Where to get a misting nozzle?

herp-noob May 27, 2003 01:46 PM

Finishing construction on a misting system but the nozzle I have is too high a volume for my enclosure. Anyone know where I could find one (fine mist and that can be attached to 1/4 inch tubing)? Preferably in a chain store like home depot (they don't have it. Appreciate it. When its completed, I'll post pics. It only cost me around fifty bucks to make it!!

Your best bet is to check any place with a large garden center and look for replacement mist heads for pump-up garden sprayers.

The brass ones tend to have lower flow rates than the plastic ones.

Any mist head can be attached to 1/4" tubing but it can take some creative plumbing. I've spent a lot of time at hardware stores looking for the right combination of couplings, etc. to go from one size to another.

It can be very frustrating, but I've always managed to work something out.

Good luck.

Not from a chain store, but isn't this what you're looking for?

Thanks. That's exactly what I was looking for. I knew about that site but was hoping to find it locally which didn't happen so I ordered it from there. Thanks again for the help.
