The Globe Quick Response GLSeries Dry Type Horizontal Sidewall
Sprinklerutilizesa3mmfrangibleglassampuleasthethermosensitive
element. This provides sprinkler operation approximately six times
faster than ordinary sprinklers. At the ampule's rated temperature,
the sprinkler opens releasing the bulb seat, causing the inner tube
assembly to move, allowing the spring assembly to pivot alongside
the inner tube. At this time, water flows through the sprinkler and is
distributedby the deflector, in an approved discharge pattern.It can be

The heart of Globe's GLSeries sprinkler proven actuating assembly
isahermeticallysealedfrangibleglassampulethatcontainsaprecisely
measured amount of fluid. 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.

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION DATA
Globe GL Series Dry Pendent Sprinklers should be
installed in accordance with the requirements set
forth in NFPA 13. These sprinklers are to be installed
using a pipe wrench applied to the outer tube. When
this is not possible, the proper sprinkler head wrench
may be used with extreme care for lengths up to
approximately 18”. Excessive force may distort the
frame thus destroying the unit.
When installed in a wet system extending into a
freezing area see chart on Dry Caution Sheet for
minimum exposed barrel length to prevent ice
plugs. Please refer to our Dry Caution Sheet for further
important installation data.
