As automated misting systems go, hands down I will recommend Mistking as the way to go. When all is said and done they’ve put together a great system and I don’t know anyone whose done better. That being said I, can’t promise a misting assembly from them is the best deal if you plan to buy in bulk (that is unless they give you a bulk discount, which is something not advertised). Let’s break it down part by part:

Here is their VALUE T MISTING ASSEMBLY. Sells for $14.25 off their website. These are the parts used from top to bottom and what mistking sells them for, minus a little 1/4″ hose in between some areas.

• Value 1/4 inch Plug In Tee – $2.49
• Value 1/4 inch Bulkhead – $3.49
• Value 1/4 inch Plug In Elbow – 2@$4.98
• Drip Reduced Nozzles – $3.29

The last piece, the elbow necessary to screw the nozzle into is not available on the website, But already you can see with that part included we’re looking at over $15 to make from the mistking site.

20 VALUE T MISTING ASSEMBLIES will cost me $285. Let’s see if since I’m doing this in bulk I can bring the numbers down.

We’ll start with the nozzle. It’s made by Tefen with the code 0.7-80-F. In my research I located cloudtops.com, where I got confused between the RED (Mistking says it’s he red) or the white (spray patterns suggest they are the white). I’ll by 20 @ $1.49 each making the total $29.80 excluding tax and shipping.

Oddly, which the nozzle was something harder to find, all the other parts can often be found together. They are simply under others name. I did searches for “stem tee,” “stem elbow,” “bulkhead union” and “female elbow fitting npt.”

This helped me find the parts, although it seems only Canada and the UK make them:

• 10 PCS One Touch Push In Fittings Bulkhead Union 1/4″ – Price: $18.90 so 20 for $37.80
• 5 Push In to Connect Female Elbows 1/4″ OD – 1/8″ NPT – Price: $10.30 so 20 for $41.20
• Push to Connect One Touch Plug In Elbow 1/4″ OD 10 Pcs – Price: $16.00 so 40 for $64.00
• Push In One Touch Fittings T Union 1/4 OD Tubing Pkg 10 – Price: $12.80 for 20 for $25.60

Add in the nozzles and we’re looking at around $200 total. Not much of a total I want. Gonna have to hunt more.
