No, what he's saying is that there are no other heads designed for protecting windows/glass walls that are listed and tested to provide the equivalent protection of a 2 hour fire resistant wall.
Like it or not, so far only Tyco has such a head. Craig L.

"Cause there is nothing in the code that I am aware of that gives a rating with ordinary sprinklers at any spacing."
