Abrégé

A sprinkler system for a temporary chute used for disposal of construction materials during a construction or renovation project. The sprinkler system is releasably engaged with the temporary chute and is used to control dust within the chute, wash down the chute, and extinguish fires. A housing of the sprinkler system is releasably engaged with an intake hopper of the chute, placing an interior chamber of the housing in fluid communication with the chutes' tunnel. First and second sprinkler heads are located within the interior chamber. The first sprinkler head is temperature sensitive and automatically actuated when a threshold temperature is crossed. The second sprinkler head is manually activated by an operator to spray liquid into the tunnel to control dust or wash the interior surfaces of the chute. The sprinkler system and temporary chute are disengaged from the building once the construction or renovation project is completed.

A transition frame and a chute system incorporating the same. The frame includes two first chain connectors and three second chain connectors which are positioned in different configurations on the frame. The frame defines a central opening through which at least a portion of a chute section is receivable. The first and second chain connectors allow chains to be attached to the transition frame to connect the chute to a support system or to connect different types of chute sections together. If the chute is formed from a plurality of molded sections and rolled sections, the frame can be oriented in such a manner so as to allow at least two chains to extend between the frame and the molded sections and at least three chains to extend between the frame and the rolled sections. The frame can be inverted as required to allow the molded sections to be positioned above or below the rolled sections. The frame can also be utilized to connect support chains between a support system and a column of rolled sections only or molded sections only.
