The Orbit 50mm Adjustable Pop-Up Sprinkler is a precision-engineered irrigation component designed for low-profile turf applications. Calibrated for a 3.5-meter spray radius, this unit is ideal for smaller residential lawns, boulevard strips, and narrow garden beds where controlled, accurate water distribution is essential to prevent overspray on hardscapes.
Mechanical Engineering and Performance
- Low-Profile 50mm (2") Pop-Up Height: The compact riser height is specifically designed for short-mown turf and areas where a minimal visual footprint is required. When retracted, the head sits flush with the soil level, protected from lawnmower blades and foot traffic.
- Fully Adjustable Arc (0° to 360°): The spray pattern can be manually adjusted from a narrow wedge to a full circle. This versatility allows for the precise watering of corners and irregular landscape shapes, ensuring that water remains confined to the planting area.
- 3.5-Meter Precision Radius: The internal nozzle architecture is optimized for a consistent 3.5-meter throw. This ensures matched precipitation across the spray zone, preventing the dry spots or water pooling often associated with non-calibrated irrigation heads.
- Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel Retraction Spring: A high-tension internal spring ensures positive retraction into the body after every cycle. This mechanism prevents the riser from remaining extended, protecting the seal and internal components from debris and mechanical damage.
Structural Integrity and Maintenance
- Reinforced UV-Stabilized Polymer Body: Manufactured from high-impact, weather-resistant plastic, the housing is engineered to withstand fluctuating soil pressures and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight without cracking or degrading.
- Pressure-Activated Wiper Seal: The riser is equipped with a specialized co-molded wiper seal that cleans the stem as it retracts. This prevents grit and sand from entering the body, ensuring a watertight seal and extending the operational lifespan of the unit.
- Integrated Drop-In Filter: A fine-mesh filter screen is located directly beneath the nozzle to capture sediment and mineral deposits. This prevents clogging of the precision orifice and can be easily removed for routine cleaning.
- 1/2" Female Pipe Thread (FPT) Inlet: The standard threaded base allows for a seamless connection to any 1/2-inch riser or swing-pipe assembly, making it a universal replacement for existing irrigation systems.
Designed for high-efficiency water management, the Orbit 50mm Pop-Up Sprinkler provides a reliable and low-maintenance solution for maintaining healthy, uniform turf. Its combination of rugged construction and precise adjustability ensures optimal irrigation performance in both residential and light commercial landscapes.
