Placement<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order to construct a line that is quick to set up and is an efficient performer, there should be little to no hose smaller than 1 \u00bd inch (38mm) used.&nbsp;If the sprinklers used have a reach of more than 50 feet (15m) they can be connected directly to the water thief at every connection (100\u2019) on the hose line, resulting in overlapping patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order to make the pattern a strong footprint with no dry line through it, a second sprinkler line should be laid parallel to the first sprinkler line with about a 20 to 50 foot space between the two lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Place the two sprinkler lines with the starting points staggered so that the fittings are at the half way point of the neighboring hose.&nbsp;By laying the hose out in this fashion the patters of the sprinklers will overlap making the width of the line fairly uniform throughout, with few dry shadows.&nbsp;The performance of the sprinklers in this lay out is very important, as the reach of stream of all sprinklers must overlap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div

determines the hose spacing.\u00a0Fine fuels offer few shadows, therefore a 50\u00a0foot spacing will work well, however in heavy fuels where many obstacles are present the spacing should be reduced to eliminate dry shadows.\u00a0Narrow spacing produces a wide footprint of intersecting patterns reducing dry spotting, but the total width of the pattern will be narrower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div
