About Globe Fire Sprinkler
Globe Fire Sprinkler has been a family-owned fire sprinkler manufacturer with 105 years of continuous production of sprinklers and valves. The Globe name has persisted in its enduring identity since the introduction of the first Globe Issue “A” Sprinkler in 1914. Globe developed the earliest lever-fulcrum dry pipe valve, Globe Save All center strut sprinklers, and eventually became the first US company to utilize 5mm and 3mm Glass Bulbs in its commercial and residential sprinklers. Globe’s heritage as a leading sprinkler manufacturer is reflected in the introductions of the RCW, UM, UMC valves, and other new products the company develops to meet the demands of the world market.
