Hi Fred,
I am afraid that you are planning to install sprinkler in NMR lab. As
per guideline from NMR manufacturer one should not spray water over Magnet
cryostat as it may block the cold exhaust port leading to pressure build
up in the cryostat beyond its limit. I hope you are taking care of
installing your sprinkler such way that it will not discharge water toward
your NMR Magnet. I do not have any idea about the softer pipe for
sprinkler.
Happy NMR spectroscopy, Cheers,
Manoj
