SpinNet Sprinkler is an automatic watering system for greenhouses and nurseries. In the system design, sprinklers are usually arranged “head to head” or at a spacing equal to the radius of the sprinkler throw. For larger areas, the patterns can be overlapped, creating both wet and dry areas. The system has low cost and fast payback, low water droplets, water resistance, durability, and low maintenance costs.
This document provides step-by-step guidance for designing automated irrigation systems using Netafim's SpinNet sprinklers. It covers selecting appropriate sprinkler heads, bases, and pipe sizes based on greenhouse dimensions and crop needs. The guide includes charts for spacing, flow rates, and component sizing, as well as installation procedures for first-time setups. It also details configurations for misting, propagation, and cooling applications using VibroNet and CoolNet Pro foggers.
The SpinNet system offers drip-less operation, high uniformity, UV-resistant tubing, and low maintenance. Components like check valves, stabilizer weights, and UV White™ PE tubing are highlighted for their durability and performance in greenhouse environments.
| Average Working Pressure | 30 psi |
|---|---|
| Sprinkler Spacing | 3 feet |

| Flow Rate (SpinNet Red) | 18.4 GPH |
Use closely spaced “strips” of sprinklers laid out side-by-side to achieve uniform coverage over large areas.
Netafim offers three base types: Dan Retrofit Adapter, 1/2” Adapter, and Hanging Assembly for PE tubing.
