DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The Globe Series GL-SR/DRY 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 Series GL-SR/DRY 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 fl ows through the sprinkler and
is distributed by the defl ector, in an approved discharge pattern.
The heart of Globe's Series GL-SR 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.

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.
