About this asset

This fire sprinkler with cage is a Revit family featuring a protective wire guard, designed for ceiling-mounted fire suppression. The assembly consists of a standard upright or pendant fire sprinkler head enclosed within a protective wire cage. The cage is constructed from thin vertical metal rods that converge at the base to shield the sprinkler nozzle from physical impact. A circular mounting plate sits at the top, providing a flush connection point for ceiling integration. The geometry is simplified for efficient BIM modeling, focusing on the essential silhouette of the sprinkler head and the surrounding protective frame, making it suitable for coordinated fire protection plans and reflected ceiling layouts.

The download is a 584 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

This Revit family is designed for insertion into ceiling-hosted projects. Once loaded into the model, it can be placed along fire suppression piping runs. Users should ensure the family is correctly mapped to the project's fire protection pipework systems to maintain connectivity. The model uses standard Revit line-based geometry, allowing for clear visibility in both 2D floor plans and 3D coordination views without overloading the project file size during design development or construction documentation phases.

Essential for MEP engineers and architects working on commercial, industrial, or high-density residential projects where fire suppression systems are required in exposed areas. It is frequently specified for garages, warehouses, and storage facilities where the sprinkler heads are vulnerable to accidental damage. Professionals searching for this asset will typically look for fire safety components, ceiling-mounted protection, or MEP equipment families to populate their life-safety models and ensure compliance with building regulations regarding fire protection and building services coordination.
