GENERAL DESCRIPTION The GL4906 Adjustable Flat Plate Concealed pendent sprinkler is a decorative fast response glass bulb sprinkler specifically tested and Listed for use in residential applica- tions such as homes, apartments, hotels, and dormitories to provide control of these residential type fires and to improve the chance for occupants to escape. The GL4906 utilizes a 3mm frangible glass bulb as its heat sensing operating ele- ment. While providing the optimal aesthetic appeal with the low profile flat cover plate, the GL4906 additionally provides the largest vertical adjustment in the industry of a nominal 1”. This nominal 1” adjustment allows for previously unrec- ognized installation flexibility resulting in a clean and tight final “fit” to the ceiling. This sprinkler may be installed within dwelling occupancies as allowed by NFPA 13, 13D, 13R and any other related documents as appropriate. OPERATION The soldered cover plate drops off the retainer assembly when exposed to heat, as from a fire, that has reached the plate’s Listed temperature rating exposing the sprinkler above. Upon the releasing of the cover plate, the deflector, which is connected to two guide pins, drops down below the ceiling into its intended position. As heat encompasses the glass bulb operating element of the sprinkler, the fluid in the bulb expands, compressing the air bubble within the bulb. When the air bubble can no longer compress, the fluid expansion causes breakage of the glass bulb, resulting in release of the water seat assembly, and discharge of water from the sprinkler.

APRIL 2019 GFS-360 PAGE 3 of 4 CARE AND MAINTENANCE Step 1. Install pendent sprinklers in the pendent position, with the centerline of the sprinkler perpendicular to the mounting surface. Step 2. Remove the Protective Cap. Step 3. With pipe-thread sealant applied to the pipe threads, and using the Concealed Sprinkler Wrench P/N 332765 (FIGURE 6), install and tighten the Sprinkler/Concealed Cup Assembly into the fitting. Step 4. Replace the Protective Cap by pushing it upwards until it bottoms out against the Sup- port Cup. The Protective Cap helps prevent damage to the Deflector and Drop Pins during ceiling installation and/or during application of the finish coating of the ceiling. NOTICE: The system is considered Out of Service when the protective caps are in place. Step 5. After the ceiling has been completed with the 2-3/4” (70mm) diameter hole, remove and discard the Protective Cap and verify that the Deflector moves up and down freely. If the sprinkler has been damaged or the deflector does not move up and down freely, replace the entire sprinkler assembly. Do not attempt to modify or repair. Step 6. Push on the Cover Plate Assembly until its flange contacts the ceiling. Never attempt to screw on the Cover Plate Assembly such that it lifts a ceiling panel out of its normal posi- tion. If the Cover Plate Assembly cannot be engaged with the Mounting Cup or the Cover Plate Assembly cannot be engaged sufficient- ly to contact the ceiling, the Sprinkler Fitting must be repositioned. Always obtain permission from the proper authorities to shut down the affected fire protection system and notify all personnel who may be affected by this action before closing a fire protection system main control valve for maintenance work on the system that it controls. Sprinklers should only be cleaned by means of gently dusting with a feather dust- er; otherwise, non-operation in the event of a fire or inadver- tent operation may result. When properly installed, there is a nominal 1/8” (3mm) air gap between the Cover Plate and the ceiling (FIGURE 1). This air gap is necessary for proper operation of the sprin- kler by allowing heat flow from a fire to pass below and above the Cover Plate to help assure appropriate release of the Cover Plate in a fire situation. This annular “gap” must be maintained and should never be sealed or caulked. Factory painted Cover Plates must not be repainted. In accordance with NFPA 25, Sprinklers which are found to be leaking or exhibiting visible signs of corrosion must be replaced. Automatic sprinklers must never be painted, plated, coated, or otherwise altered after leaving the factory. Care must be exercised to avoid damage to the sprinklers– before, during, and after installation. Sprinklers damaged by dropping, striking, wrench slippage, or similar incidents, must be replaced. The owner is responsible for the inspection, testing, and maintenance of their fire protection system and devices in compliance with this document, as well as with the appli- cable standards of the National Fire Protection Association (e.g. NFPA 25), in addition to the standards of any other authorities having jurisdiction. Refer to Globe’s Residential Installation Guide for further Care and Maintenance information. NOTICE Do not install any bulb-type sprinkler if the bulb is cracked or there is loss of liquid from the bulb. Sprinklers should be tightened enough to obtain a leak-tight joint when water pressure is applied and/or hydrostatic test is performed. Sprinklers should not be overtightened as this can result in distortion and subsequent leak-age. It is recommended not to exceed 14 ft.-lb. (19.0 Nm) torque for 1/2 inch NPT sprinkler threads.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION The series GL-RES pendent sprinklers are decorative fast response glass bulb sprinklers specifically tested and List- ed for use in residential applications such as homes, apart- ments, hotels, and dormitories to provide control of these residential type fires and to improve the chance for occu- pants to escape. They utilize a 3mm frangible glass bulb as its heat sensing operating element. The recessed version of each of these Residential Sprinklers is intended for use in areas with finished ceilings. It employs a two-piece Re- cessed Escutcheon. The Recessed Escutcheon provides a total adjustment of 1/2 inch (12.7mm) from the flush ceiling position or ±1/4 inch (6.4mm) of recessed adjustment. The adjustment provided by the Recessed Escutcheon reduces the accuracy to which the pipe drops to the sprinklers must be cut. This sprinkler may be installed within dwelling occupancies as allowed by NFPA 13, 13D, 13R and any other related documents as appropriate. The GL3010 is typically utilized when maximum coverag- es are not needed, thereby reducing flow demands. The GL5610 is typically the sprinkler of choice when utilizing Residential Sprinklers within an NFPA 13 Occupancy. The larger K-factor can be advantageous when needed to con- form to the NFPA 13 hydraulic Special Design Approach for Residential Sprinklers. OPERATION Upon exposure to heat such as from a fire, the fluid in the bulb expands, compressing the air bubble within the bulb. When the air bubble can no longer compress, the fluid ex- pansion causes breakage of the glass bulb, resulting in re- lease of the water seat assembly, and discharge of water from the sprinkler.

INSTALLATION CARE AND MAINTENANCE Prior to installation, it is important to read and follow the “Sprinkler Caution” sheet (GFS-840) included within each box of sprinklers. This sheet is available on Globe’s web site (www.globesprinkler.com). Always obtain permission from the proper authorities to shut down the affected fire protection system and notify all personnel who may be affected by this action before closing a fire protection system main control valve for maintenance work on the system that it controls. Sprinklers should only be cleaned by means of gently dust- ing with a feather duster; otherwise, non-operation in the event of a fire or inadvertent operation may result. Store sprinklers in a cool, dry place. Exposure to extreme heat will damage the thermal sensing element, possibly re- sulting in premature activation. Avoid direct sunlight. Replace any sprinkler that shows any corrosion, damage, or loss of liquid from the glass bulb. Do not attempt to paint or alter the sprinkler’s coating in any manner after leaving the manufacturing plant. Do not attach wiring, ropes, decorations or fixtures to a sprinkler. Absence of an escutcheon, used to cover a ceiling hole, may delay sprinkler operation in a fire situation. It is the owner’s responsibility for inspection, testing and maintenance of the fire sprinkler system with all components and devices in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association Pamphlet 25 as well as any other requirements as set forth by the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).

A GFS-332 PAGE 3 of 4 NOTICE Do not install any bulb-type sprinkler if the bulb is cracked or there is loss of liquid from the bulb. Sprinklers should be tightened enough to obtain a leak-tight joint when water pressure is applied and/or hydrostatic test is performed. Sprinklers should not be overtightened as this can result in distortion and subsequent leak-age. It is recommended not to exceed 14 ft.-lb. (19.0 Nm) torque for 1/2 inch NPT sprinkler threads. FIGURE 2: STANDARD WRENCH P/N 325390 4077 Airpark Dr. Standish, MI 48658 • 989-846-4583 • www.globesprinkler.com Technical Support • 989-414-2600 • techservice@globesprinkler.com CARE AND MAINTENANCE Step1. Sprinklers must be properly oriented. Step2. With pipe thread sealant applied to the pipe threads, hand tighten the sprinkler into the sprin- kler fitting. Note: Do not grasp the sprinkler by the deflector. Step3. Wrench-tighten the sprinkler using only the appropriate wrench. Wrenches are only to be applied to the sprinkler wrench flats or wrench hex as applicable. Note: Do not apply wrench to frame arms. INSTALLATION Prior to installation, it is important to read and follow the “Sprinkler Caution” sheet (GFS-840) included within each box of sprinklers. This sheet is available on Globe’s web site (www.globesprinkler.com). Always obtain permission from the proper authorities to shut down the affected fire protection system and notify all personnel who may be affected by this action before closing a fire protection system main control valve for maintenance work on the system that it controls. Sprinklers should only be cleaned by means of gently dust- ing with a feather duster; otherwise, non-operation in the event of a fire or inadvertent operation may result. Store sprinklers in a cool, dry place. Exposure to extreme heat will damage the thermal sensing element, possibly re- sulting in premature activation. Avoid direct sunlight. Replace any sprinkler that shows any corrosion, damage, or loss of liquid from the glass bulb. Do not attempt to paint or alter the sprinkler’s coating in any manner after leaving the manufacturing plant. Do not attach wiring, ropes, decorations or fixtures to a sprinkler. Absence of an escutcheon, used to cover a ceiling hole, may delay sprinkler operation in a fire situation. It is the owner’s responsibility for inspection, testing and maintenance of the fire sprinkler system with all components and devices in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association Pamphlet 25 as well as any other requirements as set forth by the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).

The RD13 Riser incorporates a VSR-SG flow switch, gauge, and drain/test valve. The VSR-SG flow switch is equipped with union connection to facilitate the installation and removal of the switch in confined spaces. Installation 1. Using appropriate sealant, thread the female adapter on to the main water supply. Then glue the riser assembly to the female adapter. Pipe the drain connection to an adequate drain location capable of handling the drain discharge. The riser can be mounted in the horizontal or vertical position. Direction of flow is indicated in Fig. 1. The waterflow switch must be located on the top or on the side of the pipe when installed in the horizontal position. This will prevent debris from entering the throat of the waterflow switch which could interfere with proper operation. 2. Following CPVC manufacturer’s instructions for preparation and gluing of CPVC piping systems, glue the main riser to the main supply line for the sprinkler heads. NOTE: All glued connections must be completed and cured before the flowswitch is installed. (Continued on page 2).

The retard and switch assembly are easily field replaceable. In the unlikely event that either component does not perform properly, please order replacement retard switch assembly stock number 1029030. There is no maintenance required, only periodic testing and inspection.. Removal • To prevent accidental water damage, all control valves should be shut tight and the system completely drained before waterflow detectors are removed or replaced. • Turn off electrical power to the detector, then disconnect wiring. • Loosen nut on union fitting. • Lift detector clear of pipe. Retard Adjustment The delay can be adjusted by rotating the retard adjustment knob from 0 to the max setting (60-90 seconds). The time delay should be set at the minimum required to prevent false alarms. Important: The paddles have raised lettering that show the pipe size and the TEE manufacturer they are to be used with. The proper paddle must be used. The paddle must be properly attached and the screw that holds the paddle must be securely tightened. Fig 1 Installation (Continued) 3. A thread sealant shall be used in making threaded connections. Teflon® thread tape is the recommended sealant. Some thread sealants other than Teflon thread tape contain solvents or other materials that may be damaging to CPVC. For other types of thread sealants, which have been specifically investigated and confirmed to be “System Compatible”, refer to www.spearsmfg.com. Attach gauge to riser. Apply Teflon® tape to male fitting of gauge only. See Fig 1. 4. Check to make sure the proper paddle is installed on the switch. (Paddle size must match the riser pipe size and Tee manufacture.) 5. Install the flow switch to the RD13 Riser. Verify that the o-ring is properly positioned in its groove. Hand tighten the nut to the union after orienting the flow switch in the appropriate direction to detect waterflow. The paddle must not rub the inside of the Tee or bind in any way. The stem should move freely when operated by hand. See Fig. 1. NOTE: Do not leave switch cover off for an extended period of time. 6. The side of flow switch must be perpendicular with the riser piping. See Fig. 3. Testing The frequency of inspection and testing for the Model VSR-SG and its associated protective monitoring system, should be in accordance with applicable Codes and Standards and/or the authority having jurisdiction (manufacturer recommends quarterly or more frequently.) If provided, the inspector’s test valve (usually located at the end of the most remote branch line) should be used for test purposes. If there is no remote inspection test connection; a short length of hose may be connected to the discharge of the 1” drain line valve, or if the drain line is connected to a drain such as a slop sink or storm drain that will sufficiently handle the discharge of the main drain valve. The drain valve can be used to test the operation of the VSR-SG switch. A minimum flow of 10 GPM (38 LPM) is required to activate this switch. An orifice equal to the smallest sprinkler head orifice used in the system shall be attached to the drain line for testing purposes.

Potter Electric Signal Company, LLC • St. Louis, MO • Phone: 866-956-1211/Canada 888-882-1833 • www.pottersignal.com General Information The Model VSR is a vane type waterflow switch for use on wet sprinkler systems. It is UL Listed for use on a steel pipe; schedules 5 through 40, sizes 2" - 6" and is UL Listed and FM Approved for use on steel pipe; schedules 10 through 40, sizes 2" thru 8" (50 mm thru 200 mm). LPC approved sizes are 2" thru 8" (50 mm thru 200 mm). See Ordering Information chart. The VSR may also be used as a sectional waterflow detector on large systems. The VSR contains two single pole, double throw, snap action switches and an adjustable, instantly recycling pneumatic retard. The switches are actuated when a flow of 10 GPM (38 LPM) or more occurs downstream of the device. The flow condition must exist for a period of time necessary to overcome the selected retard period. Enclosure The VSR switches and retard device are enclosed in a general purpose, die-cast housing. The cover is held in place with two tamper resistant screws which require a special key for removal. A field installable cover tamper switch is available as an option which may be used to indicate unauthorized removal of the cover. See bulletin number 5401103 for installation instructions of this switch. Important: This document contains important information on the installation and operation of the VSR waterflow switches. Please read all instructions carefully before beginning installation. A copy of this document is required by NFPA 72 to be maintained on site. PRINTED IN USA MFG. #5401146 - REV M 11/15 PAGE 2 OF 4 VSR VANE TYPE WATERFLOW ALARM SWITCH WITH RETARD Installation (see Fig. 1) These devices may be mounted on horizontal or vertical pipe. On horizontal pipe they shall be installed on the top side of the pipe where they will be accessible. The device should not be installed within 6" (15 cm) of a fitting which changes the direction of the waterflow or within 24" (60 cm) of a valve or drain. NOTE: Do not leave cover off for an extended period of time. Drain the system and drill a hole in the pipe using a hole saw in a slow speed drill (see Fig. 1). Clean the inside pipe of all growth or other material for a distance equal to the pipe diameter on either side of the hole. Roll the vane so that it may be inserted into the hole; do not bend or crease it. Insert the vane so that the arrow on the saddle points in the direction of the waterflow. Take care not to damage the non-corrosive bushing in the saddle. The bushing should fit inside the hole in the pipe. Install the saddle strap and tighten nuts alternately to required torque (see the chart in Fig. 1). The vane must not rub the inside of the pipe or bind in any way.

The wire must be severed, thereby providing supervision of the connection in the event that the wire become dislodged from under the terminal. Failure to sever the wire may render the device inoperable risking severe property damage and loss of life. Do not strip wire beyond 3/8" of length or expose an uninsulated conductor beyond the edge of the terminal block. When using stranded wire, capture all strands under the clamping plate. Notes: 1. The Model VSR has two switches, one can be used to operate a central station, proprietary or remote signaling unit, while the other contact is used to operate a local audible or visual annunciator. 2.

With your fingers, roll the vane so it will fit through the hole while continuing to lift the waterflow detector saddle. • Lift detector clear of pipe. Fig. 8 Retard/Switch Assembly Replacement (See Fig. 8) The Retard/Switch Assembly is field-replaceable without draining the system or removing the waterflow switch from the pipe 1. Make sure the fire alarm zone or circuit connected to the waterflow switch is bypassed or otherwise taken out of service. 2. Disconnect the power source for local bell (if applicable). 3. Identify and remove all wires from the waterflow switch. 4. Remove the (2) mounting screws holding retard/switch assembly to the base. Do not remove the (2) retard housing screws. 5. Remove the retard assembly by lifting it straight up over the tripstem. 6. Install the new retard assembly. Make sure the locating pins on the retard/switch assembly fit into the locating pin bosses on the base. 7. Re-install the (2) original mounting screws. 8. Reconnect all wires. Perform a flow test and place the system back in service. Maintenance Inspect detectors monthly. If leaks are found, replace the detector. The VSR waterflow switch should provide years of trouble-free service. The retard and switch assembly are easily field replaceable. In the unlikely event that either component does not perform properly, please order replacement retard switch assembly stock #1029030 (see Fig. 8). There is no maintenance required, only periodic testing and inspection. DWG# 1146-10 BREAK OUT THIN SECTION OF COVER WHEN WIRING BOTH SWITCHES FROM ONE CONDUIT ENTRANCE.
