ESCRIPTION AND
The Globe Quick Response GL8109 Extended Coverage Pendent
Sprinkler for Light Hazard occupancies is a low profi le yet durable
design which utilizes a 3mm frangible glass ampule as the thermo-
sensitive 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 specifi 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 accordance with their listings and in accordance with
NFPA 13.
The heart of Globe's Series GL-QR 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.
