GL1160
The Globe Standard Response GL1160 Pendent and
GL1167 Upright Sprinklers are intended for use in NFPA 13
Systems when installed in accordance with Control Mode Density
Area protection criteria as specifi ed in the NFPA 13 standard.
The GL1160 and GL1167 sprinklers have a low profi le yet
durable design which utilize a 5mm frangible glass ampule
as the thermosensitive element. While the sprinklers
provide an aesthetically pleasing appearance, they serve
to protect various area coverages. This sprinkler series
is available in pendent, and upright styles, and several
temperature ratings and finishes to meet varying design
requirements.
The heart of Globe's GL1160 and GL1167 sprinklers
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.
