A system includes an internal manifold ring (102) defining at least one circumferentially extending flow channel (118). A plurality of feed arms (104) extends outward from the manifold ring. A circumferentially segmented outer ring (106) can be supported from the feed arms, outboard of the feed arms. Each feed arm can include a plurality of branches (110) extending therefrom, wherein each branch is in fluid communication with the manifold ring through a respective one of the feed arms. A plurality of nozzles (112) can be included, each nozzle connected to a respective one of the branches, wherein the system is devoid of nozzles radially inward from the manifold ring.
