1-20. (canceled)
A sprinkler, comprising:
- a monolithic body made of a polymeric material, the body comprising an internal passageway extending from an inlet to an orifice, the internal passageway defining a longitudinal axis;
- a first frame arm extending from the body;
- a second frame arm extending from the body, the first frame arm and the second frame arm each parallel with the longitudinal axis and comprising reinforcing fibers that are aligned within five degrees of parallel with the longitudinal axis;
- and
- a connector member comprising a first end that extends from the first frame arm, a second end that extends from the second frame arm, and a sidewall that extends between the first end and the second end.
