In some areas (such as Boise, ID) where it is pretty dry and hot at times, a lot of people and restaraunts with outdoor dining use "misters" to cool an outdoor area such as a patio. For those who don't know, these are typically a piece of pipe coiled like a cobra about to strike. At the terminal end are a couple of brass fittings with a tiny orifice in them. When hooked to a garden hose or similar, the water pressure creates a very fine mist as water is metered through the orifice/s. In a dry climate like ours this has a cooling effect.
I'm thinking about making something similar, except it would be a run of pipe with several such outlets on it. The orifice on these things is probably no more than .010" in diameter and maybe smaller. I'm not really equipped to drill holes that small and am wondering where a guy might find fittings like that. Carburettor jets and orifices for propane burners come to mind, but I don't know what diameters are available.
Anyone have some suggestions or info?
Thanks....
