About the Evaporative Mist Cooling flexible pipe line
The Evaporative Mist Cooling flexible pipe line operates at the pressure normally found in homes, without the need for expensive pumps, clamps or glue. The 3/8” Evaporative Mist Cooling flexible pipe line is generally used as the main lateral or the supply line in outdoor misting systems installation in commercial or residential applications. The 3/8” pipe should be installed 8 feet or higher above the ground for the best result.
To create your own microclimate, follow these instructions to install the pipe.
- Lay out the Evaporative Mist Cooling flexible pipe line at a height of 8′ or higher and use “C” clamps every 2′ to 5′ to secure the misting-line pipe to the structure.
- At the location where the first fogger is to be placed, use a punch tool to create a hole in the misting pipe line pipe at a 90° to 120° angle to the ground.
- Insert the barbed end of the fogger into the hole. Continue using the same method to install each of the remaining foggers you have.
- Turn the water on to flush the line and then use the misting pipe line end to close the end.
- Turn the water on again and test the system making sure that each fogger is operating correctly.
- To automate the system, install a misting timer that can operate for a limited time through the day for a short cycle, such as every 2 to 5 minutes for 30 to 50 seconds.
