The higher your sprinklers are, the more area they can soak.

Putting sprinklers up high on roof peaks is the best place for them, but is often too dangerous to attempt.

“Just when our Fire Department implemented a policy of not going onto rooftops, the Water Winger came along.  We can now deploy, in just a few minutes, a roof top sprinkler system from the ground.   Excellent product.”

Report on success using sprinklers to protect homes

News article on how sprinkler system saved home

For many people,

Water Wingers are the best rooftop option.

    • No hoses need to be hanging down from your soffits all summer.
    • Pull your Water Wingers up onto roofs yourself when you need them.
    • Their spring loaded skis adjust automatically to any roof pitch.
    • A better option than permanently mounted rooftop sprinklers that will become useless if they get plugged, or jammed.  Water Wingers can be pulled off roofs quickly, without climbing a ladder, to get working again.  
    • They are portable and can be moved to other roofs quickly to help others.
    • Built to last.  This isn’t a cheap, plastic sprinkler. 
    • Water Wingers use the large, proven dependable, brass 3/4″ RainBird irrigation sprinkler because it throws a powerful stream well over 50′ and performs better in windy conditions.
    • Built to provide many years of dependable protection.
    • The premium, polished stainless steel and aluminum construction with reflective markings make it easy to see who has rooftop sprinklers deployed, even at night.
    • Having your own high quality structure protection system set up, increases the chances that crews will help you save your home if you make it easier for them to do.

A safe, easy way to get roofs & more wet fast.

    • Even metal and other non-combustible roofs should be wet so burning embers are extinguished and can’t slide off or get blown off to start new fires nearby.
    • A wet roof and property stays cooler longer, increasing the time until combustion. 
    • These large sprinklers throw a lot of water to create a long lasting, high humidity environment around your structures to help them withstand the heat from the fire front that comes after the ember storm.
    • The bigger the fire that’s potentially coming, the more water and sprinklers you will need to use to increase your chance of success.

    • The plan is to get everything soaked, and the more soaked the better.  Create the largest wet zone around your structures as you can with the water and sprinklers you have, so that the fire front keeps it’s distance and will hopefully blow by before all the water evaporates to the point things get dry and hot enough to ignite. 

One Water Winger can replace multiple small sprinklers mounted on gutters or soffits.

This short video shows how to create a wet zone around a 2 story home using just ONE Water Winger.

They are easy to remove even from steep, slippery, wet roofs.

It’s easy to pull them back down off of your roof when the threat has passed,

or quickly relocate them to other structures.

 

Use them on: 

1 and 2 story homes, resorts, cottages,

barns, shops,

houses of worship, tall steep roofs,

fabric covered buildings,

combustible piles, boats,

aircraft, large RV’s, large fuel tanks

industrial assets and more.

 

Wet more roof area from roof peaks.

A single Water Winger

 can wet a 100′ diameter circle,

7850 sqft with

50 PSI @ 7-9 GPM

See the spray pattern at 50 PSI, a common household pressure, with the standard nozzles.

40 to 80 PSI is ideal, but nozzles can be changed to work with most water supplies.

This RainBird Chart shows the throw radius and water consumption with optional nozzles and other water pressures.

Compare on a 50′ x 70′ roof:

One on each end of your roof will wet a large roof and all around your building.

See the coverage using 2 Water Wingers.

Both are running from one yard tap, through a High-Flow “Y” and 

fed from a household well with 60 PSI at the tap.

Easier and safer to deploy.

Just throw the ball by hand, or use the included ball chucker

to get a special lightweight line over the roof so you can pull your Water Winger up to the peak.

 

Many people will be able to throw the ball over a 2 story home or barn.

See the ball being thrown over a two story home by hand.

For larger buildings, watch how the ball chucker we include makes it easy to do. 

Then just pull it up onto your roof until it you see it clamp itself over the peak.

No holes, nails or screws are needed to secure them.

You really don’t want to put holes in your roof or fascia!

These advanced rooftop sprinklers have spring loaded legs that self-adjust to automatically clamp over any roof peak to keep them secure and upright regardless of how steep the roof is.

 

 With Wingers on roof peaks, the water falls from above, like rain,
so your roof will safely shed the water like it is designed to while soaking it thoroughly. 

 

Other types of sprinklers, mounted low on roof edges or gutters, can spray water up into vent openings and up under shingles to potentially cause water damage.  This won’t happen with Water Wingers on peaks.

The mister nozzle creates a finer mist to blow with the wind
to lightly wet the places burning embers may also blow into.

 

Water Wingers are built to last. 

 

The frame is stainless steel and aluminum and we use agriculturally proven, 3/4″ RainBird 30 heavy duty, brass impact sprinkler heads because they are durable, dependable and project a dense stream of water that travels farther into the wind and penetrates deeper into the ground to wet a large area quickly.  

 

The frame is shiny stainless steel and has reflective markings so it is easy for crews to see who has rooftop sprinklers deployed, even at night. 

 

It folds up compactly for storage.

 

The proprietary rope bag and line set are designed so the lines deploy smoothly and can be loaded easily.

 

  • The bag is made out of a durable, heavy duty mesh so the lines dry out quickly.
  • It has a wide opening, easy load design.
  • The reflective trim makes the bag easy to see and it has pockets designed to hold what is needed.
  • The shoulder strap makes carrying the kit easy and also enables you to hang the bag over your shoulder to load the lines back in without bending over or kneeling on the ground.

 

Kits come with everything needed to get Wingers onto many types of 1 & 2 story buildings.

These are portable, temporary wildfire protection sprinklers,

so you only put them up when you need them.

With a good water supply, you should consider running more sprinklers around your property to extend your protective wet zone.
