The Globe Quick Response Model GL5614 Extended
Coverage Pendent Sprinkler for Light Hazard occupancies is a
low pro le yet durable design which utilizes a 3mm frangible
glass
ampule as the thermosensitive element. This provides
sprinkler
operation approximately six times faster than ordinary
sprinklers.
While this Quick Response Sprinkler provides an
aesthetically
pleasing appearance, it can be installed wherever standard
light
hazard extended coverage pendent sprinklers are speci ed;
but
offers the additional feature of greatly increased safety to
life.
Quick Response Sprinklers should be used advisedly and under
the direction of approving authorities having jurisdiction, in
accor-
dance with their listings and in accordance with NFPA 13.
The heart of Globe's GL Series sprinkler proven actuating
assembly is a hermetically sealed frangible glass ampule
that
contains a precisely measured amount of uid. When heat is
absorbed, the liquid within the bulb expands increasing the
inter-
nal pressure. At the prescribed temperature the internal
pressure
within the ampule exceeds the strength of the glass causing
the
glass to shatter. This results in water discharge which is
distrib-
uted in an approved pattern.
