Cheap spray ring

Cheap spray ring?

Spray rings as they are called are a pipe in a circular shape with small nozzles attached to it. Each nozzle is pointing inwards at a specific angle, the angle depends on the diameter of the ring.

How ever a commercial spray ring is very expensive so I have come up with this one, in  total it will not be really really cheap, but its very much less than a commercial ring (about 1 tenth of the price)

The hardest part with a spray ring is the making the ring itself, so  why not have a spray octagon?

Spray "ring" in day

Spray "ring" at night

The whole thing is made from 40 mm plastic push fit "waste pipe" to get more of a round shape instead of using 4 x 90 degree corners I used 8 x  45 degree angles, each angle piece is separated by a short length of strait pipe.

"ring" with 2 komet nozzles

and supporting "foot"

"ring" using 45 degree bends

In each piece of strait pipe  i fitted a komet nozzle A suitably size hole is drilled into the pipe and the komet nozzle screwed in, to give the ring support, i fitted 4 x T pieces, each T piece downward pipe is then fitted with a T piece for stability, which is capped off.

Another hole is drilled on the side of one of the legs and this was then connected to a pump, switch on, get soaked adjusting the angle of the nozzles.

The complete "ring"

The parts

Plastic push fit pipe, 45 degree bends, T's, ends all available from any good diy superstore (eg, base home, Q & B) the komet nozzles are available here

The total price depends on size of ring and number of nozzles, this one has 12 of the smaller nozzles (3-5 T)

Please also note the height of your jets will depend on  the size of pump that you use, diameter of pipe (you can use 32 mm) size and quantity of nozzles.
