D4a Protectospray Directional Spray Nozzles are open (non-automatic) directional spray nozzles and they are designed for use in water spray fixed systems for fire protection applications. They are external deflector-type nozzles that discharge a uniformly filled cone of medium velocity water droplets. The Type D4a Nozzles feature a four arm body design that helps assist against mechanical or physical damage similar to a sprinkler guard used on automatic sprinklers.
