Product Details
- High temperature UV stabilized nylon spinner with flame retardant
- 316 stainless steel inlet shaft & nozzle
- Low maintenance bearing
- The Platypus Sprinkler can be installed during construction of new homes and buildings so that the pipework can be concealed or in the case of existing dwellings and buildings, they can be easily and cost effectively retrofitted with exposed pipework.
- The Platypus Sprinkler has a twin outlet head that spins on a central shaft. The design of the head ensures water droplets spray out and down from the sprinkler head and water is sprayed in a full circle pattern.
A unique feature of the Platypus Sprinkler is it doesn’t have an outer support frame around the spinner. This ensures the water stream is not broken and therefore the concentration of large droplets dispersed is higher and less wind affected – this means more water stays on the building. Other sprinklers that have an outer support frame produce smaller droplets and mist – making them less effective. - The unique design features of the Platypus Sprinkler make it more effective in high winds that cause ember attack. We have eliminated the need for an outer support frame typically found on standard butterfly sprinklers. This frame is responsible for breaking down the stream of water through the sprinkler head into very small droplets. The smaller the water droplets the more likely they are to be affected by wind. The Platypus Sprinkler is designed to spray large water droplets, which are sprayed “out and down” like rain keeping the water close to the immediate structure and surrounding area.
- Note: We recommend using our flow control inserts at each sprinkler to ensure optimum performance
