Platypus Roof Sprinklers
Platypus Roof Sprinklers
Platypus roof sprinklers offer an affordable and simple way to install water-based fire protection for your home. Sprinkler heads can be mounted along the roof fascia and/or ridgeline. Water flow under pressure from a pump is forced from the dual outlet spinner in a 360° spray pattern. The water placed around the building will dampen any wind driven flame or embers.
- Nozzle sizes available: 2.5mm (most commonly used) and 3.2mm
- 316 stainless steel inlet, shaft and nozzle.
- Fits 1/2″ BSP thread.
Please Note: A Flow Control Insert is included with the order of a Platypus Sprinkler Head
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.
