A-10 One Inch Adjustable Flat Plate Concealed Pendent 4.9K Model GL4906

"The Inch" Residential Automatic Sprinklers Model GL4906 One Inch Adjustable Flat Plate Concealed Pendent

Description and Operation

The Globe Model GL4906 Residential One Inch Adjustable Concealed Pendent Sprinkler has a flat plate profile that utilizes a 3mm frangible glass ampule as the thermosensitive element. It features economy, aesthetics and the lowest allowable water flow with a nominal 1" of adjustment for easier installation. The combination of the 3mm frangible glass ampule and specially designed deflector make the Model GL4906 the ultimate in life safety and fire control. It has met the strict requirements of Underwriters Laboratories Inc. as described in UL Standard, 1626, for Residential Sprinklers for Fire Protection Service, 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.

All that is seen at the ceiling is the 3 5/16" diameter flat ceiling plate color finished to match the specifier's exact requirements. The ceiling plate is soldered to the sprinkler's special upper support assembly in three places. Upon the application of sufficient heat, the plate falls to the floor exposing the residential pendent spray sprinkler. At the prescribed temperature the internal pressure within the ampule exceeds the strength of the glass causing the glass bulb to shatter. This results in water discharge which is distributed in an approved pattern.

A-90EQ Automatic Sprinklers GL Series Dry Type Recessed Pendent

Automatic Sprinklers GL Series Dry Type Recessed Pendent To Meet IBC-ASCE/SEI 7 Codes for Seismic Areas C, D & E

Description and Operation

The Globe GL Series Dry Type Pendent Sprinkler is designed for use in special applications such as freezing environments and conditions where sediment or foreign materials might accumulate in ordinary drop nipples.

The Globe GL Series Dry Type Pendent Sprinkler utilizes a frangible glass ampule sprinkler. At the ampule's rated temperature, the sprinkler opens releasing the bulb seat, causing the inner tube assembly to move, allowing spring assembly to pivot alongside the inner tube. At this time, water flows through the sprinkler and is distributed by the deflector, in an approved discharge pattern.

The heart of Globe's GL Series sprinkler proven actuating assembly is a hermetically sealed frangible glass ampule that contains a precisely 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.

The use of the 4 1/2" diameter recessed escutcheon allows for 1" of clearance around the sprinkler body, and meets the IBC-ASCE/SEI 7 requirements for use in seismic design categories C, D & E.

The sprinkler and escutcheon are not factory assembled. Assembly is done at the time of installation.

A-26 Automatic Sprinklers GL Series 10MM   Upright • Pendent • Recessed Pendent

Quick Response Automatic Sprinklers GL Series 10MM
Upright • Pendent • Recessed Pendent

Description and Operation

The Globe Quick Response GL Series 10mm Sprinklers are a low profile 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 the Quick Response 10mm Sprinkler provides an aesthetically pleasing appearance, it can be installed wherever standard spray sprinklers are specified when allowed by the applicable standards. It offers the additional feature of greatly increased safety to life and is available in various styles, temperature ratings and finishes to meet many varying design requirements. Quick Response Sprinklers should be used advisedly and under the direction of approving authorities having jurisdiction.

The heart of Globe's GL Series sprinkler-proven actuating assembly is a hermetically sealed frangible glass ampule that contains a precisely 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, depending upon the deflector style used.

The sprinkler and escutcheon are not factory assembled. Assembly is done in the field.

A-69EQ “The Inch” Adjustable Concealed Pendent Sprinkler Seismic Application - GL5653

Automatic Sprinklers

"The Inch"
Model GL5653 One Inch
Adjustable Concealed Pendent
with Cover Plate to meet IBC-ASCE/SEI 7 Codes for Seismic Areas C,D, & E.

Description and Operation

The Globe GL5653 Adjustable Concealed Pendent Sprinkler has a low profile, aesthetically pleasing design. It offers the additional feature of greatly increased safety to life and should be used advisedly and under the direction of approving authorities having jurisdiction. The sprinkler is available with a nominal 1" of adjustment and a low profile cover plate assembly. The 4 1/2" diameter cover plate allows for 1" clearance around the sprinkler body and meets the IBC-ASCE/SEI 7 requirements for the use in seismic design categories C, D, & E. The GL Series Concealed Sprinkler may be virtually invisible as it does not interrupt the "smooth flow" of the ceiling. Globe's Concealed Sprinkler utilizes its 5mm frangible glass ampule which is located above the ceiling and concealed from view by the ceiling plate.

The provided protective cap needs to be removed in order to install the sprinkler with the proper wrench. The protective cap must be replaced on the sprinkler until the time the cover plate is to be installed. The "push on - screw off" designed cover plate is easily installed and with a nominal 1" inch of adjustment makes it easier to get a proper fit at the ceiling.

Operation of the sprinkler occurs when heat build up causes the solder holding the cover plate to the support shell to melt allowing the cover plate to fall clear. Continued heat build up causes the 5mm glass bulb to burst allowing the deflector to drop down and distribute water in an approved pattern to extinguish or control the fire.

• Note: Globe's wrench P/N 332765 must be used to install this sprinkler.

"The Inch" Automatic Sprinklers Model GL5653 & GL5606 One Inch Adjustable Concealed Pendent

Installation Instructions - Read Carefully

Position

Commercial or Residential Pendent Spray Sprinkler. Install in pendent position only.

Warning

Sprinklers contained in this carton have been manufactured and tested in accordance with the applicable standards or where applicable under the inspection of Underwriters Laboratories Inc., and FM Approvals.

Any alteration to the sprinkler after it leaves the factory including, but not limited to painting, plating, coating or other alteration, may render the sprinkler inoperative and will nullify the Listing of Underwriters Laboratories Inc., and FM Approvals.

Glass bulbs are very fragile. Handle with extreme care. Sprinklers should be kept in the carton provided with dividers at all times prior to installation. Sprinklers should never come in direct contact with one another or any other foreign object prior to installation. Do not place sprinklers in a bucket.

Important Precautions to Follow

• Globe Sprinklers are to be installed in accordance with the latest published standards of the National Fire Protection Association, Globe Sprinkler data sheets, Government agencies and/or other similar organizations and to meet local codes and ordinances.
• The protective cover provided is to be installed after sprinkler installation for integrity as long as work is being done by any contractor in the area. This prevents accidental sprinkler damage. Protective caps are to be removed when cover plates are installed.
• Care should be taken not to bend deflector drop pins at installation. Deflector is to fall freely after installation.
• Never install a sprinkler after it has dropped to the floor or been injured in any way. These sprinklers should be discarded.
• Never install sprinklers in the fittings until the piping is in place on the ceiling as sprinklers are liable to be injured if screwed into the fittings when the lines are made up at the bench.
• Never paint or whitewash sprinklers as this is liable to prevent their operation in a fire.
• Never install sprinklers in pendent position on a dry system unless of a type designed for this purpose and as permitted by NFPA 13 and the authority having jurisdiction.
• Never attach wiring, ropes or fixtures to sprinkler or sprinkler piping.
• Globe's wrench P/N 332765 must be used to install this sprinkler.
• Sprinklers must remain separated from each other at all times. Allowing metal parts to come in contact with the glass bulb can cause damage, causing premature operation.
• Store sprinklers in cool, dry place and preferably in their shipping carton.
• Sprinklers of proper rating must be carefully selected to meet the temperature conditions where they are located (see table on reverse side for available temperatures). 175°F (79°C) or lower sprinklers should not be installed in locations less than 30" above or 12" to one side of steam pipes, heating coils or radiators. 200°F (93°C) sprinkler should be used under skylights where exposed to direct sun rays. Consult the local authority having jurisdiction to determine the proper temperature ratings in special locations such as:
  • Areas near unit heaters.
  • Areas where low pressure blow-off discharges into a large room.
  • Areas in an unventilated concealed space under uninsulated wood or tin roofs.
  • Areas in an unventilated attic.
  • Areas in a shed with an unventilated peak roof or thin boards or metal.
  • Areas where show windows have high powered electric illumination processes.
  • Areas where a locomotive enters a building.
  • Areas in other locations where special consideration is necessary.
• Inspect sprinklers regularly for mechanical damage, corrosion, paint and dust buildup as outlined in NFPA publications.
• All automatic sprinklers should be replaced in accordance with the latest NFPA 25 requirements, or as conditions warrant.
• When replacing sprinklers in any system, make sure those replacements are of the same style, size, and temperature rating as those removed.
• Should a change in building structure, occupancy or temperature conditions indicate a probable change in sprinkler requirements, notify the insurance carrier or other qualified inspection agency immediately. Do not make any changes without the authorization of one of these agencies.
• Maintain an extra stock of sprinklers and wrenches in a cabinet as required by NFPA 13.
• Concealed sprinklers and recessed sprinklers should not be used if the space above the ceiling is used for delivery (positive pressure) in an HVAC system.
• Globe Fire Sprinkler Corporation sprinklers have been tested, listed or approved by the agencies noted on the individual sprinkler data sheet. Acceptance by other agencies or authorities is not the responsibility of Globe Fire Sprinkler Corporation. Globe Fire Sprinkler Corporation is not liable for any costs arising as a result of any changes to listings or approvals after shipment.

Important Precautions to Follow

• Globe Sprinklers are to be installed in accordance with the latest published standards of the National Fire Protection Association, Loss Prevention Council, Globe Sprinkler data sheets, Government agencies and/or other similar organizations and to meet local codes and ordinances.
• Never replace a Large Orifice Sprinkler with a standard sprinkler or vice versa.
• Never install an Upright Spray Sprinkler in a pendent position or a Pendent Spray Sprinkler in an upright position.
• Install 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.
• Minimum operating pressure for dry upright is 12 psi.
• Install Globe GL Series Dry Type Sprinklers in 1"NPT or ¾"NPT tees only - ANSI B16.3 Class 155 or ANSI B16.4 Class 125. Tyco Blazemaster® CPVC Fittings have been evaluated and found acceptable for use. Other plastic fittings may be acceptable but we have not received samples for evaluation.
• Never install a sprinkler after it has dropped to the floor or been injured in any way. These sprinklers should be returned to the factory for examination.
• Never install sprinklers in the fittings until the piping is in place on the ceiling as sprinklers are liable to be injured if screwed into the fittings when the lines are made up at the bench.
• Never paint or whitewash sprinklers as this is liable to prevent their operation in a fire.
• Never attach wiring, ropes or fixtures to sprinkler or sprinkler piping.
• Lead Plated sprinklers should be used in all locations subject to corrosion from acid fumes, chemicals, processes, etc. Extreme care must be exercised when installing to avoid damage to coating.
• Use sprinkler guards on all sprinklers subject to injury by moving objects.
• Some Globe Fire Sprinkler Corporation sprinkler models are shipped with a factory applied sealant on the threads. Globe recommends that no additional tape or pipe dope be used on these sprinklers. If pipe compound is used on sprinklers without factory applied sealant, apply to sprinkler threads only. Wipe all excess compound off sprinkler.
• Store sprinklers in cool, dry place and preferably in their shipping carton.
• Sprinklers of proper rating must be carefully selected to meet the temperature conditions where they are located (see table on reverse side for available temperatures). 175°F (79°C) or lower sprinklers should not be installed in locations less than 30" above or 12" to one side of steam pipes, heating coils or radiators. 200°F (93°C) sprinkler should be used under skylights where exposed to direct sun rays. Consult the local authority having jurisdiction to determine the proper temperature ratings in special locations such as:
  • Areas near unit heaters.
  • Areas where low pressure blow-off discharges into a large room.

    space under uninsulated wood or tin roofs.
  • Areas in an unventilated attic.
  • Areas in a shed with an unventilated peak roof or thin boards or metal.
  • Areas where show windows have high powered electric illumination processes.
  • Areas where a locomotive enters a building.
  • Areas in other locations where special consideration is necessary.
• Inspect sprinklers regularly for mechanical damage, corrosion, paint and dust buildup as outlined in NFPA publications.
• Dry type sprinklers should be replaced after 10 years of service or as conditions warrant.
• High temperature sprinklers (360°F and higher) should be replaced after 5 years of service or as conditions warrant.
  
• When replacing sprinklers in any system, make sure those replacements are of the same style, size, and temperature rating as those removed.
• Should a change in building structure, occupancy or temperature conditions indicate a probable change in sprinkler requirements, notify the insurance carrier or other qualified inspection agency immediately. Do not make any changes without the authorization of one of these agencies.
• Maintain an extra stock of sprinklers and wrenches in a cabinet as required by NFPA 13.
• Concealed sprinklers and recessed sprinklers should not be used if the space above the ceiling is used for delivery (positive pressure) in an HVAC system.
• Globe Fire Sprinkler Corporation sprinklers have been tested, listed or approved by the agencies noted on the individual sprinkler data sheet. Acceptance by other agencies or authorities is not the responsibility of Globe Fire Sprinkler Corporation.

A-2 5.6K Pendent Sprinkler -  GL5610

Automatic Sprinklers Model GL5610 Pendent Recessed Pendent

Description and Operation

The Globe Model GL5610 Residential Sprinkler has a low profile yet durable design, which utilizes a 3mm frangible glass ampule as the thermosensitive element. It features economy, aesthetics and low flow.

The combination of the 3mm frangible glass ampule and specially designed deflector makes the Model GL5610 Residential Sprinkler the ultimate in life safety and fire 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 GL5610 sprinkler proven actuating assembly is a hermetically sealed frangible glass ampule that contains a precisely 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.

J-10 Swing Check Valve - Model “RCV” - 2” - 6”

Swing Check Valve Model RCV Standard & "Shotgun" Groove/Groove 2", 2 ½",65mm, 3", 4", 6" & 150mm Sizes

Description and Operation

Globe Model RCV Swing Check Valves feature a swing type clapper designed for use in fire sprinkler or other types of water piping systems that incorporate grooved connecting pipe ends. They are effectively used when it is necessary to permit water flow in one direction only, preventing flow in the reverse direction (non-return). Because the RCV incorpo- rates a spring-loaded clapper assembly, it may be installed in either the vertical or horizontal position. Most commonly, it is used with various configurations of fire department connections for fire sprinkler systems, by-pass connections, gravity pressure tank and, pump discharge in connections from public water supplies to automatic sprinkler systems, etc.

As an alternative to using an alarm check valve with a wet sprinkler system, an RCV Swing Check Valve may be used in a "Shotgun" arrangement whereby the valve is trimmed in a similar manner but utilizes an electric water flow switch and alarm bell instead of a water motor gong for fire notification.

The body of the Globe RCV Swing Check Valve is constructed of high tensile strength cast iron having considerable ductility to reduce damage in field handling. It meets the ASTM A126 Class B rating. The RCV clapper assembly is made of stainless steel and has an E.P.D.M. rubber facing. The RCV incorporates a special stainless steel spring assembly which allows its use in the downward flow direction. It effectively provides a leak tight seal against back pressures greater than one (1) psi.

G-2 Air Maintenance Device - Model “H-2” & “H-3”

Air Maintenance Device Model H-2, Model H-3

Description and Operation

Globe's Model H-2 and H-3 Air Pressure Maintenance Devices are automatic, field-adjustable devices that control the on-off cycling of an air compressor. They are used to control the supervisory air pressure in a dry pipe sprinkler system, preaction system, or dry pilot line system of a dry pilot sprinkler actuated deluge or preaction valve. The H-2 and H-3 are utilized in applications where it is desirable or necessary to use a small, non-tank mounted compressor that is to be dedicated to the system to be pressurized. The H-2 and H-3 monitor system pressure and automatically cycle the air compressor on and off to maintain system pressure within the preset limits.

The Model H-2 should be specified when the primary air compressor has an unloader as an integral part. After the initial system air pressure has been established, the 1/2" Globe valve is closed. As pressure on the system side of the 1/4" check valve drops, the air pressure switch contacts close, causing the compressor to start. A restricted orifice limits the rate at which air is replaced. When the system air pressure has been re-established, the switch contacts open, stopping the compressor.

Globe's Model H-3 Air Maintenance Device is similar in operation to the Model H-2. The Model H- 3, however, incorporates an unloader valve. This model is selected when the primary air compressor is not equipped with an unloader device. After the compressor has re-established the required air pressure on the system side of the check valve, the air pressure switch contacts open, stopping the compressor and operating a release valve. The release valve vents the compressor head to exhaust the air trapped between the compressor head and the bypass check valve. On the next automatic operating cycle, the compressor will start against atmospheric pressure, thus preventing excessive starting loads.

G-1 Air Maintenance Device - Model H1

Air Maintenance Device - Model H1

Description and Operation

Globe's Model H-1 Air Pressure Maintenance Device is an automatic, field-adjustable device of the pressure reducing type. It is used to control the supervisory air pressure in a dry pipe sprinkler system, preaction system, or dry pilot line system of a dry pilot sprinkler actuated deluge or preaction valve. The H-1 is utilized in applications where there is a compressed air (or nitrogen) source which is at a higher pressure than the desired system pressure. Pressure sources include plant air supplies having their own automatic compressor controls, or nitrogen supplies having single-stage cylinder mounted pressure regulators.

The 1/2" globe valve is opened to admit air speedily to the dry pipe system. It is closed once the desired system air pressure has been established. As pressure drops on the system side of the 1/4" check valve, the regulator and metering orifice operate automatically to replace small losses of air which periodically occur in the system due to temperature or other system variations. The regulator and metering orifice limit the volume of air introduced to assure that the rate of air replacment is less than that from a discharging sprinkler so that system activation may take place.

F-1 Accelerator & Anti-Flooding Device - Model “C”

Accelerator and Anti-Flooding Device Model C

Description and Operation

Globe's Model C Accelerator is a precision made device used to reduce the time lag normally associated with the opening of a Dry Pipe Valve after one or more system sprinklers have operated. In essence, the Model C Accelerator "accelerates" the opening of the Dry Pipe Valve resulting in faster water discharge from the opened sprinkler(s).

The Model C Accelerator basically monitors the air pressure in a Dry Pipe System. If a rapid loss of system air pressure occurs, as would with the opening of one or more sprinklers, the accelerator senses this loss and immediately sends pressurized air to the intermediate chamber of the Dry Pipe Valve upsetting the pressure differential and causing it to operate instantly.

Globe incorporates the use of its Model C Anti-Flooding Device to help ensure the proper operation of the Model C Accelerator by preventing most water-borne foreign objects from entering the Accelerator. Such objects could cause clogging of the Accelerator and hinder its proper operation. Because of its importance, the Model C Anti-Flooding Device is always included with orders for the Model C Accelerator and should always be properly installed. Accelerators are precision made devices, however, and must be kept clean of foreign matter. A thorough cleaning after use is recommended.

After the Accelerator has operated, the pressurized air in the Accelerator Body and its associated piping is discharged to the Model C Anti-Flooding Device's lower inlet stopping any flow through the piping leading to the Accelerator. This occurs very quickly and always before water reaches the Anti-Flooding Device.

E-10 Dry Pipe Valve - Model “A” - 3”

Dry Pipe Valve Model A*, Flange/Flange 3" Size

Description and Operation

The Globe Model A Dry Pipe Valve is the vital control unit in dry pipe automatic sprinkler systems, where super- visory air under pressure is used to prevent freezing that would certainly occur with ordinary wet pipe systems. The Dry Pipe Valve is the connecting link between the source of water supply and the automatic sprinklers, and must react promptly when it receives a signal from the protected area that a fire condition has developed and water is therefore quickly needed. This signal is generated by the opening of one or more sprinklers which causes a quick drop in system supervisory air pressure resulting in a loss of the differential force ratio.

The single clapper assembly design in the Globe Model A Dry Pipe Valve, provides a differential force ratio of approximately 6:1 between system air pressure and water supply pressure. Once the valve has operated, a special latch holds the clapper open until manually reset by qualified personnel.

The body of the Dry Pipe Valve is constructed of high tensile strength cast iron having considerable ductility to reduce damage in field handling.

All interior operating parts are machined from highly corrosive-resistant copper alloys, each having high strength and good wear resistance.

Rubber parts are of selective materials which have good abrasive resistance and long life expectancy in terms of resiliency.

NOTE:  *Formerly known as Model D

E-1 Dry Pipe Valve - Models “F-3” & “G-3” - 4” &  6”

Dry Pipe Valve Model F-3 Flange/Flange, Model G-3 Flange/Groove 4" & 6" Sizes

Description and Operation

The Globe Model F-3 and G-3 Dry Pipe Valves are the vital control unit in dry pipe automatic sprinkler systems, where supervisory air under pressure is used to prevent freezing that would certainly occur with ordinary wet pipe systems. The Dry Pipe Valve is the connecting link between the source of water supply and the automatic sprinklers, and must react promptly when it receives a signal from the protected area that a fire condition has developed and water is therefore quickly needed. This signal is generated by the opening of one or more sprinklers which causes a quick drop in system supervisory air pressure resulting in a loss of the differential ratio.

The single clapper assembly design in the Globe Model F-3 and G-3 Dry Pipe Valves, provides several areas exposed to working pressures which, in combination, create a differential force ratio between system air pressure and water supply pressure. A single-latching lever is provided as a means of holding the clapper in "set" position. Once the valve has operated, a special latch holds the clapper open until manually reset by experienced personnel.

The body of the Dry Pipe Valve is constructed of high tensile strength cast iron having considerable ductility to reduce damage in field handling.

All interior operating parts are machined from highly corrosive-resistant copper alloys, each having high strength and good wear resistance.

Rubber parts are of selective materials which have good abrasive resistance and long life expectancy in terms of resiliency.

D-1 Retarding Chamber Model H

Retarding Chamber Model H

Description and Operation

The Globe Model H Retarding Chamber is an accessory which is used with variable pressure wet sprinkler systems where water motor alarms and / or pressure switches are used in conjunction with Globe's Alarm Check Valves. It serves primarily as a hydraulic time delay to prevent most false alarms associated with fluctuating water supply pressures. In situations where excessive water pressure surges occur, the Model H Retarding Chamber is needed to collect excess water from the Alarm Check Valve and feed water back into the main drain, before activating the alarm. An additional retarding chamber could be needed if pressure surges exceed the capacity of one retarding chamber.

Water enters the retarding chamber through the 1/2" NPT Inlet and automatically flows through a restricted orifice and to drain; when the drain capacity is exceeded, as when the alarm check valve clapper remains open or when the system is being tested, the retarding chamber capacity is reached, and water then flows through the Outlet to the water motor alarm and / or electric alarm switch.

The body of the Retarding Chamber has considerable ductility to reduce damage in field handling.

All interior operating parts are machined from highly corrosive-resistant alloys, each having high strength and good wear resistance.

N-1 Water Motor Gong - Model WM & WM2

Water Motor Alarm Model WM Model WM-2

Description and Operation

Globe's Model WM and WM-2 Water Motor Alarms are hydraulically operated indoor and outdoor alarms for use with fire protection systems. They are lightweight yet durable, and can be used in conjunction with alarm check, dry pipe, deluge, and preaction valves to sound a local alarm. This water-powered system eliminates the need for an electrical alarm and will operate even if electrical power is lost.

Globe's Model WM Water Motor Alarm features a one- gong system which sounds an alarm outside the building. Globe's Model WM-2 Water Motor Alarm features a unique two-gong system which provides an audible fire alarm both inside and outside the building.

The Water Motor Alarms are suitable for mounting to any type of rigid wall and can accomodate a wall thickness up to 16" (406.4 mm). They are provided with a listed and approved strainer for use in the alarm line. The Gong, Gong Mount, and Water Motor Housing are fabricated from corrosion- resistant cast aluminum. The polymer drive bearings do not require lubrication.

The WM and WM-2 utilize a lightweight, impeller design which can produce a very high decibel sound level. As water passes through the water motor, the impeller turns and the shaft rotates. The rotating shaft drives a striker assembly which rings the gong, sounding a continuous alarm as long as the water flow continues.

A-94 Dry Type Vertical Sidewall Sprinkler

GL Series Dry Type Vertical Sidewall Upright & Pendent

The Globe GL Series Dry Type Vertical Sidewall Sprinkler is designed for use in special applications such as freezing environments and conditions where sediment or foreign materials might accumulate in ordinary drop nipples.

The Globe GL Series Dry Type Vertical Sidewall Sprinkler utilizes a frangible glass ampule sprinkler. At the ampule's rated temperature, the sprinkler opens releasing the bulb seat, causing the inner tube assembly to move, allowing spring assembly to pivot alongside the inner tube. At this time, water flows through the sprinkler and is distributed by the deflector, in an approved discharge pattern.

The heart of Globe's GL Series sprinkler proven actuating assembly is a hermetically sealed frangible glass ampule that contains a precisely 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.

A-95 GL Series Dry Type Upright Sprinkler

GL Series Dry Type Upright

Description and Operation

The Globe GL Series Dry Type Upright Sprinkler is designed for use in special applications such as freezing environments. As an example, they may be efficiently used when connected to a wet type sprinkler system and extended into an unheated attic space.

The Globe GL Series Dry Type Upright Sprinkler utilizes a frangible glass ampule sprinkler. 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 distributed by the deflector, in the approved discharge pattern.

The heart of Globe's GL Series sprinkler proven actuating assembly is a hermetically sealed frangible glass ampule that contains a precisely 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.

Dry Sprinklers » Dry Type Concealed Pendent

A-92 Dry Type Adjustable (Dome) Concealed Pendent Sprinkler

GL Series Dry Type Adjustable Concealed Pendent

Description and Operation

The Globe GL Series Dry Type Adjustable Concealed Pendent Sprinkler is designed for use in special applications such as freezing environments and conditions where sediment or foreign materials might accumulate in ordinary drop nipples. It offers the ultimate in low profile, aesthetically pleasing appearance. The sprinkler is available with 1/2" of adjustment and a deeper profile ceiling plate, 3 5/16" diameter, color finished to match the specifier's exact requirements. Globe's Dry Adjustable Concealed Sprinkler utilizes a frangible 5mm glass bulb type sprinkler which is located above the ceiling and concealed from view by the ceiling plate. The plate is soldered to the sprinkler special upper support assembly in three places. Upon the application of sufficient heat, the plate falls to the floor exposing the pendent spray sprinkler. 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 distributed by the deflector in an approved discharge pattern.

A special spring is attached to the pendent deflector that serves to provide a constant tension against the ceiling plate. This feature virtually ensures freedom from environmental vibration problems.

The heart of Globe's GL Series sprinkler proven actuation assembly is a hermetically sealed frangible glass ampule that contains a precisely 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 cdischarge which is distributed in an approved pattern.

A-80 ELO 13 Pendent Sprinkler - GL1160

Model GL1160 Extra Large Orifice Automatic Sprinklers For Use in NFPA 13 Systems

Description and Operation

The Globe Model GL1160 Extra Large Orifice Sprinkler for use in NFPA 13 Systems is a low profile yet durable design which utilizes a 5mm frangible glass ampule as the thermosensitive element. The main use of this sprinkler is when minimal pressure is available and the use of smaller size orifice sprinklers would require the installation of a pump. This sprinkler series is available in various styles, temperature ratings and several finishes to meet many varying design requirements.

The heart of Globe's Model GL1160 sprinkler proven actuating assembly is a hermetically sealed frangible glass am- pule that contains a precisely 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.

The Globe Models GL8128, GL8129 and GL8174 Extended Coverage Horizontal Sidewall Sprinklers are a low profile yet durable design which utilizes a 3mm frangible glass ampule as the thermosensitive element. While the sprinkler provides an aesthetically pleasing appearance, it serves to protect various area coverages and should be installed in accordance with NFPA 13. This sprinkler series is available in various temperature ratings and several finishes to meet many varying design requirements.

The heart of Globe's GL Series sprinkler proven actuating assembly is a hermetically sealed frangible glass ampule that contains a precisely 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.

A-76 Extended Coverage Light Hazard Pendent Sprinkler - GL8159

Extended Coverage Light Hazard Model GL8159 Pendent

Description and Operation

The Globe Model GL8159 Extended Coverage Pendent Sprinkler for Light Hazard occupancies is a low profile yet durable design which utilizes a 5mm frangible glass ampule as the thermosensitive element. While the sprinkler provides an aesthetically pleasing appearance, it serves to protect various light hazard area coverages and should be installed in accordance with NFPA 13. This sprinkler series is available in four temperature ratings and several finishes to meet many varying design requirements.

The heart of Globe's GL Series sprinkler proven actuating assembly is a hermetically sealed frangible glass ampule that contains a precisely measured amount of fluid.

A-75 Intermediate Level Sprinkler

GL Series Intermediate Level Upright/Pendent

Description and Operation

The Globe GL Series Intermediate Level Sprinklers are primarily designed for use in rack storage sprinkler systems, where their thermosensitive elements must be shielded from the water spray of higher elevation sprinklers which could operate earlier during a fire. The Globe GL Series Sprinkler is a low profile yet durable design which utilizes a frangible glass ampule as the thermosensitive element.

The Globe Intermediate Level Sprinklers are available in either upright or pendent styles, with 1/2" or 17/32" orifices, in several temperature ratings and with various finishes to meet customer requirements. Each unit is factory fitted with a water shield having a 3 25/32" diameter. Either style may be provided with sprinkler head guards for use where mechanical injury might be expected.

The heart of Globe’s GL Series sprinkler proven actuating assembly is a hermetically sealed frangible glass ampule that contains a precisely 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 depending upon the deflector style used.

A-72 High Pressure Concealed Pendent Sprinkler - GL5655

High Pressure Model GL5655 Concealed Pendent

Description and Operation

The Globe High Pressure Model GL5655 Concealed Pendent Sprinkler offers the ultimate in low profile, aesthetically pleasing appearance. All that is seen at the ceiling is a 3 5/16" diameter ceiling plate color finished to match the specifier's exact requirements. The Model GL5655 Concealed Sprinkler may be virtually invisible as it does not interrupt the "smooth flow" of the ceiling, and may be used in areas where flowing and static pressure do not exceed 300 psi. Globe's Concealed Sprinkler utilizes its frangible glass ampule type sprinkler which is located above the ceiling and concealed from view by the ceiling plate. The plate is soldered to the sprinkler special upper support assembly in three places. Upon the application of sufficient heat, the plate falls to the floor exposing the pendent spray sprinkler. At the ampule's rated temperature, the sprinkler opens discharging water onto the floor in its required and approved distribution pattern.

A special spring is attached to the pendent sprinkler deflector that serves to provide a constant tension against the ceiling plate. This feature virtually ensures freedom from environmental vibration problems.

A-69 "The Inch" One Inch Adjustable Concealed Pendent - GL5653

"The Inch" Model GL5653 One Inch Adjustable Concealed Pendent

Description and Operation

The Globe GL5653 Adjustable Concealed Pendent Sprinkler has a low profile, aesthetically pleasing design. It offers the additional feature of greatly increased safety to life and should be used advisedly and under the direction of approving authorities having jurisdiction. The sprinkler is available with a nominal 1" of adjustment and a low profile cover plate assembly. All that is seen at the ceiling is a 3 5/16" diameter ceiling plate or an optional 2¾" diameter ceiling plate color finished to match the specifier's exact requirements. The GL Series Concealed Sprinkler may be virtually invisible as it does not interrupt the "smooth flow" of the ceiling. Globe's Concealed Sprinkler utilizes its 5mm frangible glass ampule which is located above the ceiling and concealed from view by the ceiling plate.

The provided protective cap needs to be removed in order to install the sprinkler with the proper wrench. The protective cap must be replaced on the sprinkler until the time the cover plate is to be installed. The "push on - screw off" designed cover plate is easily installed and with a nominal 1" inch of adjustment makes it easier to get a proper fit at the ceiling.

Operation of the sprinkler occurs when heat build up causes the solder holding the cover plate to the support shell to melt allowing the cover plate to fall clear. Continued heat build up causes the 5mm glass bulb to burst allowing the deflector to drop down and distribute water in an approved pattern to extinguish or control the fire.

A-67 Recessed Pendent & Horizontal Sidewall Sprinkler

GL Series Recessed Pendent Recessed Horizontal Sidewall

Description and Operation

The Globe GL Series Sprinkler is a low profile yet durable design which utilizes a frangible glass ampule as the thermosensitive element. While the sprinkler provides an aesthetically pleasing appearance, it can be installed wherever standard spray sprinklers are specified. This sprinkler series is available in various styles, orifices, temperature ratings and finishes to meet varying design requirements.

The heart of Globe’s GL Series sprinkler proven actuating assembly is a hermetically sealed frangible glass ampule that contains a precisely 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 depending upon the deflector style used.

The sprinkler and escutcheon are not factory assembled. Assembly is done in the field.

A-59 Dry Type Vertical Sidewall Sprinkler

Automatic Sprinklers GL Series Dry Type Vertical Sidewall Upright & Pendent

Description and Operation

The Globe Quick Response GL Series Dry Type Vertical Sidewall Sprinkler is designed for use in special applications such as freezing environments and conditions where sediment or foreign materials might accumulate in ordinary drop nipples.

The Globe Quick Response GL Series Dry Type Vertical Sidewall Sprinkler utilizes a 3mm frangible glass ampule as the thermosensitive 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 distributed by the deflector in an approved discharge pattern. While the Quick Response Sprinkler provides an aesthetically pleasing appearance, it can be installed wherever standard spray sprinklers are specified 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.

Description and Operation

The Globe Quick Response GL Series Dry Type Adjustable Concealed Pendent Sprinkler is designed for use in special applications such as freezing environments and conditions where sediment or foreign materials might accumulate in ordinary drop nipples. It offers the ultimate in low profile, aesthetically pleasing appearance. The sprinkler is available with 1/2" of adjustment and a deeper profile ceiling plate, 3 5/16" in diameter, color finished to match the specifier's exact requirements. The quick response sprinkler offers the additional feature of greatly increased safety to life, with operation approximately six times faster than ordinary sprinklers and should be used advisedly and under the direction of approving authorities having jurisdiction. Globe's Dry Adjustable Concealed Sprinkler utilizes its frangible 3mm glass bulb type sprinkler which is located above the ceiling and concealed from view by the ceiling plate. The plate is soldered to the sprinkler special upper support assembly in three places. Upon the application of sufficient heat, the plate falls to the floor exposing the pendent spray sprinkler. 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 distributed by the deflector in an approved discharge pattern.

The heart of Globe's GL Series sprinkler proven actuation assembly is a hermetically sealed frangible glass ampule that contains a precisely 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.

A-56 Dry Type Concealed Pendent Sprinkler - GL5637

Automatic Sprinklers GL Series Dry Type Concealed Pendent

Description and Operation

The Globe Quick Response GL Series Dry Type Concealed Pendent Sprinkler is designed for use in special applications such as freezing environments and conditions where sediment or foreign materials might accumulate in ordinary drop nipples. It offers the ultimate in low profile, aesthetically pleasing appearance. All that is seen at the ceiling is a 3 5/16" diameter ceiling plate color finished to match the specifier's exact requirements. The Quick Response GL Series Dry Concealed Sprinkler may be virtually invisible as it does not interrupt the "smooth flow" of the ceiling. The quick response sprinkler offers the additional feature of greatly increased safety to life, with operation approximately six times faster than ordinary sprinklers and should be used advisedly and under the direction of approving authorities having jurisdiction. Globe's Dry Concealed Sprinkler utilizes its frangible 3mm glass bulb type sprinkler which is located above the ceiling and concealed from view by the ceiling plate. The plate is soldered to the sprinkler special upper support assembly in three places. Upon the application of sufficient heat, the plate falls to the floor exposing the pendent spray sprinkler. 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 distributed by the deflector in an approved discharge pattern.

A special spring is attached to the pendent deflector that serves to provide a constant tension against the ceiling plate. This feature virtually ensures freedom from environmental vibration problems.

The heart of Globe's Model GL Series sprinkler proven actuating assembly is a hermetically sealed frangible glass ampule that contains a precisely 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.

A-48 ELO 13 Pendent Sprinkler - GL1114

Model GL1114 Pendent Extra Large Orifice Automatic Sprinklers For Use in NFPA 13 Systems

Description and Operation

The Globe Quick Response Model GL1114 Extra Large Orifice Pendent Sprinkler for use in NFPA 13 Systems is a low profile yet durable design which utilizes a 3mm frangible glass ampule as the thermosensitive element. The main use of this sprinkler is when minimal pressure is available and the use of smaller size orifice sprinklers would require the installation of a pump. This sprinkler series is available in upright and pendent styles, various temperature ratings and several finishes to meet many varying design requirements.

The heart of Globe's Model GL1114 sprinkler proven actuating assembly is a hermetically sealed frangible glass am- pule that contains a precisely 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 depending upon the deflector style used.

A-44 Extended Coverage Light Hazard Horizontal Sidewall Sprinkler - GL5628

Extended Coverage Automatic Sprinklers Model GL5628 Horizontal Sidewall

Description and Operation

The Globe Quick Response Model GL5628 Extended Coverage Horizontal Sidewall Sprinkler is a low profile 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 these Quick Response Sprinklers provide an aesthetically pleasing appearance, they can be installed wherever standard extended coverage horizontal sprinklers are specified; but offer 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 Model GL Series sprinkler proven actuating assembly is a hermetically sealed frangible glass ampule that contains a precisely 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.

A-39 Intermediate Level Upright & Pendent Sprinkler

Automatic Sprinklers GL Series Intermediate Level Upright • Pendent

Description and Operation

The Globe Quick Response GL Series Intermediate Level Sprinklers are primarily designed for use in rack storage sprinkler systems, where their thermosensitive elements must be shielded from the water spray of higher elevation sprinklers which could operate earlier during a fire. The Globe GL Series Sprinkler is a low profile 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. The Quick Response Sprinkler can be installed wherever standard intermediate level sprinklers are specified. Quick Response Sprinklers should be used advisedly and under the direction of approving authorities having jurisdiction and in accordance with their listings.

The Globe Intermediate Level Sprinklers are available in either upright or pendent styles, with 1/2" or 17/32" orifices, in various temperature ratings and with various finishes to meet customer requirements. Each unit is factory fitted with a water shield having a 3 25/32" diameter. Either style may be provided with sprinkler head guards for use where mechanical injury might be expected.

The heart of Globe’s GL Series sprinkler proven actuating assembly is a hermetically sealed frangible glass ampule that contains a precisely 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 depending upon the deflector style used.

A-38 “The Inch” One Inch Adjustable Concealed Pendent - GL5606

Quick Response

"The Inch" Automatic Sprinklers Model GL5606, One Inch Adjustable Concealed Pendent

Description and Operation

The Globe Quick Response GL5606 Adjustable Concealed Pendent Sprinkler has a low profile, aesthetically pleasing design. It provides sprinkler operation approximately six times faster than ordinary sprinklers and can be installed wherever standard concealed spray sprinklers are specified when allowed by the applicable standards. It offers the additional feature of greatly increased safety to life and should be used advisedly and under the direction of approving authorities having jurisdiction. The sprinkler is available with a nominal 1" of adjustment and a low profile cover plate assembly. All that is seen at the ceiling is a 3 5/16" diameter ceiling plate or an optional 2¾" diameter ceiling plate color finished to match the specifier's exact requirements. The GL Series Concealed Sprinkler may be virtually invisible as it does not interrupt the "smooth flow" of the ceiling. Globe's Concealed Sprinkler utilizes its 3mm frangible glass ampule which is located above the ceiling and concealed from view by the ceiling plate.

The provided protective cap needs to be removed in order to install the sprinkler with the proper wrench. The protective cap must be replaced on the sprinkler until the time the cover plate is to be installed. The "push on - screw off" designed cover plate is easily installed and with a nominal 1" inch of adjustment makes it easier to get a proper fit at the ceiling.

Operation of the sprinkler occurs when heat build up causes the solder holding the cover plate to the support shell to melt allowing the cover plate to fall clear. Continued heat build up causes the 3mm glass bulb to burst allowing the deflector to drop down and distribute water in an approved pattern to extinguish or control the fire.

A-37 Extended Coverage Light Hazard Concealed (Dome) Pendent Sprinkler - GL8104

Automatic Sprinklers Model GL8104 Concealed Pendent

Description and Operation

The Globe Quick Response Model GL8104 Extended Coverage Concealed Pendent Sprinkler is a low profile, aesthetically pleasing design. It provides sprinkler operation approximately six times faster than ordinary sprinklers and can be installed wherever standard concealed spray sprinklers are specified when allowed by the applicable standards, and in accordance with NFPA 13. It offers the additional feature of greatly increased safety to life and should be used advisedly and under the direction of approving authorities having jurisdiction. All that is seen at the ceiling is a 3 9/32" diameter ceiling plate color finished to match the specifier's exact requirements. The Model GL8104 Concealed Sprinkler may be virtually invisible as it does not interrupt the "smooth flow" of the ceiling. Globe's Concealed Sprinkler utilizes its 3mm frangible glass ampule type sprinkler which is located above the ceiling and concealed from view by the ceiling plate. The ceiling plate is soldered to the sprinkler's special upper support assembly in three places. Upon the application of sufficient heat, the plate falls to the floor exposing the quick response pendent spray sprinkler. At the ampule's rated temperature, the sprinkler opens discharging water onto the floor in its required and approved distribution pattern.

A special spring is attached to the pendent sprinkler deflector that serves to provide a constant tension against the ceiling plate. This feature virtually ensures freedom from environmental vibration problems.
