SnakE® Rotary Sprinkler Set – Structure Protection / Vegetation Fires

✓ Forest, heath, and moorland fires in rough terrain
✓ Slopes, steep terrain, and mountain regions
✓ Railroad embankment and slope fires along highways and rail lines
✓ Stubble, field, and harvest-area fires in agriculture
✓ Mop-up and cooling down hot spots
✓ Preventing root fires

✓ Defensive line with rotary sprinklers in a row
✓ Stopping fire spread across firebreaks and paths
✓ Protective line in front of residential areas (wildland-urban interface, WUI)
✓ Sectoring large damage areas for parallel work with fewer personnel

✓ Vertical extinguishing and wetting of warehouses
✓ Vertical extinguishing and wetting of industrial facilities
✓ Vertical extinguishing and wetting of building facades and structures
✓ Protection of tank farms, gas storage facilities, and chemical plants against radiant heat
✓ Recycling, timber, and waste processing sites with high fire loads
✓ Large-scale photovoltaic arrays, battery storage systems, and transformer stations
✓ Wind turbine base areas, pipelines, bridges, and tunnel portals
✓ Farms, straw storage, haystacks, and stables

✓ Autonomous operation relieves personnel during long-duration incidents and night phases
✓ Distance from the heat zone in case of radiant heat and flying embers
✓ Safe withdrawal corridor thanks to a water curtain
✓ Protection of staging areas, catering points, and vehicle positions

✓ Large events, fireworks, stage and tent setups as preventive protection
✓ Munitions-contaminated and legacy-contamination sites where a direct attack is too risky
✓ Training and drill operations for long-distance water supply
✓ Dust suppression and cooling during heat events

Our rotary sprinklers are deliberately designed for Storz D – the smallest standardized fire service coupling (25 mm). This is not a design choice but a consequence of the operational profile: vegetation fires usually occur in steep, trackless terrain, with long distances from the vehicle to the incident scene – often under time pressure and with limited personnel.

A D-hose weighs only a fraction of a C- or B-hose. A single person can easily carry several lengths plus the rotary sprinkler in a backpack or over the shoulder – even uphill, through undergrowth, or across rough terrain. Exactly where heavy C-lines fail, the D-system keeps you moving.

• Material: brass
• Nozzle size: 4 mm
• Adjustable sector range: 20°–360°
• Throw: up to 14 m (Ø 28 m)
• Water consumption: approx. 240–1,440 liters/hr
• Recommended pressure range: 1–4 bar
• Dimensions: approx. 13 × 12 cm
• Weight: approx. 220 g

By flipping the wire bracket, the coverage can be switched from full circle (360°) to part circle (20°–270°).

In part-circle mode, the size of the desired sector can be set by adjusting the two wire clamps on the pipe section so that the desired segment is sprinkled. As soon as the required water pressure of 2–4 bar is applied, the sprinkler starts rotating and automatically reverses direction when it reaches the set end points.

The deflector plate, which is easy to move by hand, regulates the height of the water jet. The attached jet breaker screw provides stepless adjustment of the jet width and can also be easily set by hand.
