Sprinkler system:
A system of protecting a building against fire by causing an automatic discharge of
water, usually from pipes near the ceiling.

Upright sprinkler:
Upright sprinkler is installed at the top of pipeline.it comes with an upper
water deflector, so water coming out of the orifice shoots upward and then
spreads in a circular pattern.
Upright sprinkler is suited for areas that are difficult to access, like around
beams, ducts and building and exposed ceiling.
