Is the intent to provide a fire rating to the glass?
Without even wetting of all the glass it won't work. Anything that
disrupts the flow or causes inconsistent wetting across the glass
surface will cause thermal stress and make the glass break more easily.
I have some research on sprinklers on glass from Ireland and Canada in
the archives if you are interested.

We have a new school that has a three story atrium, and the Architect is asking for
us to protect the third floor glass with sprinklers place a maximum of 6' on center,
and not more than 12" off the glass.
I originally assumed that we would use the Tyco Window Sprinklers, but the
windows on this project has multiple horizontal mullions in the windows (4 or
5).lowed with the Tyco heads.
I was thinking of just deigning it as a Water Curtain, with the regular heads
at 6' on center, with 3 gpm per lineal foot.
Thoughts?
