The spray tubes are spaced apart from and extend in parallel to each other. The bottom wall of each of the tubes has a plurality of water spray holes formed therein. The icing water sprayer is an integral one-piece structure. The spray tube inlets are symmetrically provided with respect to the longitudinal axis of the sprayer and have water supply connection openings with central axes in parallel with the lateral axis and facing each other. The spray tube inlets are preferably formed as a tee joint having a stem joined to the first wall of the lateral header portion and two arms with one arm having the water supply connection opening and the other arm being closed.
