A method of providing fire protection for an outdoor area, comprising:

• providing a dry pendent sprinkler assembly, the dry pendent sprinkler assembly including a body portion, a sprinkler head portion, and a deflector portion;
• securing, via the body portion, the dry pendent sprinkler assembly with a feed line, the feed line disposed on an opposite side of an exterior wall relative to the sprinkler head portion, and the feed line including a fire protection fluid;
• coupling the dry pendent sprinkler assembly with the exterior wall through a sealing assembly, the sealing assembly disposed entirely on the opposite side of the exterior wall and comprising a flanged escutcheon, the flanged escutcheon including:
• a minimum angle defined by a smallest angle of the body portion within the exterior wall relative to an opposite side of the flanged escutcheon relative to the sprinkler head portion, the minimum angle defining no more than 35 degrees;
• and
• a maximum angle defined a largest angle of the body portion within the exterior wall relative to an opposite side of the flanged escutcheon relative to the sprinkler head portion, the maximum angle defining no less than 145 degrees;
• wherein the flanged escutcheon rigidly couples the body portion with the exterior wall;
• disposing the body portion to protrude from the exterior wall at an angle of at least 55 degrees relative to a structure disposed above the body portion that extends laterally away from the exterior wall and that protrudes into the outdoor area from the exterior wall;
• and
• the dry pendent sprinkler assembly to expel the fire protection fluid to cover the outdoor area, the outdoor area having a width of at least 10 feet.
