Fountain Information

Fountain Pipe Size

Fountain pipe size, or to be more specific the pipe diameter is something that must be taken into consideration when designing a fountain with "remote nozzles" The diameter of the pipe will reduce the flow and pressure in proportion, but often you can not use just a strait pipe you will need to have bends too, these greatly add to the reduction of pressure flow. The longer the pipe run is also adds to the "problems"

There is no way round these "problems" it is the laws of physics, however you can take these factors into consideration which usually results in bigger pumps and bigger pipe work, which of course costs more money. Exclusive Fountains prefers to attach nozzles directly to the pump so eliminating any pipe work.

  The jet height is only 65 cm

Above is a N1200 pump on the far left which is connected to a Schaumsprudler 35-10e nozzle via a 22mm diameter 2m long copper pipe. Please note: the pipe was digitally coloured in so you can see it. (non enhanced picture is available)

  The jet height is 150 cm

Above is the same N1200 pump, the same schaumsprudler 35-10e nozzle, but no 22mm pipe. The jet is over twice as high.
