Abstract
A sprinkler assembly protector including a receptacle for receiving a sprinkler assembly and a lid for covering the receptacle. The receptacle includes a base and at least one sidewall together defining an internal space. The sidewall has sidewall punchouts for making small openings in the sidewalls, and concentric tearing-facilitating sections for enlarging the openings to allow a water supply line to pass through the sidewalls into the internal space. The lid has a lid opening for allowing the sprinkler assembly to pass through. The lid can be formed with tearing-facilitating sections to facilitate enlarging the lid opening. Drainage holes can be formed on the base and/or a bottom portion of the sidewall to prevent water from accumulating inside the receptacle.

A sprinkler assembly protector, comprising:
- a receptacle for receiving a sprinkler assembly therein, the receptacle including a base and sidewalls defining an internal space formed by the base and sidewalls, the sidewalls having sidewall punch outs for making small holes in the sidewalls and concentric tearing-facilitating sections for enlarging the holes to allow a water supply line to pass through the sidewalls into the internal space, wherein the receptacle comprises drainage holes formed on the base and/or at a bottom portion of the sidewalls proximate the base, and wherein the receptacle is sized to leave enough clearance to fit a replacement sprinkler between the sprinkler assembly and the sidewalls;
- and
- a lid for covering the receptacle, the lid having a lid opening for allowing the sprinkler assembly to pass through, wherein the lid comprises tearing-facilitating sections to facilitate enlarging the lid opening.
