Tired of watching the unpredictable spring wind blow your sprinkler's mist everywhere but your plants? The Antelco CFd™ Downspray (Head Only) is the engineered solution for precise, wind-resistant watering. This patented 360-degree micro-sprayer features a unique 45-degree downward trajectory that creates heavier, targeted droplets. This ensures water lands exactly where it belongs: directly on the soil at the base of your plants. Perfect for new nursery stock, raised beds, and delicate flower gardens, you can easily pair these spray heads with 1/4" micro tubing and rigid stakes for a highly efficient, zero-waste irrigation setup.

Build your custom micro-spray setup in just a few steps.
Step 1: Mount the Sprayer Head
Using the self-tapping thread on the bottom of the CFd Downspray, firmly twist it into the top of a rigid riser or compatible micro-tubing stake assembly.
Step 2: Connect the Micro Tubing
Attach one end of a length of 1/4-inch micro tubing to the barb on your stake assembly or riser.
Step 3: Connect to the Mainline
Use a punch tool to create a hole in your 1/2-inch or 3/4-inch mainline tubing. Insert a 1/4-inch transfer barb into the hole, and attach the other end of your micro tubing to the barb.
Step 4: Position and Adjust
Push the stake into the soil near your plant. For the specified 20-24 inch spray diameter, ensure the sprayer head is positioned roughly 8 inches above the soil line.
Is the Antelco CFd Downspray good for spring winds in my garden?
Yes, the Antelco CFd Downspray is specifically designed for windy conditions. Its 45-degree downward trajectory creates heavier droplets that resist wind drift, ensuring your spring plantings receive water exactly where they need it.
This targeted approach dramatically reduces water waste compared to traditional upright micro-sprayers that easily mist away in the breeze.
Can I use the Antelco CFd Downspray on delicate spring seedlings?
Yes, this micro-sprayer delivers a gentle, rain-like 360-degree spray pattern that thoroughly hydrates the soil without blasting away delicate seedling roots or damaging fragile spring flower petals.
What is the difference between the Black and Blue Antelco CFd Downspray heads?
The color indicates the flow rate. The Black CFd Downspray delivers 4.8 to 7.0 GPH, while the Blue CFd Downspray delivers a higher flow of 7.0 to 10.5 GPH depending on your system's pressure.
How do I connect the Antelco CFd Downspray to my irrigation line?
The CFd Downspray features a self-tapping thread. You can easily twist it into a rigid riser, a stake assembly, or directly into 1/4-inch micro tubing connected to your main water line.
If you prefer a pre-built setup, we also carry fully assembled versions with stakes and tubing attached.
