Depending on the wind, light, and other factors, the Sky Cascade nozzle produces a range of fantastic effects, calling to mind a rocket contrail, hot steam geyser, or the spectral visage of a tall, veiled woman. Visible over a wide area, the Sky Cascade’s vertical, frothy spout and returning veil of cascading rain provides a focal point to landscape design and draws attention to what would otherwise be a still-water pond or lake. Like our other nozzles, the effect of the Sky Cascade is particularly stunning at night when illuminated, and recommended wherever high-visibility water features are called for.
Technical description:
*Suitable for calm to light wind conditions. Moderate wind conditions will cause some disruption in the pattern, but yields a beautiful “sail” effect.
* The Sky Cascade nozzle is water level independent and can be located in “dry” areas.
* The Sky Cascade nozzle has male NPT threads or an ANSI flanged connection.
* Special compression gaskets are available for correcting up to a 2° non-plumb installation.
* For proper performance the water supply should be reasonably non-turbulent. This can be achieved by providing a straight length of feed pipe prior to the nozzle flange equivalent to eight pipe diameters (6″ pipe = 4′ minimum straight run).
* Provide a basket strainer for nozzle protection. Maximum 5/32″ diameter perforations.
