Abstract
A misting system is constructed of plastic pipe having a square cross-section, the pipe being dark inside and light outside so that the outside matches the counter and the inside absorbs ultra violet light. The plastic pipe is drilled and threaded to receive nozzle assemblies where needed. Each nozzle assembly includes a valve, and two angled branches, the branches being rotatable about the assembly while the nozzle branches are rotatable about their axes. The square pipe includes fittings for directing the pipe as required, and mounting brackets for mounting the pipe. The brackets are clevises that receive the pipe therein, and include keepers for securing the pipe.
