Description
The Model GB-LO 17/32
Horizontal Sidewall Automatic
Sprinklers allow extended coverage
spacing while avoiding high pressure
requirements. The operating
mechanism consists of a liquid-filled
3 mm or 5 mm diameter frangible
glass bulb. The result of these
design features is a small, attractive
sprinkler that provides extended
areas of coverage with reasonable
pressure requirements.
The Model GB-LO 17/32
Horizontal Sidewall Automatic
Sprinklers are intended for installation
in accordance with current NFPA 13
and their Extended Coverage and
Quick Response Extended Coverage
Listing* parameters. They are ideally
suited for use in churches, clubs,
schools, hospitals, offices, hotels,
restaurants, auditoriums and similar
occupancies. They are available in
one orifice size, two temperature
ratings, two bulb sizes, and three
standard finishes; chrome plated,
brass plated and white painted.
Operation: The glass bulb capsule
operating mechanism contains a heat
sensitive liquid that expands upon
application of heat. At the rated
temperature, the frangible capsule
ruptures, thereby releasing the orifice
seal. The sprinkler then discharges
water in a pre-designed spray pattern
to control or extinguish the fire.
*For specific listing requirements see the appropriate
information contained in this brochure.
