Sprinkler

A sprinkler comprises a sprinkler head and a hollow body having an inlet and a first outlet, the first outlet being in fluid communication with the inlet and the sprinkler head being connected to the first outlet, the inlet having an inlet axial orientation which is perpendicular to a first outlet axial orientation of the first outlet and the sprinkler head extending above the first outlet in a first axial direction of the first outlet axial orientation, the sprinkler further comprising two or more sprinkler head protection elements located on opposite sides of the sprinkler head and extending above the sprinkler head in the first axial direction;

• wherein the sprinkler head protection elements are wheels each located on opposite sides of the hollow body and each having axes in a common plane perpendicular to the inlet axial orientation;
• and
• wherein the wheels are angled relative to one another with respect to the first axial direction such that the wheels are closer together on an upper side of the periphery of the wheels which extend above the sprinkler head in the first axial direction and further apart on an opposite lower side of the periphery of the wheels relative to the upper side of the periphery of the wheels.
