The Tyco tests very conspicuously did not, nor does the listing include doors or moving casement windows. Fixed glass only, no horizontal mullions or bumps. The obvious being that the intent is to cool the glass and maintain separation, not water an opening in hopes of keeping fire and combustion byproduct from breaching it.

Actually, the only ways that I'm aware of are to use rated glass - VERY expensive - or window sprinklers. If you don't protect them, there's a limit to the maximum percentage of rated wall area that can be glazed openings, depending on whether it's one or two hours. Otherwise, to make an all-glass wall you would have to use sprinklers or rated glass block or glazing.

We know how to do unrated and know how to do non-glass.

So as long as you can prove that your sprinkler protection of the glazing provides a fire resistant rating equal to that of the wall, you're good to go. Craig L.

Prahl, CET "listed" appears to be the key word here. I just received a phone call from a representative of Tyco and in essence this sprinkler is better technology and is an option and not mandatory. Thank everyone for your response to my post. As usual they are a great help.
