Versatile square pattern nozzles

August 17, 2023/in News, Press Release/by Admin

Versatile square pattern nozzles: The Rain Bird range of SQ Series Square Pattern Nozzles has been extended with the addition of the ¾ Square Pattern version.

These highly efficient and precise low-volume spray nozzles are ideal for irrigating difficult corners and small areas such as narrow planting beds, shrub islands within residential, commercial or public landscapes and around pedestrian walkways. The new ¾ Square Pattern is particularly suitable for surface watering the perimeter of trees and shrubs whilst avoiding the trunk.

Versatile square pattern nozzles

The 1.4–3.5 bar SQ Series is pressure compensated and the square spray pattern offers efficient and virtually mist free controlled irrigation. This means optimum coverage for non-turf watering applications and reduced risk of overspray and potential damage to adjacent areas. The patented nozzle design gives the irrigation system designer or installer the option of 0.8 or 1.2 metre throws from one SQ nozzle and flow rates from 22.7 to 90.8 l/hour.

From an installation design and layout viewpoint, the edge-to-edge pattern capability of the SQ Series ensures full coverage of an area and reduces the need for overlap. The number of nozzles required is therefore reduced, not only simplifying designs and decreasing material costs, but also significantly reducing installation times.

In additon to the new ¾ Square Pattern nozzle, the SQ Series is available for quarter, half and full irrigating patterns.These can be used individually or combined in multiple ways to provide the exact coverage and flow rates required for an installation, whilst accommodating any future expansion of the area to be irrigated. The nozzles can be fitted directly on to a variety of spray heads or risers with adapters and accessories available too.

With fewer nozzles needed and the high levels of efficiency and control that they provide, the versatile SQ Series can typically provide up to 65% water savings when compared with using alternative nozzle designs.

The company’s leading experts will be on hand at GroundsFest to explain how some of the following products could make a difference to your sports turf projects.

Mansil Silica Sand Sports Range

Sourced from the company’s Two Oaks Quarry in Mansfield where the Mansil range of Silica Sands is produced. These products are predominantly used in the construction and maintenance of a wide range of sports surfaces – from winter sports pitches, golf courses, bowling greens and all amenity turf areas.

Fibresand

A pure sand and polypropylene fibre reinforcement product that is particularly advantageous when grass cover has been reduced due to heavy usage and wear during the winter period. Incorporated into an upper sand soil rootzone and consolidated to provide a stable divot-free environment.

Fibre Reinforced Rootzone

A range of Fibre Reinforced Rootzones developed to obtain greater use from natural turf surfaces whilst maintaining the high standards demanded by today’s sports industry and meeting the expectations of ground staff at all levels. Mansfield Sand’s fibre reinforcement technology provides stability and durability to all sand dominated Rootzones allowing the pitch to remain free draining and consistent over the whole surface.

Sand Soil Rootzones

Mansfield Sand understands exactly what is needed to achieve the surface that turf managers require week-in-week-out and that is why their rootzones contain only the best quality materials to meet that demand. For renovation or construction, the company’s superior rootzone blend Mansil 40 Silica Sand with a quality screened topsoil, guarantees the perfect start.

Sand Compost Rootzones

A range of premium quality sand organic material blends which are perfect for creating a rootzone where an organic rich material is required within the profile, aiding in the retention of nutrients whilst providing increased drought resistance.

Top Dressing

Produced for the fine turf market, Mansfield Sand’s Soil Top Dressing is a manufactured homogenous product made from their own premium silica sands combined with top quality soils. All passed through a sterilising unit, over a 3mm screen to produce an easy to spread, stone and pebble free dressing.

Mansfield Sand can also produce bespoke dressing blends and combine soil amendments into any product.
