Feel the Heat

They’ve become staples at sidewalk cafés and other outdoor gathering areas, but Dayva International’s Tower of Fire lends a touch of art to the commercial patio heater. The sleek, 7-foot unit emits a vertical flame that radiates comfortable levels of heat in every direction. The flame is enclosed in a shatter-proof, tempered-glass tube designed to withstand cold, heat, and the occasional splash of water. The stainless steel and anodized aluminum structure stays cool to the touch, and attached wheels allow maintenance staff to move the heaters around. An electronic igniter makes the units easy to fire up. The Tower of Fire comes in propane and natural-gas versions and can be set for one of three flame intensities.

Free Flow

Rain Bird’s new RD1800 Series Sprays were designed to handle such challenges, long before the maintenance team notices a damaged or stolen spray head. The units feature the company’s Flow-Shield Technology, which reduces the amount of water flowing through the stem of a missing nozzle by up to 90 percent (or up to 50 percent compared with a typical pressure-regulating spray).
