ESCRIPTION AND
The Globe Model GL3010 Residential Sprinkler has a low profi le
yet durable design, which utilizes a 3mm frangible glass ampule
as the thermosensitive element. It features economy, aesthetics
and low fl ow.
The combination of the 3mm frangible glass ampule and spe-
cially designed defl ector makes the Model GL3010 Residential
Sprinkler the ultimate in life safety and fi re control. This Globe
Pendent and Recessed Pendent Residential Sprinkler has met the
strict requirements of Underwriters Laboratories Inc. as described
in the UL Standard for Residential Sprinklers for Fire Protection
Service, UL 1626, and should be used accordingly. This sprinkler
should also be installed in accordance with the appropriate NFPA
Standard 13, 13D or 13R and under the direction of the approving
authorities having jurisdiction.
The heart of Globe's Model GL3010 sprinkler proven actuating as-
sembly is a hermetically sealed frangible glass ampule that contains
a precisely measured amount of fl uid. When heat is absorbed, the
liquid within the bulb expands increasing the internal 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 distributed in an approved pattern.
The sprinkler and escutcheon are not factory assembled.
Assembly is done in the fi eld.
