GL SERIES DRY TYPE
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The Globe Series GL-SR/DRY Upright Sprinkler is designed for
use in special applications such as freezing environments. As an
example, they may be effi ciently used when connected to a wet
type sprinkler system and extended into an unheated attic space.
The Globe Series GL-SR/DRY 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 fl ows through the sprinkler and
is distributed by the defl ector, in the 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.
The GL Series Dry Sprinkler must not be installed in a
short radius 90° elbow. When installing in other than an
iron tee, the clearances between the end of the sprinkler and fi tting should be checked.
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.
