This provides sprinkler operation ap- �� �� <br /> proximately six times faster than ordinary sprinklers. At the <br /> ampule's rated temperature, the sprinkler opens releasing the �„��_ � <br /> bulb seat, causing the inner tube assembly to move, allowing the <br /> spring assembly to pivot alongside the inner tube. At this time, �m�=�� <br /> waterflows through the sprinkler and is distributed by the deflector �-�_��;y ;��; <br /> in an approved discharge pattern. It can be installed wherever {— A ;;' -'!, <br /> standard spray sprinklers are specified but offers the additional �i., ��� ; <br /> feature of greatly increased safety to life. Quick Response <br /> Sprinklers should be used advisedly and under the direction of -r��- ���- <br /> approving authorities having jurisdiction. suRFACE SLEEVE <br /> The heart of Globe's Model GL Series sprinkler proven actu- MouNT 8 SKIRT <br /> ating assembly is a hermetically sealed frangible glass ampule <br /> that contains a precisely measured amountoffluid. When heat is <br /> absorbed, the liquid within the bulb expands increasing the <br /> internal pressure. At the prescribed temperature the internal <br /> pressure within the ampule exceeds the strength of the glass -� , <br /> causing the glass to shatter. This results in water discharge which ; = <br /> is distributed in an approved pattern. __ _ ��� <br /> TECHNICAL DATA � � ' <br /> See reverse side for Approvals and Specifications. ��. .�' �.r <br /> Temperature Ratings - 135°F (57°C), 155°F (68°C), 175°F ' - � - <br /> (79°C), 200°F (93°C), 286°F (141 °C) `_-�� ` � <br /> � _.� <br /> Water Working Pressure Rating - 175 psi (12 Bars) �`r� ,� �-- - <br /> ,�- ,;. <br /> Factory tested hydrostatically to 500 psi (34 Bars) -' � , <br /> Maximum low temperature glass bulb rating is -67°F (-55°C) �� �� <br /> Frame - bronze Deflector - brass Screw - brass � Bulb EXTENDED RECESSED <br /> seat - brass Spring - teflon coated nickel alloy �� Retainer - brass <br /> Pin - stainless steel Torsion spring - stainless steel � Bulb - glass <br /> with alcohol based solution, 3mm Orifice insert - brass � 3/4" NPT or <br /> 1" NPT Outer tube - galvanized steel pipe � Inner tube stainless steel <br /> SPR/NKLER TEMPERATURE RATING/CLASSIFICATION and COLOR CODING <br /> CLASSIFICATION AVAILABLE BULB N.F.P.A.
