The Lotus brass spray nozzle has a large central jet surrounded by 5 narrower jets. The angle of all jets can be adjusted by simply loosening the brass nut and adjusting the base of each jet then re-tightening to lock the nozzle. The jets can be aimed vertically to create a narrower display or the 5 side jets can be angled out to increase diameter and create a more decorative pattern.
All nozzles have FNPT threaded ends to connection to plumbing/piping.
The final height of your Lotus spray nozzle pattern will depend on the pump flow and the size of the nozzle chosen. Ensure that the hose or PVC tubing that connects your pump to the nozzle is a sufficient diameter. Always try to use a pipe with the same diameter as the nozzle to minimize loss of flow from pipe friction.
The following chart is an approximate detailing of various spray heights with various pump flows at required head rating. Ensure your pump gives the recommended flow at the specified head (height).
