roof_mounted
  • Pump covered in stand by mode. All weather cover is secured by Velcro and snaps for ease or removal. Laminated instructions are attached to every pump.
sprinkler_head
  • Roof mounted Wind-fighter sprinkler head assembly installed just below roof ridge-line (invisible from other side).
windfighter_sprnkler
  • Wind-fighter sprinkler head assembly in action. Note the head is mounted below the ridge-line on the “blind” slope of the roof for aesthetics.
  • R33 Rotator head assembly with irrigation riser in action.

EPA Certified, Alternative Fuel  (Propane) High Performance Pump

fuel_pump
  • 250’ of Head or 108 PSI
  • 130 Gallons per Minute
  • Cam & Groove Quick Connect Fit-tings
  • Frame included

Benefits of Propane over Gasoline

  • Only fuel approved by Dept. of Homeland Security’s FEMA for Wildfire Protection Systems.
  • Better for the environment - no fuel spillage.
  • Unlimited storage life.
  • Cleaner burning (vapor, not a liquid).
  • Safer in fire.
  • Easier and safer to transport.
  • Most reliable fuel delivery system - can be left unattended for continuous runtime with the appropriate sized propane cylinder.
  • More BTUs per pound of fuel.

  • Either head can be fitted with a deflector to modify the arc of throw.
impact_head
  • Better Performance than any brass impact head: R33 @ 60 PSI 102’ circle of throw @ 8 GPM; Wind-fighter @ 60 PSI 88’ circle of throw at 6 GPM.


Brass Impact Heads are Obsolete

Brass impact heads now are cast overseas. During the Ham Lake Fire of 2007 several brass impact arms and housings broke because of repeated use that stressed the castings. Also, impact mechanisms exposed to the blown debris during the Fire jammed in a locked position (not able to rotate). Brass impact heads can only operate when horizontal to the ground.

The Wind-fighter and R33 Rotator were designed to replace brass impact heads because of performance, uniformity, long wear life (radial bearing surfaces are out of the water stream, no reciprocating parts or springs to fail.) and ease of cleaning & repair. Riser vibration & torque are also eliminated, putting less stress on screwed connections, fittings & risers.
