Type D3 PROTECTOSPRAY

Directional Spray Nozzles, Open, Medium Velocity

Designed for use in water spray fixed systems for fire protection applications
Open orifice type for use in deluge systems
Nozzles are external deflector types that discharge a uniformly filled cone of medium velocity water dro
Spray angles available: 65°, 80°, 95°, 110°, 125°, 140°, 160°, and 180°
