and aesthetic purposes. Functionally, the escutcheon plate helps protect the sprinkler head from physical damage and tampering. Aesthetically, it can be designed to blend in with the surrounding décor or contribute to the overall design scheme of a room or building.
No part of the shield plate can block the thermal sensitive elements (such as glass balls) or splash pans of the sprinkler heads. It is necessary to ensure that the heat can reach the thermal sensitive elements smoothly during a fire and that the water flow is not obstructed. The retractable shield must ensure that it can be reliably detached in case of fire.
