Nozzles and spare parts

What a nozzle does

A nozzle takes water under pressure, forces it through a very narrow orifice and spreads it in a cone. Instead of leaving as a straight jet, the water leaves as broken-up droplets. Whatever result a misting system gives, it comes out of here.

High pressure nozzles are, as the name says, built to work at high pressure. They produce a far finer fog, and because that fog evaporates before it reaches a surface, it does not wet the space.

How a nozzle is chosen

What determines the right nozzle:

• Are there people in the area, or product? Where there are people, the fog must not reach a surface.
• Ceiling or pergola height. This sets how much travel the fog has in which to disperse.
• The climate of the region. Dry air and humid air do not lead to the same choice.
• The purpose. Cooling, humidification and dust suppression each call for different nozzles.
• The pump feeding it. The nozzle has to be matched to the high pressure pump that will supply it.

That is why we make the selection once we have the dimensions, rather than working from a catalogue. A badly chosen nozzle will prevent you getting the result you wanted even with good equipment everywhere else.

Parts we supply

We also supply parts for systems we did not install:

• High pressure nozzles, including anti-drip options
• Filters and filter cartridges
• High pressure tubing and line materials
• Clamps and clips, and nozzle carriers
• Fittings: unions, elbows, end caps
• High pressure pumps and control panels

Nozzle prices

Nozzle prices vary with the type, the body material and the pressure class. There is also a difference between a single purchase and buying for an entire line.

The nozzle is the most economical component of a misting system; even replacing a whole line does not amount to a significant cost. Tell us what you need on 0507 492 02 04 and we will identify the right product and price it.

Clogged nozzles

The most common problem with nozzles is clogging. The usual cause is limescale and sediment in the water, and it can be almost entirely prevented with the right filtration and seasonal maintenance.

We have written a step-by-step guide on clearing a clogged misting nozzle, or you can use our maintenance and service.
