  2. NEMA connector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEMA_connector

    The 14-50 has a rating of 50 A, and a straight neutral blade sized so that it does not mate with 14-30 connectors. NEMA 14-50 devices are frequently found in RV parks, since they are used for "shore power" connections of larger recreational vehicles. Also, it was formerly common to connect mobile homes to utility

  3. Rain Bird - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rain_Bird

    Rain Bird had its origins in 1933 when Glendora, California, citrus grower Orton Englehart developed the first prototype of the horizontal action impact sprinkler.This new design offered slow rotation and more efficient watering than other sprinklers of that era, features that were long sought after by local irrigators.

    In North American, but most commonly the USA market, it is very common for brake lights and turn signals to be combined. On cars and light trucks (listed below as Light Vehicles) there is no formal standard, instead there is an accepted standard. However, you can not be entirely sure until you have meas

    The physical design is also used by SAE J560 with basically the same configuration. The difference is that SAE J560 uses 12V (larger wire cross-section and higher amp rating on fuses). Pin 7 may also have a different behavior on SAE J560. [23] [24] [25]

  6. Irrigation sprinkler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irrigation_sprinkler

    Rainguns are similar to impact sprinklers, except that they generally operate at very high pressures of 2.8 to 9.0 bar (280 to 900 kPa; 40 to 130 lbf/in 2) and flows of 3 to 76 L/s (50 to 1,200 US gal/min), usually with nozzle diameters in the range of 10 to 50 mm (0.5 to 1.9 in).

  7. Nozzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nozzle

    A nozzle is a device designed to control the direction or characteristics of a fluid flow (specially to increase velocity) as it exits (or enters) an enclosed chamber or pipe. A nozzle is often a pipe or tube of varying cross sectional area, and it can be used to direct or modify the flow of a fluid ( liquid or gas ).

  8. K-factor (fire protection) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-factor_(fire_protection)

    In fire protection engineering, the K-factor formula is used to calculate the volumetric flow rate from a nozzle. Spray nozzles can for example be fire sprinklers or water mist nozzles, hose reel nozzles, water monitors and deluge fire system nozzles.
