Perfect your spring propagation environment with the Press-Fit Tornado Misters (5-Pack). Unlike standard threaded emitters, this specialized press-fit version is engineered explicitly for inverted (overhead) installations. Producing a gentle, highly uniform 140-micron droplet, it is the ultimate tool for boosting humidity in greenhouses and providing constant, non-destructive surface moisture to fragile seedlings and rooting clones. For those building a completely new setup, these professional-grade misters are the driving force behind our popular all-in-one Greenhouse Misting Kit (KGRN). By combining these misters with the appropriate press-fit adapters and anti-drip devices, you can build a flawless overhead irrigation network in either poly tubing or rigid PVC.
Review the exact performance metrics to integrate these misters into your overhead climate system.
| System Pressure (PSI) | Flow Rate (GPH) |
|---|---|
| 20 PSI | 4.0 GPH |
| 40 PSI | 5.5 GPH |
Because these misters hang overhead, using an anti-drip device is highly recommended to protect your plants when the system turns off. Follow the steps for your pipe material.
Step 1: Use a DripWorks punch tool to make a clean 1/4" hole in your overhead poly tubing.
Step 2: Assemble the press-fit components. Connect the threaded end of an Anti-Drip Device (MEAD) directly to the base of the Press-Fit Tornado Mister.
Step 3: Connect the smooth press-fit side of the Anti-Drip Device into a Press-Fit Barb (MEBARB).
Step 4: Push the barbed end of your fully assembled unit upward into the punched hole in the poly tubing until it snaps securely.
Step 1: Drill a 7/16" hole into your 3/4" or larger PVC pipe using a specialized grommet drill bit (GROMDRILL) to prevent shattering.
Step 2: Insert a rubber Anti-Drip Grommet (MEGRO) completely into the drilled hole.
Step 3: Use a Press-Fit Coupler (MECPL) to bridge the connection between the Anti-Drip Device (MEAD) and the Press-Fit Tornado Mister.
Step 4: Thread the assembled Anti-Drip Device firmly into the rubber grommet for a watertight seal.
Is the Press-Fit Tornado Mister good for spring greenhouse propagation?
Yes, the Press-Fit Tornado Mister is specifically designed for spring propagation. When installed overhead, it delivers a gentle, highly uniform 140-micron mist that creates the high-humidity environment seeds and clones need to thrive.
Can I insert the Press-Fit Tornado Mister directly into my poly tubing?
No, the press-fit version has a smooth base and cannot be inserted directly into supply lines. You must use compatible press-fit adapter components (like the MEBARB or MECPL) to connect it to your tubing.
What is the difference between the threaded and Press-Fit Tornado Misters?
The threaded version is designed to spray upward from a rigid stake or riser. The Press-Fit Tornado Mister is designed exclusively for inverted (overhead) installations, spraying downward onto propagation tables.
What water pressure is required for the Press-Fit Tornado Misters?
The Press-Fit Tornado Misters operate effectively across a broad pressure range from 20 to 60 PSI, allowing for flexibility in your greenhouse irrigation design.
