How can I tell if I own this product?
Model J Series dry fire sprinklers come in pendent, upright, and sidewall configurations. The name Globe, the letter J and the year of manufacture (1990 though 1999) are embossed on the frame of each sprinkler. These dry sprinklers were designed to be installed in areas of buildings where the sprinklers or water supply pipes may be subject to freezing, such as unheated attics, freezers and coolers, parking garages, porches and warehouses.
These items were sold new+ at Fire protection contractors nationwide from January 1990 through December 1999 for between $27 and $36 per sprinkler head.
