Bidding Specifications
The sprinkler shall be capable of full-and
part–circle operation and be a gear-driven
rotary type. The sprinkler shall include a
ratcheting riser feature that allows the user to
adjust the position of the riser in the body
without disassembly. The arc of the
sprinkler shall be adjustable by the use of an
adjustment band located between the nozzle
base and riser. The left terminus of the arc
shall be fixed, with the right position
adjustable from a 40
arc minimum up to a
360
arc maximum. When the 360
arc
adjustment position is reached, the sprinkler
will rotate uni-directionally in the clockwise
direction. The sprinkler shall be adjustable
wet or dry, by hand, using no tools. The arc
adjustment band shall identify the 90
, 180
,
270
and 360
arc positions. The end-of-arc
dwell time shall not exceed 2 seconds and
will generally be less than 1 second.
Rotation shall be accomplished by a water-
lubricated compound cluster gear drive with
balanced reversing gear plate. The drive
assembly shall be driven by a spring-loaded,
poppet-type, variable stator, sized to provide
3-minute, full-circle rotation speeds
throughout the pressure range. The drive
and stator assemblies shall be constructed of
corrosion-proof plastic and stainless-steel
components.
The sprinkler shall include a nozzle base
clutching feature that allows the user to
rotate the nozzle base in either direction, wet
or dry, and hold it in one position during
operation to allow for spot watering.
Water distribution shall be via three nozzles
mounted in a 2¼”-diameter (57mm) plastic
nozzle turret. The three nozzles shall be
oriented in the same direction and elevate
3¼” (83mm) above the body when in
operation. All nozzles shall be of a thread-in
type accessible from the front with no other
disassembly required. All nozzles are color-
coded for easy identification of radius and
gallonage performance capabilities, and shall
be designed to allow any particle capable of
passing through the riser screen to pass
through the nozzle. The sprinkler shall be
capable of accepting a fourth nozzle that can
be installed 180
from the main nozzle to
provide coverage behind the sprinkler.
This back nozzle position shall be
manufactured with a factory-installed plug
that can be removed to accept over 50
different inner and intermediate nozzle
combinations. The sprinkler shall be capable
of accepting 9 different color-coded main
