Landscape Misters & Irrigation Misting Systems
Landscape misting systems deliver water in fine droplet form through low-flow misting nozzles and fogger heads, providing evaporative cooling, humidity elevation, and low-volume irrigation in outdoor and greenhouse environments. The misting products in this collection are primarily from DIG and Netafim -- both established irrigation manufacturers with professional-grade misting nozzle and fogger head lines for agricultural and landscape applications. DIG EXL Series fogger heads are available in multiple flow rates (0.8 to 3 GPH) and connection types for different system configurations.
DIG EXL Series Fogger Heads
DIG EXL Series 500 fogger heads are press-fit and 1/4-inch barb connection misting nozzles used in low-volume irrigation lines, greenhouse misting systems, and outdoor cooling setups. Available in multiple flow rates from 0.8 GPH (fine mist, humidity and cooling) through 3 GPH (higher output, surface wetting and drip irrigation). Press-fit versions connect directly to 1/4-inch poly drip tubing without additional fittings; barb versions use a barbed insert for more secure connections in higher-pressure applications. Available in packs of 200 for commercial-scale misting system builds.
Greenhouse and Outdoor Applications
Misting systems in greenhouses regulate temperature and humidity during hot periods by running fine mist across the air path -- evaporative cooling can lower ambient temperature 10-20 degrees F in well-ventilated environments. For propagation areas, misting systems maintain the high relative humidity (80-90% RH) that reduces desiccation of unrooted cuttings. For outdoor patios and agricultural shade structures, misting lines provide summer cooling for workers and plant material. Browse all irrigation supplies or see Netafim drip components.

Landscape Misters FAQ
What is the difference between a misting nozzle and a drip emitter?
Misting nozzles and fogger heads atomize water into fine droplets that remain airborne briefly before settling, making them effective for evaporative cooling, humidity elevation, and light surface wetting. Drip emitters deliver water directly to a soil or growing medium surface in a concentrated drip pattern with larger droplets that do not atomize. Misting nozzles operate at relatively low pressure (15-60 PSI) and very low flow rates (0.5-3 GPH); drip emitters work across a wider pressure range at slightly higher flow rates per site. Use misting nozzles where atmospheric effect (cooling, humidity, foliar) is the goal; use drip emitters where direct root zone delivery is the goal.
What flow rate fogger head do I need?
Flow rate selection depends on your application. For fine evaporative misting and humidity control (0.8-1 GPH foggers produce the finest droplet and maximize air suspension time), or for light coverage of a large area at low output. For greenhouse cooling where moderate surface wetting alongside evaporative effect is acceptable, 2-3 GPH foggers provide more rapid cooling per unit but produce larger droplets that settle faster. For direct plant misting or propagation dome humidification, 0.8-1 GPH at close range (12-24 inches from plants) provides gentle, uniform coverage without pooling. Higher flow rates at short distances can cause waterlogging in propagation media.
Can I use landscape misting nozzles in a hydroponic propagation system?
Yes. Low-flow misting nozzles are used in aeroponic clone machines and misting propagation systems where a fine water mist is applied directly to the base of unrooted cuttings suspended in air. The fine droplet size of 0.8-1 GPH misting nozzles delivers water and dissolved nutrients to the cutting base without flooding the stem or creating the waterlogged conditions that inhibit rooting. For aeroponic propagation, nozzle positioning (angled upward toward the stem base), timing (short cycles of 30-60 seconds every few minutes), and solution EC (kept very low -- 0.2-0.5 EC) are the key management variables.
