ESCRIPTION AND
The Globe Quick Response GL5614 Extended Coverage Pen-
dent Sprinkler for Light Hazard occupancies is a low profi 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 ap-
pearance, it can be installed wherever standard light hazard ex-
tended coverage pendent sprinklers are specifi ed; but offers the
additional feature of greatly increased safety to life. Quick Re-
sponse Sprinklers should be used advisedly and under the direc-
tion of approving authorities having jurisdiction, in accordance with
their listings and in accordance with NFPA 13.
The heart of Globe's Series GL-QR sprinkler proven actu-
ating assembly 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 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.
