It certainly is possible. Just keep looking and searching for 1/4" couplers, and several different brands will appear
The type of connector you are using determines your results. Connectors with push type connectors on all sides fit into any slot, while others have nozzles inserted into any hole. This is the slot you need to place the nozzles in if you are going to screw them in.
These work really well for me since I have 40 pounds of wind pressure. It was an extremely fine mist, however! The mist leaves a lot of mineral buildup on everything it touches, even with a calcium filter. Personally, I am looking into getting a pump. If I don't have RO water, I will use distilled There are 12 volt or 24 volt marine pumps available on Amazon for $20 to $50. It could cost you all the way to $200 if you want household current at 120 volts.

It's not the end of the world. I like it a lot. It is only a complaint that the brass nozzles are screwed into a short piece of rubber tubing and then pressed into The eye may be affected as a result It is possible for the piston ring on the nozzle not to seat properly, resulting in a little leak The easy fix was to get some harder rubber/plastic 1/4" tubing (I used some gray PEX pipes intended for installing ice makers from the home improvement section), and cut the pieces about 3/8" longer than the original pipe in which the nozzle was. In addition to the harder tubing, the threads of the nozzle of the tube were able to bite better and did not cause any issues with the o-ring The nozzle is leaking and leaks from the ring behind it. Prior to my improvement, they were working well, but they worked flawlessly afterward. I just wanted to add my two.
I know, but! Scale leaves behind any hardness of the water. The quality of the work is very good. There was a very fine mist produced by them that was perfect for my air conditioner's coils. I am told my cooling costs will be reduced by about 25 to 30% based on YouTube testimonials. I'm writing this 2 1/2 months after the last article. have asked about the orifice size. So far, only a few people have misinterpreted the 1/4" tubing size (supply) as the orifice size. For people who need to know, I plan to purchase an inexpensive torch tip cleaner set from a welding supply. After I measure the orifice size and I'm curious, I will edit when this is completed. I used RO water because I was still getting minerals in my water even after I used a calcium filter and I also said that I would use reverse osmosis. I did not realize why I may need a pump until they explained it to me. Reservoirs for RO water are only inflated to seven to ten pounds of pressure. The first setup works best with RV/Marine pumps that put out about 40 lbs of power. Would you please! You should be aware of this warning if you are going to build a condensing unit misting system. An HVAC technician friend explained to me that mineral build-up on the coils eliminates any benefits you will receive from the system. You must have mineral free water in order to reduce the heat transfer rate (reduce the heat transfer rate). If you do not you will damage the coils.
I didn't even need to see the directions since I saw a video before making a purchase. My plants on my porch are now all smiling because they are so happy with them! My intentions are to order more misting systems and set it up for my friends and me
Only semi-permanent The only con is that the distance isn't three feet, but I also put four on one 1/4 tubing length of four feet, and perhaps that's why I didn't get three feet. However, I haven't had a chance to play with them much yet either. If you are planning on using a misting outdoor system, especially in LV, NV where the water is very hard, consider adding a filter and flow restrictor to prevent the misters from clogging and to make sure the flow is even. The brass mister can clog (all misters do eventually clog), but to clear it, just remove it from the bath (you do not need to disconnect any other parts or replace them) and soak in vinegar to unclog it. I'm not sure what the enclosed end caps are for. I even warmed the ends of 1/4 tubing, but it wouldn't go into the hole. As long as I have faulty plugs from my kit, I can use them on the ends of tubing without a problem. It is also possible to bend and clamp the tubing at the ends or to wrap a rubber band around it several times until it is tight, depending on your needs. It's exactly my style and I highly recommend it!.
Barbed fittings should be attached to the end of these. Having the fittings they have, you are unable to move them once they are placed. You cannot put them on right if you don't get the fit just right. That's not a good thing. This is true. How come they don't have barbed fittings like normal people?.
Originally I bought them to make a misting deck cooler, but I wasn't sure how many I would need to cover a 20 foot by 20 foot area. Playing cards. The water came on as soon as I connected the pump to my line. A single stinger will cover a 6 ft wide pattern, so I plan to install three of them on the southside of the deck, on the windward side. It's always cold when the wind blows from the north. It's hilarious, lol.
In about 10% of them, there was a defect and they had to be replaced. Unfortunately you do not realize this until after you have installed them, so this is a major problem. The ease of installation makes them somewhat appealing, but if they don't work, it can be a bit frustrating.
Home Depot misters do not work as well as those we bought from the department store. So with that being said, I installed six of them, but two did not work. There was one of them that didn't have the misting center and just sprayed out water. On the other hand, the stamp was off-center and let a bunch of water in. It got the job done, but the failure rate is at least 20%, so I recommend buying extra. I noticed one of the third ones got clogged, but I am not sure if that is because of something in the line.
For the planters I set up for my wife, I used these as a watering system. I had no leaks and it was very easy to install. As the pressure from garden hose is high, a pressure reducing valve would be a good idea straight to the garden hose and didn't have any problems, but I wanted to be safe since the reduction in size from garden hose to 1/4 tubing and misters is dramatic. With the 1/4 tubing that is supplied, you can create the set up you want or you can purchase.
