T5 Series Sprinklers
December 2013
clutching the nozzle turret beyond
the hard left stop position. Finally,
the left arc position may be adjusted
in the clockwise direction by turning
the nozzle turret to the hard right
stop, next turning towards the hard
left stop by the amount of
adjustment desired, then clutching
the nozzle turret back to the hard
right stop.
The date of manufacture shall
be stamped onto the bottom of the
riser in the Julian calendar format.
Rotation shall be
accomplished by a water-lubricated
cluster gear drive. The drive
assembly shall be driven by a variable
stator that maintains a constant speed
of rotation with all nozzles. The
variable stator shall require no
adjustments when changing nozzles.
The body and cap of the
sprinkler shall be injection-molded
from ABS, a corrosion-proof,
impact-resistant, UV-resistant, heavy-
duty, engineering-grade plastic
material. The nozzle turret cover
shall incorporate a pull-up feature
that provides serviceability of the
nozzles and riser assembly. The
sprinkler shall have a plastic filter
screen in the riser to prevent entry of
foreign material from clogging the
nozzle.
All internal components shall
be serviceable from the top of the
sprinkler without disturbing the body
installation. The sprinkler shall have
a riser/body seal assembly that
regulates flushing during pop-up and
retraction to clear any debris from
around the riser, and a heavy-duty,
stainless-steel spring to ensure
positive retraction. Sprinkler flush
rate shall not exceed 1 GPM (3,8
lpm).
The rubber cover shall be
injection-molded from Santoprene
thermoplastic elastomer intended to
provide a cushion to avoid personal
injury from contact. The rubber
cover shall be available in a lavender
color to identify the use of non-
potable water (effluent) not intended
for human consumption.
The sprinkler shall provide a
check valve feature that prevents low
head drainage, soil erosion and water
waste while maintaining water in the
piping system up to 7’ (2,1m) of
elevation difference. The check valve
shall be removable, allowing full pipe
drainage if desired.
The sprinkler shall be
developed and manufactured by an
ISO 9001-certified facility. The
sprinkler shall be model
number_______________ and shall
be manufactured by The Toro
Company, Irrigation Division.
Recommended Installation
Procedures
The T5 Series sprinkler is
designed specifically for turf areas
requiring ______ coverage. These
products offer the most economical
method of irrigation where flows and
system pressures are available to
support a short- to medium-range
radius.
The T5 Series sprinkler
should be specified for installation on
a swing joint. The swing joint should
be specified as a triple-swing type,
allowing movement up, down,
laterally, and at an angle to grade.
The sprinkler should be installed with
the top of the cap at finished grade.
T5 Series sprinklers are
engineered to provide a smooth,
consistent curtain of water across the
arc, with provision made for head-to-
head coverage. For proper spacing,
ensure that system design and
installation accounts for prevailing
wind conditions.
It is recommended that
sprinklers are installed 2” (5 cm)
from hardscaping and 6”-12” (15.2-
30.5 cm) from buildings or other
vertical impediments to allow for
normal maintenance procedures and
to minimize overspray on buildings.
Where possible, sprinklers should be
installed in a manner that will
minimize nozzle stream contact with
trees, controller enclosures,
shrubbery or other obstructions.
