How it works
- Water is supplied to the sprinklers by a pump fed by a water tank. The pump can be fuel or electric driven and may be remote start or manual start.
- The sprinklers are strategically positioned around the perimeter of the structures to target flying embers before they can reach combustible materials.
Benefits
- Provides reliable water coverage across at-risk areas.
- We recommend using rotating sprinkler heads instead of impacts as the rotating head throws water out horizontally limiting the effect high winds will have on the water particles.
- Will help prevent ignition from flying embers, which are a significant cause of bushfires spreading.
Installation
- Fixed bushfire sprinkler systems need to be custom fitted to your house by a tradesperson or they can be installed DIY if you have the skills.
- The system is generally connected to an ring main around the perimeter of the structure to supply maximum water supply to all sprinkler heads.
Cost
- The cost of a fire sprinkler system depends on the size of the system, the complexity of the installation, and other factors

Important Information about our Rainmaker Heads
Arm Positioning
Isolate the copper from the Roofing Material
Angle of Install
The arm positions are critical to the sprinklers performance. The head needs to rotate clockwise to or a failure will occur as the spindle will undo from the head. We could have used lock-tight on the thread but then you could not dismantle the head during maintenance.
Angle of Install
Isolate the copper from the Roofing Material
Angle of Install
The head will rotate at any angle, we recommend running the tube at the first row of roofing screws above the gutter and setting the heads at 45 degrees. Running the tube on the facia under the gutter and having the heads vertical is another option.

We recommend using an isolator to mount your copper tube, this will reduce galvanic corrosion.
We have Clic isolators in our store for this purpose.
