ABSTRACT:
A large anti-vortexing nozzle is provided which may be used in a distribution system comprising multiple nozzles to uniformly distribute fluid to an underlying surface. The nozzle is non-clogging, operates at very low spray pressures, and evenly distributes fluid over a wide area due to its ability to eradicate vortex formations within the nozzle. The nozzle comprises a main body with integrally formed anti-vortexing ears extending upward from the top of the nozzle into the pipe and an underlying dual pyramid shaped deflecting apparatus. In operation, the nozzle produces consistent and continuous, multiple uniform flat planes of fluid because the nozzle now will not sputter, vibrate or induce air because ears on the nozzle eliminate vortex pair formations which are detrimental to nozzle performance.
