Quick Response Sprinklers should be used advisedly UPRIGHT CONVENTIONAL <br />and under the direction of approving authorities having jurisdiction. <br />The heart of Globe's GL Series sprinkler proven actuating <br />assembly is a hermetically seated frangible glass ampule that contains <br />a precisely measured amount of fluid When heat Is absorbed, the lt(r <br />liquid within the bulb expands increasing the internal pressure. At the <br />prescribed temperature the internal pressure within the ampule ex- <br />ceeds the strength of the glass causing the glass to shatter. This results UU <br />in water discharge which is distributed in an approved pattern depend <br />...... <br />.-. s.•vs: �� <br />Ing upon the deflector style used <br />QUICK RESPONSE <br />TECHNICAL DATA PENDENT VERTICAL <br />oSee reverse side for Approvals and Specifications.
