Rain-Jet Micro Mist Nozzle 180D 1.3m 10 Pack

The Rain-Jet Micro Mist Nozzle (180°) is a precision-engineered irrigation component designed for low-volume, fine-mist application. Engineered for delicate garden beds, greenhouses, and seedling trays, these nozzles provide a controlled "half-circle" spray pattern that minimizes soil erosion and leaf damage in the Heidelberg - GP region.

Technical Specifications

• Spray Pattern: 180° (Half-Circle) — Ideal for borders and edges.
• Spray Radius: 1.3m (At standard operating pressure).
• Orifice Size: Micro-fine misting port.
• Connection Type: 4mm Threaded / Press-fit (Compatible with standard micro-drip tubing).
• Operating Pressure: 1.0 to 2.5 Bar.
• Pack Quantity: 10 Nozzles per pack.

Key Performance Features

• Targeted Edge Irrigation: The 180 trajectory allows you to water right up to the edge of a walkway or building foundation without wasting water on the paving—a critical feature for water conservation during the dry Winter 2026 months.
• Ultra-Fine Mist: Produces a soft, fog-like spray that gently hydrates sensitive foliage and germinating seeds without the "beating" effect of a standard Kaufmann Brass Sprinkler.
• Evaporative Cooling: The fine misting action can lower the ambient temperature in a localized area by several degrees, providing relief for delicate plants during the intense Gauteng summer heat.
• Clog-Resistant Design: Manufactured from UV-stabilized high-grade plastic, the internal vortex chamber is designed to keep particles in suspension to reduce blockages from fine red Heidelberg dust.
• Modular Versatility: Easily integrates into existing micro-irrigation manifolds and can be mounted on Rain-Jet risers or directly into 13mm/15mm lateral supply lines.

Professional Installation & Tips

• Filtration is Key: Because of the micro-fine orifice, these nozzles are highly sensitive to sediment. Always install a Screen Filter Element (120 Mesh) at the start of your irrigation line to prevent sand from the borehole or JoJo Tank from clogging the misting ports.
• Pressure Regulation: If your Pascali Pump provides high pressure, use a Rain-Jet Pressure Regulator to bring the line down to 1.5 Bar. Excessive pressure will turn the mist into a "fog" that drifts away in the Heidelberg wind.
• Correct Spacing: For uniform "head-to-head" coverage along a flower bed border, space these nozzles every 1.2m to 1.3m. This ensures there are no dry spots between the 180∘ fans.
• Flushing the Line: Before clicking the nozzles into your lateral pipe, run the water for 1 minute to flush out any plastic shavings or dirt introduced during installation.
• Winter Maintenance: Before the first frost of Winter 2026, walk your lines and check for lime-scale buildup. If a nozzle is "spitting" rather than misting, soak it in a mixture of water and Revet Sodium Bicarbonate to dissolve mineral deposits.

Common Use Cases

• Nursery Trays: Gently watering new seedlings and cuttings.
• Border Beds: Watering plants along house walls without wetting the brickwork.
• Greenhouses: Maintaining humidity levels for tropical plants.
• Fernery / Shade Houses: Creating a cool, damp micro-climate for moisture-loving species.

Pro Tip: If you find the 1.3m radius is too wide for a narrow planter box, you can "choke" the flow slightly by installing a Rain-Jet Micro-Valve just before the nozzle. During the busy Easter 2026 garden preparation, use a Kaufmann Hose Connector to bridge your main garden hose to your micro-drip system for a quick and easy temporary watering solution. Always ensure your Speroni Intelligent Control Box is set to monitor for "low flow" if these are the only emitters on your pump line.
