Introduction

The FLX35 and FLX55 series full and part circle rotary sprinklers 

are designed specifically for golf course applications.

Manufactured from durable, high-strength engineering plastic and 

stainless-steel components, these sprinklers incorporate many 

innovative and time-proven features for lasting, maintenance-free 

operation. 
Prior to installing the sprinkler, read through the recommended 

installation and start-up procedures. Please observe all Warnings 

and Cautions when installing and operating this equipment.

Features
