Availability: InStock

The 68°C glass bulb sprinkler head is a commonly used fire protection device that responds to moderate temperature increases in commercial, industrial, and residential settings. It utilizes a heat-sensitive glass bulb filled with liquid that expands when exposed to heat. At 68°C, the pressure causes the bulb to break, triggering the sprinkler to release water and suppress the fire. This temperature rating makes it ideal for use in ordinary hazard settings where the risk of high heat is present but not extreme.

The glass bulb sprinkler head is designed to be highly reliable and efficient. It provides quick activation when required, ensuring timely suppression of fires before they spread. Typically, these heads are used in areas such as office buildings, light industrial facilities, and storage spaces where temperatures do not exceed the sprinkler’s activation threshold.

Key features include:

Temperature Rating: 68°C (155°F) for activation
Design: Glass bulb element for heat sensitivity
Application: Suitable for light to ordinary hazard occupancies
Max Pressure: Can handle up to 175 psi (12 bar)
Mounting Type: Pendent (from the ceiling)

The glass bulb mechanism ensures that the sprinkler only activates when necessary, preventing unnecessary water discharge. It is UL-listed and FM-approved, ensuring it meets high safety standards for fire protection.
