Missing cap on ceiling sprinkler

Home Improvement Asked by rgcb on March 12, 2021

I found this sprinkler head in the ceiling of my new place with a cover cap missing – later I found the cap in a drawer.

How would I go about replacing this? Is there a way to attach the original cap? Do I need to get a professional to take a look? I’m afraid of accidentally setting the sprinkler off.

I was in total agreement with Ecnerwal, that those bumps were to hold it in wall board. Finding this picture tells a different story: (notice the bumps and the threaded insert)

My best guess is that up in the ceiling somewhere, is the rest of the part; those bumps thread into it, or you can just push (see, 4.a). Be gentle with it, those are 50 bucks.

Again, I agree with E, don't touch it unless you own the building. Even then, you might want to call in whomever has the service contract for it.
