Pop-Up Nozzles

"POP-UP" Hollow Cone Nozzles

Fire suppression spray nozzles for clog-prone areas.

 

Something You Will Not Find Anywhere Else
"Pop-Up" nozzles provide a hollow cone spray pattern and are used for applications such as  fire and dust suppression due to their unique protected orifice design.  The orifice of these spray nozzles remains protected when not in use.  Under liquid pressure the orifice opens and a 180 degree hollow-cone pattern develops.

Closed  cracking open  fully open Why protect the orifice? 
Sometimes spray nozzles can become clogged if they are not used frequently, especially if they are installed in dusty or dirty environments.  The reliability of nozzles used for fire suppression and other critical applications is significantly increased if the orifice is protected.

The pictures to the left show the operation of a pop-up nozzle.   The unit pictured is a wall-mount design that has 1.25 NPT male connections on either end.  When installed the orifice will be flush with the inside of the vessel in which it is installed.  The orifice extends under liquid pressure.

The cracking pressure and how far the orifice opens is determined in-part upon your requirements.

Pop-Up nozzles offer a reliable and inexpensive way to protect the orifice and control flow.  If you have an application for Pop-Up nozzles please Email us an inquiry or press the inquiry button below.  View the nozzle index for descriptions of other nozzles that might be suitable for your application.
