Fixed sprinklers
Description
Solid set/fixed refers to a stationary sprinkler system. Water-supply pipelines are generally fixed (usually below the soil surface), and sprinkler nozzles are elevated above the surface. Solid-set systems are commonly used in orchards and vineyards for frost protection and crop cooling. Solid-set systems are also widely used on turf and in landscaping.
