Re: Sprinkler nozzles

There are two place's that I know of that have what you need. The first is "Automatic Rain" in Napa California. 255-2575-3229.  They have Misters of varying gallon amounts. The one's I saw in the store were 7gph and threaded into a 3/8" opening on a specially designed pvc slip " T ".  They were a little expensive at $3.50 each including the " T ".

A cheaper way to go is with 1/2gph misters from Garden Drip Irrigation, Tucson, Az, 520-292-1134. They have both barb type for the black tubing or self tapping thread type that can be used on sprinkler risers or threaded directly into plain 1/2" pvc pipe. They are $16.56 per dozen.
Both clog very easy so you will need a good filter at the beginning of the line.

Good Luck,

Can anyone recommend an overhead sprinkler that will mist the air during the heat of the day, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., for cooling the pumpkin vines and leaves?I don’t want to drench and wilt the plants in the hot sunshine, but would rather broadcast a low volume, less than 10 gallon per hour, over a wide area.Note that I spoke to two technicians at Rainbird.The first referred me to another company’s 800 line that was out of service.The second technician didn’t have a clue and kept suggesting 4 gallon per minute impulse sprinklers or heavy drenching lawn sprinklers.I would be most appreciative if someone could list brand names, model numbers, flow rates, and how you’ve applied the technique.
