This provides sprinkler operation <br />approximately 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 <br />assembly is a hermetically sealed frangible glass ampule that contains <br />a precisely measured amount offluid. 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. <br />The sprinkler and escutcheon are not factory assembled. As- <br />sembly is done in the field. <br /> <br />TECHNICAL DATA <br />1 See reverse side for Approvals and Specifications. <br />l Temperature Ratings -1350F (5rC), 1550F (680C) , 1750F (790C), <br />2000F (930C) , 2860F (141 oc). <br />, Water Working Pressure Rating -175 psi ( 12 Bars). <br />· Factory tested hydrostatically to 500 psi (34 Bars). <br />,.
