Holman Heavy Duty Rooftop Sprinkler – Bushfire Protection & Roof Cooling

Be prepared for Australia’s toughest fire seasons with the Holman Heavy Duty Rooftop Mounted Sprinkler. Designed to deliver high-impact, wind-resistant water coverage, this rugged rooftop sprinkler is ideal for bushfire protection, evaporative roof cooling, or simply maintaining hydration for rooftop vegetation systems.

Key Features:

• Built Tough: Heavy-duty metal base and brass sprinkler arms are engineered for extreme Australian weather
• Roof-Ready: Adjustable mounting fits a wide range of pitched and flat roof surfaces
• Enhanced Grip: Silicone foot pads provide stability and prevent movement on slippery roofs
• Customizable Output: Easily replace the sprinkler head to match your desired spray pattern (optional heads sold separately)
• Daisy Chain Capability: Link multiple units for full coverage over large roof areas
• Wind-Resistant Spraying: The 3-arm brass sprinkler delivers larger water droplets that resist wind deflection
• Efficient Spray Radius: Delivers a maximum 5m radius at 276kPa (approx. 40psi)

This is more than just a sprinkler—it’s your home’s first line of passive defense against bushfires. It can also be used in summer to help reduce roof surface temperature and lower the ambient heat radiating into your home.

Compatible with standard 12mm garden hose fittings, and fully modular for flexible installation.
