Subject: RE: Attachment on a Sidewall Sprinkler

I think what you've got there is a Star sprinkler from the 70's or so, before 
the development of the first residential sprinklers and the fast response link. 

It was early attempt to make a quick response sprinkler. The linkage was a 
standard response but the thing beside it is a squib that (as I understand it) 
is supposed to send an hot electric arc to the link to cause it to melt 
out/actuate quickly.

I only every saw them on one installation and I was once told that handling 
them should be like handling explosives, because an accident with that squib 
could do some harm.

Subject: Attachment on a Sidewall Sprinkler

Hello Forum,

A coworker took a picture of a sidewall sprinkler with a funky attachment on 
it. I'm hoping someone knows what it is because we have been unable to find it 
online.
