STANDARD RESPONSE

The Globe Standard Response GL Series Sprinklers are a low

proﬁ le yet durable design which utilizes a 5mm frangible glass

ampule as the thermosensitive element. While the Standard

Response Sprinkler provides an aesthetically pleasing appear-

ance, it can be installed wherever standard spray sprinklers are

speciﬁ ed when allowed by the applicable standards. It offers

the additional feature of greatly increased safety to life and is

available in various styles, oriﬁ ces, temperature ratings and ﬁ n-

ishes to meet varying design requirements. Standard 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 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 depending upon the deﬂ ector

style used.

The sprinkler and escutcheon are not factory assembled.

Assembly is done in the ﬁ eld.
