Orbit Professional pop-up sprinklers supplied with adjustable spray nozzles for lawn and garden irrigation. The riser extends during watering and retracts when the system switches off. Adjust the watering sector for corners, edges or open areas, and use the nozzle screw to reduce the watering radius by up to 25%.
The 50mm (2") pop-up is available with 10A, 12A, 15A and 18A nozzles. The 100mm (4") pop-up comes with a 12A nozzle and raises the spray higher above the surrounding grass. Choose a pop-up height that allows the spray to clear the grass.
Flush the pipework before installing the sprinkler to clear dirt and debris. Set the cap level with the finished ground surface and make sure the extended nozzle clears the surrounding grass.
The spray arc is how far around the sprinkler the water sprays. Adjust the arc at the nozzle to cover the required part of the lawn, or open it to a full circle for an open area.
Use the screw on top of the nozzle to reduce the watering radius by up to 25%. Make small adjustments with a flat-blade screwdriver and check the coverage with the water running.
Supplied nozzle performance
| Pop-up height | Supplied nozzle | Watering radius | Flow at 172 kPa |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50mm (2") pop-up | 10A | Up to approximately 3.0m | 2.23–8.97L/min |
| 50mm (2") pop-up | 12A | Up to approximately 3.7m | 2.65–10.56L/min |
| 50mm (2") pop-up | 15A | Up to approximately 4.6m | 2.84–11.39L/min |
| 50mm (2") pop-up | 18A | Up to approximately 5.5m | 2.80–11.81L/min |
| 100mm (4") pop-up | 12A | Up to approximately 3.7m | 2.65–10.56L/min |
Radius is the distance from the sprinkler to the outer edge of the watered area. The approximate maximum watering distances above correspond to the 10ft, 12ft, 15ft and 18ft nozzle sizes. Actual reach changes with pressure and distance adjustment.
Flow figures are at 172 kPa and vary with the spray-arc setting. Both the 50mm and 100mm pop-ups with a 12A nozzle use the same nozzle flow figures.
For head-to-head coverage, space sprinklers so the spray from each one reaches the next. Use the watering distance after adjustment when planning the spacing.
Water use changes with the nozzle, arc setting and pressure. Opening the arc further increases the flow needed by the sprinkler. Check the combined flow of all heads that will run on the same zone.
