User questions & answers

Question:	Can the upper part or the actual sprinkler be replaced? Do they sell the part individually
Answer:	Yes the upper sprinkler part is easy to replace and can be purchased at most stores that carry garden equipment.
Question:	How do you set it for full circle
Answer:	You can have full 360 rotation by lifting the metal tab that normally engages with the stops on the sprinkler head. That tab moves with the sprinkler head and if you lift up on it, positioning it from a vertical to horizontal, the sprinkler head will no longer engage with the stops and travel a full 360 degrees
Question:	How many gallons per hour does the head deliver? How long does it take to put 1 inch water on a circle
Answer:	For a very rough estimate you would want to figure out your area to be covered by using (pardon the lack of proper symbols) Pi*R squared. Then you want it to be one inch deep so 1/12= 0.83333 and then there is approximately 7.48 gallons of water contained in a cubic foot. Lastly calculate the flow rate of water out of your house per minute, which will probably be 17-23 gallons per minute. An example for 300 hundred square feet would look like this. 300*0.8333=2525*7.48=187 gallons of water to cover 300 square feet under 1 inch of water. Since it would be incredibly difficult to calculate the flow rate and coverage of the sprinkler we will have to guess and use the flow rate number as a guide. The flow rate out of the sprinkler will be lower so if you had a flow rate of 18 gpm I would reduce it by a third, giving you approximately 12 gallons per minute.187 gallons / 12 gpm would give you 15.58 minutes or approximately 15m 35s. I also bet that it is way off from what it actually is and probably is longer and impacted by the wind too.I found this link afterwards which might help you out further and it looks like it calculates most things for you too.http://www.seametrics.com/blog/water-calculators/
Question:	Can this be set up so that it doesn't rotate but stays stationary? I want something that can stand on concrete and aim hose at one spot
Answer:	the rotate controls allow you to set it from a fixed angle to 360 degrees

User questions & answers

Question:	What is more important for sprinkler throw? water flow (gpm) or water pressure? (psi) i have relatively good pressure (80psi) but low flow (5.62 gpm
Answer:	no idea so i just order 2 of the $8
Question:	After a couple of years of use, the sprinkler quits rotating. Is there no fix other than buying a new one
Answer:	Not sure I have 3 in a series but could add more & still get max coverage.
Question:	Are the spikes in a triangle or inline? Its hard to tell from the picture
Answer:	The vertical appendage,( normally positioned between the 2 horizontal appendages), will flip upwards, out of the way of the 2 horizontal appendages. Just flick the vertical app. upwards. The horizontal appendages can also be adjusted to accommodate the width of coverage, (you will need to flip vertical appendage down, in between the horizontal apps.) If this explanation is not clear, just put on some swim trunks, hook to hose, sit down behind unit, and flip, flick away all wire looking appendages and you'll be a pro within 1 minute. Everything is adjustable for one reason or another...just play around with it. Don't be embarrassed...it took me awhile to get it also and then I trained my neighbors...Good luck. P>S> They don't last that long either, especially if they get a lot of use.
Question:	How do we make a warranty claim
Answer:	Regular hoses will work. Just keep in mind the more sprinklers you connect and the longer the hoses that connect them, the less water pressure/spray distance you will get from each.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the base made out of metal also? I have conflicting info from Home Depot’s website reviews
Answer:	both I would suppose, but I have a newer 5 inch well and HAVE to run 3 hoses to keep the pump on and not going on and off...............if you can only run one hose/sprinkler, you might have enough for it.
Question:	Where is this manufactured
Answer:	Ours all clogged and froze up because we have very hard water. Maybe soaking in some CLR and oiling with fix it? We got some that did a better job and attach to a fence post from tractor supply.
Question:	Will this work well with a well
Answer:	from memory, the big one sits maybe an inch or so in front of the row of two little ones.............but I will tell you, if you have hard soil, rocks etc, get the one on the base, because they will bend, I have both kinds and they shoot about equal...........with my well I have to run three so it doesn't go on and off
Question:	Can I use this in a series? So a hose can connect on both sides
Answer:	I am so sorry I cannot help you as we have not had to initiate a claim for either of our sprinklers. I would assume their website might offer assistance.

Question:	How would you stake this to the ground since the hose fits on the bottom. I’m new to lawn care
Answer:	I used it with my well, but it has a 50psi limiter in it. It doesn't matter a are literally fell off, this sprinkler is cheaply made not worth it plus amazons warranty is only for 30 days. I ordered 3 of them and treat the 2 left with kid gloves. These only look good but not worth the money. Would stay away from these and be wary of any item that only has a 30 day warranty. I am extremely disappointed in both the manfacturer and Amazon.
Question:	can I just connect this irrigation direct to faucet
Answer:	Yes you can. I have 3 to cover my whole lawn without having to move them

How It’s Designed

The Orbit Brass Impact Sprinkler gives you the same familiar ways of adjusting both the pattern and the arc. Using brass or stainless steel for the trip pin, arc adjuster, diffuser, nozzle, and body means no rust. The all metal construction also means it will hold up better against minor bumps and the typical wear and tear that most impact sprinklers experience. Using high quality brass and stainless steel also improves the sprinklers resistance to water with high amounts of sediment and other debris, which usually can wreak havoc on plastic pop-up sprinklers.

Along with the clog-resistant, uninterrupted flow that impact sprinklers were initially designed to feature, the Orbit Impact Sprinkler also mimics the way rain actually falls. Its ½-inch male threaded base fits most sprinkler systems and applications, depending on your desired use, you can attach it to a fixed riser or a portable tripod so you can water multiple areas with only one head.

Make Watering Large Areas Easier

For those with large areas that need watering the idea of putting in dozens of pop-ups can be unappealing. Whether it’s hauling that heavy hose throughout your yard, damaging your flowerbeds and lawn in the process, or having to routinely move a single sprinkler from area to area, stop wasting time!

The Orbit Brass Impact Sprinkler head is capable of throwing water up to 40 ft. but can also be adjusted to 20 ft. A single impact sprinkler can do the work of three or four pop up heads.

User questions & answers

Question:	Minimum pressure required to work well? GPM at that pressure (or orifice size
Answer:	On the upper most far front of the assembly (the silver piece) with a set screw in it, by moving that up or down will adjust the radius of the flow. By pushing it down decreases the radius and by moving it up will increase the radius. You may have to loosen the set screw a tiny bit to allow it to move but you will need to tighten it back up for it to hold it's position. The silver flap like piece actually breaks up the flow of water to reduce the radius flow and you get more of a spray rather than a stream of water.
Question:	What is the output (gpm) at 40 psi
Answer:	Shipping cost $ 4.00
Question:	Minimum pressure required to work well? GPM at that pressure (or orifice size

User questions & answers

Question:	I’ve had this sprinkler for about a month now and really like it. But it has started to turn very very slowly. Now almost not at all. How to fix this
Answer:	I've had this issue too. I found two causes. 1, if the water pressure to the sprinkler goes down because of other water demand at your house or in the neighborhood, the sprinkler performance will be reduced. 2. if using the sprinkler assembly on a slope, adjust the telescoping legs so the sprinkler level (vertical) is level and not leaning. If the head leans too much, the pressure of the water being ejected can cause the floating/sliding head to rub on the head cylinder shaft and therefore add friction or even bind the head reducing its ability to rotate freely.
Question:	i ordered these and got them in two days. I wanted to order more. Is there still two day shipping for prime members or is it going to take a month
Answer:	Hello css828. Delivery from 4 to 14 business of days.
Question:	I have a smaller garden. Can the adjustment be within 10 feet
Answer:	Heavy duty metal impact sprinkler adjusts from 0 - 360 degrees.Covers an area of 20' - 40' radius.Tripod conveniently adjusts from 16" - 37-1/2" in height
Question:	Is the coverage distance 80 ft from the sprinkler head (i.e., 80 ft radius
Answer:	if you are looking for the entire circle that the sprinkler covers that would be the diameter not radius. So if this is similar to my other sprinkler it is 80 ft diameter and 40 ft radius

Product description

The Orbit Zinc Impact T-post Sprinkler is ideal for watering large areas. Designed to fit on the top of most metal T-posts, a sprinkler mounted on a post gives you peace of mind knowing the sprinkler will not tip over or accidently be dragged out of place. It is an excellent choice for multiple watering applications, including lawns, gardens, pastures, and more. The thumb screws secure the base to the post, while allowing easy removal. Designed for dependability, impact heads have an uninterrupted water flow that are clog-resistant, even when used with dirty or reclaimed water from ponds and canals. This sprinkler sprays up to an 85-foot diameter. Easily adjust the coverage from a partial section to a full circle. Features a deflector shield for distance adjustment, and an anti-backsplash arm to aid in spray pattern and area coverage. A simple twist of the diffuser screw breaks up the water stream, creating larger or smaller water droplets. The flow-through outlet allows you to connect multiple sprinklers to expand your watering areas depending on water pressure. The all-metal construction is designed to hold up against the typical wear and tear that most impact sprinklers experience, giving you years of dependable use.

• LARGE-AREA COVERAGE: Sprays up to 85 feet in diameter, covering 5,670 square feet when set to a full circle.
• DURABLE CONSTRUCTION: Quality zinc materials ensure it will last season after season.
• ATTACHES TO POSTS: Slides over the top of standard metal T-posts, great for irrigation and dust control.
• ADJUSTABLE COVERAGE: Easily adjust spray coverage from a partial section to full 360° watering.
• CUSTOMIZABLE SETTINGS: Use the deflector shield and diffuser screw to alter the stream and change the spray distance radius anywhere from 20 to 42 feet.

User questions & answers

Question:	What size is the post sleeve
Answer:	This sprinkler head comes with 1/2 inch threads … but if your underground connection is 3/4 inch threads, you can certainly buy a riser that converts from 1/2 inch threads to 3/4 inch threads. I'm certain they are available at Home Depot or Lowes or Amazon.
Question:	Woukd this work with a u post
Answer:	Not without an adapter. These are FIP threads.
Question:	How do i connect together multiple units
Answer:	parts do not interchange. you have to replace entire unit
Question:	What water flow is needed to get max output
Answer:	It just screws onto the riser. I would think that it would depend on the height of the Rainbird, and the pipe size of your system. If you are looking to swap out the insides to replace the insides of your Rainbird, I don't know the answer to that,

User questions & answers

Question:	What psi do i need to run 2 lg3he in-ground impact sprinkler with click-n-go hose connect at the same time
Answer:	1-3/4" ID, any pole or item this size or smaller in circumference should work.
Question:	Does the section(green cap) where you connect the garden hose fill up with water? Mine is alway filled up with water during use, is that normal
Answer:	Any post or stake tha will fit inside the holder will work
Question:	Can these be extended? I would like to extend one a couple feet so the sprinkler is in the lawn but the quick connect housing is in a flower bed
Answer:	Unscrew the plastic cap on the one end and connect hose. One item to be aware of is making sure your have enough flow for multiple sprinklers. Using 3/4” hose ~11 GPM @ 50PSI was able to run three efficienctly - using a Y splitter for one in the middle.
Question:	How do you winterize these? Is it easy to blow the water out of these for the winter and what is the best method
Answer:	Can’t tell you the exact gpm, but pretty much any standard spigot will provide enough pressure for maximum output with a single sprinkler. If you connect two or more sprinklers together then you definitely need lots of pressure to ensure the best coverage. Awesome product though, only concern is the structural integrity of the arm connecting the t-post attachment to the sprinkler head. If the hose is moved often or pulled then it will bend the metal, but I mitigated the concern by zip tying the hose to the t-post so that any weight or pulling wouldn’t torque the sprinkler.
