8. Mist Line Layout Strategies
8.1 LIGHT, MEDIUM OR HEAVY HAZE
• Light – Use 35 fine nozzles (0.008”)
• Medium – Use 20 fine, 10 heavy nozzles (0.012”), alternating every 2 or 3 fine
nozzles with a heavy nozzle for a total of 30 nozzles.
• Heavy Haze Mist – Use 25 heavy nozzles (0.012”) for thickest mist in low humidity
areas.
• Note: the driest mist will be the light mist. Order heavy nozzles for medium or
heavy haze (additional).
8.2 INDOOR FOG CURTAINS
• Use 35 fine nozzles pointed straight down for the driest mist. If wetness is not a
problem, mix for medium or heavy, being sure to point nozzles down from high
position. Downdraft can pull in fog from fog machines adding another dimension.
8.3 RAISE HUMIDITY TO KEEP DUST DOWN
Point nozzles away from anything close by – mist shoots away up to 6’ – 8’ (1.8 –
2.4m) in cone shape of 18” (46cm) diameter. Alternate nozzles horizontally pointing
opposite directions to reduce dust from the air. This added moisture removes dust by
clinging to the dust and dragging it down out of the air, making the air smell fresh and
clean.
8.4 PROJECT IMAGES AND LASERS
• Hang nozzles in a straight line at 18’ – 20’ (5.1 – 6.1m) high, pointing downward.
The 35 fine nozzles will need to be closer together. Cut tubing 6” – 12” (15 –
30cm) shorter, testing thickness of screen necessary. Once in place, be sure all
nozzles are pointed straight down without wind or air movement. Project from rear
of water screen, being sure no other lights are illuminating the screen, unless for
effect.
9. Mist Line Assembly
9.1 TUBING CONNECTION
•
Use the supplied cutters to begin cutting the supplied high-pressure (black) tubing
to the required lengths (see recommended lengths below). Be sure to measure
the total length required for the mist line before cutting the tubing. Only cut what
is needed.
• RECOMMENDED NOZZLE SEPARATION
Mounting Height Nozzle Separation
8 – 10 ‘ (2.4-3m) 28” (71cm)
10-15’ (3-4.5m) 24” (61cm)
