Orbit 54040D Shrub Head Sprinkler with Brass Quarter Pattern Spray Nozzle

The combination of brass and plastic in the shrub spray head makes it an ideal solution for applications that require the spray nozzle to be positioned above surrounding shrubs or flowers. The nozzle features an adjustment screw that allows you to reduce the spray pattern down to 75 percent of its maximum radius of 15 feet. The inlet threads are 1/2-inch female pipe thread (FPT), and the most common method of installation is on top of a 1/2-inch male pipe thread (MPT) rigid PVC riser. As plants grow, you can extend the shrub spray head above the plants by adding a PVC coupling and another riser.

The adapter that attaches to the riser is made of plastic, while the spray nozzle is constructed of brass. The precision-machined brass spray nozzles ensure extremely even water droplet size and distribution across the spray pattern. You can replace the spray nozzle rather than replacing the entire head. The replacement nozzle is the male thread brass insert nozzle designed for flush heads.

These shrub heads do not have pressure-regulating riser stems and are not for sale in California and other states that require pressure regulation. The recommended operating pressure is 30 PSI, and the product is intended for outdoor irrigation use with cold water only.

The shrub adapter combines with a male thread brass fixed pattern spray nozzle, providing a versatile solution for watering trees, shrubs, perennials, or annuals of various heights. The precision-machined brass nozzle ensures highly consistent spray quality and is available in full, half, and quarter patterns to suit a variety of landscape designs.

The shrub adapter allows for replacement with the same or a different pattern nozzle, making it compatible with nozzles from Orbit, Hydro-Rain, and other major brands. However, as these shrub heads are non-pressure regulating, it's essential to check local codes for any restrictions. To optimize water conservation, you can control the system with a B-hyve smart controller.
