The Plastic Oval Rose is a brass-faced rose for outdoor watering cans fitted with a No.3 Plastic ferrule. The brass face provides the outlet geometry and is corrosion resistant in wet conditions. The plastic body supports the structure and keeps overall weight lighter when fitted compared with an all-brass rose. The oval face produces a broader spray pattern than a round rose. At the same spray weight, the oval face has more holes than a round, delivering a higher flow rate across a wider area. The rose can be fitted face up or face down; on an oval rose the change in spray direction and coverage is significant and gives a noticeably different result in use. Spray weight governs the size and character of the droplets the rose produces. Lighter sprays are gentler and slower to deliver; heavier sprays deliver water more quickly with more force. Five spray weights are available in oval: Extra Fine Spray, Fine Spray, Fine Spray High Flow, and Coarse Spray. Fine Spray High Flow achieves higher delivery through a greater number of holes at the same hole diameter – it is not a coarser or heavier spray. The brass face may develop patina over time – a surface change that does not affect function. Attaches via a taper interference fit to the No.3 Plastic ferrule. Compatible with the Cradley Cascader, Selly Soak, and Sutton Splash.
