HOW
TO SELECT & SIZE A NETAFIM SPRINKLER SYSTEM FOR BENCH CROPS
 |
Visualize
the greenhouse.
Netafim
avoids the problems of the traditional sprinkler layout.
Netafim sprinklers achieve a very high level of uniformity within a
closely spaced 'strip of sprinklers'. By designing these
'strips' laid out side-by-side, large areas can be covered
uniformly. Visualize where the 'strips' should be (individual
bench, 1/2 a bay, etc.) and evaluate the location of obstacles such
as curtains or hanging baskets. |
|
|
Select
a Sprinkler Head. Make your
decision based on the following: the application
(Misting or Watering); the 'Strip Width'; and the height
of the sprinkler. See Chart Below. |

Select
a Sprinkler Base. Appropriate for
the type of pipe used to supply water to the sprinklers -
Polyethylene (recommended), or rigid pipe (PVC or aluminum). |
|
|
Size
the Sprinkler Supply Pipe. Use
the chart below to select the correct sprinkler supply pipe
size. Low Density Polyethylene is strongly recommended.
PVC can be used with precautions taken to prevent light penetration
into the pipe, which can cause algae growth, leading to nozzle
plugging. Use either a gray PVC, or use a dark paint to coat
any exposed white PVC piping. |

Size
the Distributor and Main. Use the charts below to select
the correct size for the distributor and mainline. These are
intended to serve as general guidelines. Pipe size
recommendations include assumptions for the number of sprinklers the
pipes will be supplying, the length of pipe, and wheter or not the
pipe will be used as a main or distributor. For distributor
lines over 40 ft., mainlines over 100 ft. when slopes are a factor,
or for other special conditions, please consult a certified Netafim
System designer for assistance. |
