“THE INCH”

QUICK RESPONSE
AUTOMATIC SPRINKLER
MODEL GL5606
ONE INCH ADJUSTABLE
FLAT PLATE CONCEALED PENDENT
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The Globe Quick Response GL5606 Adjustable Concealed Pendent Sprinkler has a low profile,
aesthetically pleasing design. It provides sprinkler operations approximately six times faster than
ordinary sprinklers and can be installed wherever standard concealed spray sprinklers are specified
when allowed by the applicable standards. This sprinkler offers the additional feature of greatly in-
creased safety to life and should be used advisedly and under the direction of approving authorities
having jurisdiction. The sprinkler is available with a nominal 1" of adjustment and a low profile cover
plate assembly. All that is seen at the ceiling is a 3 5/16" diameter ceiling plate or an optional 2 3/4"
diameter ceiling plate color finished to match the specifier's exact requirements. The GL Series
Concealed Sprinkler may be virtually invisible as it does not interrupt the "smooth flow" of the ceiling.
Globe's GL5606 Concealed Sprinkler utilizes a 3mm frangible glass ampule which is located above
the ceiling and concealed from view by the ceiling plate.
The provided protective cap needs to be removed in order to install the sprinkler with the proper
wrench. The protective cap must be replaced on the sprinkler until the time the cover plate is to be
installed. The "push on - screw off" designed cover plate is easily installed and with a nominal 1" of
adjustment makes it easier to get a proper fit at the ceiling.
Operation of the sprinkler occurs when heat build up causes the solder holding the cover plate
to the support shell to melt allowing the cover plate to fall clear. Continued heat build up causes the
3mm glass bulb to burst allowing the deflector to drop down and distribute water in an approved
pattern to extinguish or control the fire.
