QUICK RESPONSE <br /> AUTOMATIC SPRINKLERS <br /> ■' " GL SERIES <br /> UPRIGHT• PENDENT <br /> HKC rKINUL 4Orymi in VERTICAL SIDEWALL <br /> HORIZONTAL SIDEWALL <br /> DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION CONVENTIONAL (OLD STYLE) <br /> The Globe Quick Response GL Series Sprinklers are a low profile <br /> yet durable design which utilizes a 3mm frangible glass ampule as the <br /> thermosensitive element. This provides sprinkler operation approxi- <br /> mately six times faster than ordinary sprinklers. While the Quick <br /> Response Sprinkler provides an aesthetically pleasing appearance, it <br /> can be installed wherever standard spray sprinklers are specified when <br /> allowed by the applicable standards. It offers the additional feature of <br /> greatly increased safety to life and is available in various styles,orifices, <br /> temperature ratings and finishes to meet many varying design require- ` <br /> ments. Quick Response Sprinklers should be used advisedly and under _ <br /> the direction of approving authorities having jurisdiction. <br /> The heart of Globe's GL Series sprinkler proven actuating QUICK RESPONSE <br /> assembly is a hermetically sealed frangible glass ampule that contains UPRIGHT CONVENTIONAL <br /> a precisely measured amount of fluid. When heat is absorbed,the liquid <br /> within the bulb expands increasing the internal pressure. At the <br /> prescribed temperature the internal pressure within the ampule exceeds <br /> the strength of the glass causing the glass to shatter. This results in <br /> water discharge which is distributed in an approved pattern depending , <br /> upon the deflector style used. 1 <br /> The sprinkler and escutcheon are not factory assembled. As- <br /> sembly is done in the field. <br /> TECHNICAL DATA QUICK RESPONSE <br /> •See reverse side for Approvals and Specifications.
