If that happens what's the problem? If FD is on the scene and attacking the fire then most likely occupants are out, hose streams are in play and sprinklers at the glass are a non-issue. What about the other sprinklers, are they active?

Not how to install the head per the listing. A manual system would be more dependable than a closed head system with no heat collection. Here's a what if. What if there's a fire, the glass gets hot and fire department hits the glass with a hose stream before the window sprinkler has activated.

The data sheet states that the advantages are its ability to wet the entire glass and the quick activation time. Well, that quick activation time is a mystery to me because the data states that there is no specific distance below the ceiling, just below the mullion. I put this question of ceiling to defector distance to the Tyco representive that phoned me yesterday and he had no info on what is the max. or min. distance. So, activation time due to heat build up from the ceiling down is not an issue. What's so different about the fusible element that makes its activation time so different from the standard glass bulb I wonder?
