Product Description
The 2 inch NPT narrow umbrella fountain nozzle is designed to create a focused, dome-shaped spray that reads clean and symmetrical in larger fountain basins and formal water features. Built around a 2-inch NPT inlet, it supports higher-flow installations where you want more height and presence while keeping the “tight umbrella” look that helps reduce wind distortion.
What it does
This nozzle forms a narrow umbrella pattern—an even, rounded sheet of water that spreads outward in a controlled profile. Because the pattern is intended to remain consistent even when basin levels fluctuate, it’s a practical option for outdoor sites where evaporation, splash-out, or seasonal operation can change water depth. If you’re specifying a signature display for a pondless reservoir, estate pond, or commercial fountain, the 2 inch NPT narrow umbrella fountain nozzle helps deliver a crisp visual effect without requiring constant re-tuning for water level.
Key benefits
- High-flow connection: 2-inch NPT threading suits larger pumps and plumbing runs.
- Defined umbrella profile: A tight dome shape that can be more wind resistant than wider patterns.
- Outdoor-ready consistency: Maintains its intended display across typical water level variation.
Installation & tuning tips
- Thread onto a compatible 2-inch NPT outlet or adapt with appropriate reducer fittings as needed.
- Place the nozzle at or slightly above the water surface to help the umbrella sheet form cleanly.
- Use a valve to fine-tune flow for your target height and spread—small adjustments can noticeably change the look.
Compatibility
Commonly used with schedule 40 PVC pipe and fittings in pond and water feature plumbing. It can be integrated into broader feature builds where coordinated components are preferred. For designers pairing water and light, the 2 inch NPT narrow umbrella fountain nozzle also complements underwater LED lighting by producing a smooth surface that catches illumination evenly.
FAQ
Will this work for a large, dramatic display? It’s intended for higher-flow systems where a taller, more prominent umbrella pattern is desired.
How do I adjust the pattern? Control the flow rate with a valve and set the nozzle at the recommended height relative to the water surface.
Is this suitable for outdoor fountains? Yes—its narrow umbrella profile and consistent formation are commonly chosen for outdoor applications.
