GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The series GL-RES pendent sprinklers are decorative fast
response glass bulb sprinklers specically tested and List-
ed for use in residential applications such as homes, apart-
ments, hotels, and dormitories to provide control of these
residential type res and to improve the chance for occu-
pants to escape. They utilize a 3mm frangible glass bulb as
its heat sensing operating element. The recessed version
of each of these Residential Sprinklers is intended for use
in areas with nished ceilings. It employs a two-piece Re-
cessed Escutcheon. The Recessed Escutcheon provides a
total adjustment of 1/2 inch (12.7mm) from the ush ceiling
position or ±1/4 inch (6.4mm) of recessed adjustment. The
adjustment provided by the Recessed Escutcheon reduces
the accuracy to which the pipe drops to the sprinklers must
be cut.
This sprinkler may be installed within dwelling occupancies
as allowed by NFPA 13, 13D, 13R and any other related
documents as appropriate.
The GL3010 is typically utilized when maximum coverag-
es are not needed, thereby reducing ow demands. The
GL5610 is typically the sprinkler of choice when utilizing
Residential Sprinklers within an NFPA 13 Occupancy. The
larger K-factor can be advantageous when needed to con-
form to the NFPA 13 hydraulic Special Design Approach for
Residential Sprinklers.
OPERATION
Upon exposure to heat such as from a re, the uid in the
bulb expands, compressing the air bubble within the bulb.
When the air bubble can no longer compress, the uid ex-
pansion causes breakage of the glass bulb, resulting in re-
lease of the water seat assembly, and discharge of water
from the sprinkler.

DESIGN CRITERIA
The Globe Residential Pendent Sprinkler Series GL-RES is
cULus Listed for installation in accordance with this data
sheet as well as the applicable installation Standard being
utilized.
Globe Residential Sprinkler Installation Guide
When conditions exist that are outside the scope of the pro-
vided criteria, refer to the Globe Residential Sprinkler Instal-
lation Guide (Document GFS-380) for recommendations
that may be acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction.
Hydraulic Design (NFPA 13D and 13R)
For systems designed to NFPA 13D or NFPA 13R, the min-
imum required sprinkler ow rate is given in Table A for the
coverage areas shown. The sprinkler ow rate is the min-
imum required discharge from each of the total number of
“design sprinklers” as specied in NFPA 13D or NFPA 13R.
Hydraulic Design (NFPA 13)
The minimum required discharge from each design area
sprinkler shall be the greater of the following:
(1) In accordance with minimum ow rates indicated in
TABLE A.
(2) In rooms or compartments greater than 800 ft2
(74.3 m2), calculated based on delivering a minimum
of 0.1 gpm/ft2(4.1 mm/min) over the coverage area of
each sprinkler, calculated in accordance with the
S x L Rules for density area sprinklers.
(3) In rooms or compartments 800 ft2(74.3 m2) or less
(Dened as “Small Rooms”) calculated based on de-
livering a minimum of 0.1 gpm/ft2(4.1 mm/min) over
the room or compartment using the area of the room
divided by the number of sprinklers in the room. (7psi

NOTICE
Do not install any bulb-type sprinkler if the bulb is cracked or
there is loss of liquid from the bulb. Sprinklers should be tightened
enough to obtain a leak-tight joint when water pressure is applied
and/or hydrostatic test is performed. Sprinklers should not be
overtightened as this can result in distortion and subsequent leak-
age. It is recommended not to exceed 14 ft.-lb. (19.0 Nm) torque
for 1/2 inch NPT sprinkler threads.
Step1. Sprinklers must be properly oriented.
Step2. With pipe thread sealant applied to the pipe
threads, hand tighten the sprinkler into the sprin-
kler tting. Note: Do not grasp the sprinkler by
the deector.
Step3. Wrench-tighten the sprinkler using only the
appropriate wrench. Wrenches are only to be
applied to the sprinkler wrench ats or wrench
hex as applicable. Note: Do not apply wrench to
frame arms.
INSTALLATION
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Prior to installation, it is important to read and follow the
“Sprinkler Caution” sheet (GFS-840) included within each
box of sprinklers. This sheet is available on Globe’s web
site (www.globesprinkler.com).
Always obtain permission from the proper authorities to
shut down the affected re protection system and notify all
personnel who may be affected by this action before closing
a re protection system main control valve for maintenance
work on the system that it controls.
Sprinklers should only be cleaned by means of gently dust-
ing with a feather duster; otherwise, non-operation in the
event of a re or inadvertent operation may result.
Store sprinklers in a cool, dry place. Exposure to extreme
heat will damage the thermal sensing element, possibly re-
sulting in premature activation. Avoid direct sunlight.
Replace any sprinkler that shows any corrosion, damage,
or loss of liquid from the glass bulb.
Do not attempt to paint or alter the sprinkler’s coating in any
manner after leaving the manufacturing plant.
Do not attach wiring, ropes, decorations or xtures to a
sprinkler.
Absence of an escutcheon, used to cover a ceiling hole,
may delay sprinkler operation in a re situation.
It is the owner’s responsibility for inspection, testing and
maintenance of the re sprinkler system with all components
and devices in accordance with the National Fire Protection
Association Pamphlet 25 as well as any other requirements
as set forth by the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
