DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION HORIZONTAL SIDEWALL
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 sprin-
klers. 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 in-
creased safety to life. Quick Response Sprinklers should be
used advisedly and under the direction of approving authori-
ties having jurisdiction, in accordance with their listings and in
accordance with NFPA 13.
The heart of Globe's Model GL Series sprinkler proven QUICK RESPONSE
actuating assembly is a hermetically sealed frangible glass EXTENDED COVERAGE
ampule that contains a precisely measured amount of fluid. HORIZONTAL SIDEWALL
When heat is absorbed, the liquid within the bulb expands
increasing the internal pressure. At the prescribed tempera-
ture 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.
