A-69 "The Inch" One Inch Adjustable Concealed Pendent - GL5653

"The Inch" Model GL5653 One Inch Adjustable Concealed Pendent

Description and Operation

The Globe GL5653 Adjustable Concealed Pendent Sprinkler has a low profile, aesthetically pleasing design. It offers the additional feature of greatly increased 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 2¾" 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 Concealed Sprinkler utilizes its 5mm 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" inch 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 5mm glass bulb to burst allowing the deflector to drop down and distribute water in an approved pattern to extinguish or control the fire.
