Sprinkler Installation
Caution:
Use only PTFE tape to make threaded connections from riser or barbed ell to sprinkler body. Deterioration of plastic
may occur if other sealing compounds are used.
Note:
It is recommended that shrub and pop-up sprinklers be installed on polyethylene risers or barbed ell and thick walled poly
pipe. The 12" high pop should be installed on a barbed ell and thick walled poly pipe to reduce trenching depth.
Shrub Sprinkler
1. Screw assembled shrub sprinkler securely onto PTFE taped riser and position the spray pattern indicator on nozzle with the in-
tended coverage area for part circle models.
Pop-Up Sprinkler
1. Grasp the sprinkler by the body (not cap) and screw securely onto
the PTFE taped riser or barbed ell. Do not over tighten, hand-tight is
sufficient.
Note:
The 570 Series pop-up sprinkler should be installed so that
the top of the cap is level with the final finished grade (soil).
2. After all pop-up sprinkler heads have been installed, remove the cap
and riser from each body. For shrubs, remove nozzle and filter screen.
3. Flush the system with water until all dirt and debris has been removed.
4. Reinstall all shrub nozzles, filter screens, riser and cap assemblies,
positioning riser keyway of part circle models to properly align spray
pattern with intended coverage area. For adjustable arc nozzles, turn
the arc adjustment to the intended coverage area.
5. Backfill the soil around the heads carefully, avoiding soil contact with
the top of the cap.
6. Turn on the water source to the system.
7. Adjust the spray radius as necessary. This is accomplished by turning
the slotted screw located on the top center of all nozzles.
A. To decrease radius (3' minimum), turn the adjustment screw clock-
wise. Precipitation rate and GPM will be reduced as well, depend-
ing upon working pressure of the system.
B. To increase the radius (15' maximum), turn the adjustment screw
counterclockwise.
