SPRINKLER ACCESSORIES TECHNICAL TCE

📄 Technical Data Sheet – Sprinkler Accessories

1. Overview

Sprinkler accessories comprise vital system components like nozzles, filters, risers, and sprinkler guards. Together, they enhance water distribution accuracy, prevent clogging, and ensure efficient operation in landscape and agricultural irrigation systems.

2. Key Accessory Categories

a. Nozzles (Spray & Rotor)

  • Function: Attach to sprinkler heads to deliver precise spray patterns and flow rates.

  • Specifications:

    • Orifice sizes from 2.0 mm to 8.0 mm

    • Typical flow rates: 200–1,500 L/h (pressure-dependent)

    • Pressure range: 1.5–4 bar

    • Materials: UV-resistant plastic, brass, or nylon

  • Features:

    • Interchangeable color-coded nozzles for easy flow/trajectory adjustments

    • Adjustable arcs (quarter to full circle coverage) for targeted watering

b. Filters (Protect Spray Nozzles)

  • Function: Prevent clogging of nozzles by intercepting debris before it enters the system.

  • Types:

    • Mesh screens (80–200 mesh / 75–200 µm)

    • Self-cleaning filters (for overhead or ground-level use)

  • Benefits:

    • Prolong service life of nozzles and sprinkler heads

    • Maintain uniform water distribution

c. Risers & Fittings

  • Function: Provide proper elevation and connectivity for spray or rotor heads above the ground.

  • Specs:

    • Standard riser sizes: 3/4″, 1″ male or female thread

    • Adjustable or fixed height (25–100 mm above soil)

  • Materials: PP, PVC, fiberglass-reinforced nylon

d. Guards & Caps

  • Function: Shield sprinkler heads from damage (e.g. lawn equipment, foot traffic).

  • Designs:

    • Inline caps or dome guards for rotors/sprays

    • Made from durable steel or plastic

  • Approvals: UL/FM listed (fire-sprinkler-specific shields)

4. Installation & Maintenance Tips

  • Nozzles: Select orifice based on required radius and flow; install with proper filters upstream.

  • Filters: Clean meshes regularly; use self-cleaning filters in systems with sandy or dirty water.

  • Risers: Ensure correct thread size and waterproof sealing; riser height should clear vegetation level.

  • Guards: Fit snugly without impeding spray pattern; verify UL/FM listing for protective applications.

5. Applications

  • Residential and commercial lawns

  • Sports fields and parks

  • Orchard and vineyard sprinkler networks

  • Greenhouse overhead cooling systems

6. Benefits

  • Ensures uniform water distribution

  • Prevents clogging and damage to key irrigation components

  • Enhances system durability and efficiency

  • Easy to maintain, modular, and adaptable to varied irrigation needs
