Which sprinkler head design is used for high ceilings?

The choice of upright heads for high ceilings is based on their unique design, which allows them to efficiently distribute water in a vertical direction. This distribution is crucial in areas with elevated ceilings, as it ensures that water can effectively reach the floor level, where it is most needed to suppress a fire. Upright heads are mounted to the top of a piping system, with the orifice facing upwards, allowing water to spread outwards in a conical pattern once activated.

Using upright heads in environments with high ceilings is beneficial because they can cover a larger area due to their strategic placement and the way they disperse water. This helps optimize the performance of a fire suppression system, ensuring that fire is quickly and effectively controlled, even in larger spaces where other designs might be less effective.
