Plastic Flush Full Spray Pattern Sprinkler Head

Pop-up flush head sprinklers are a common feature in irrigation systems that are over 20 years old. These systems remain highly functional, and the pop-up flush head is an excellent way to keep them in good working condition. The pop-up version provides an extra inch or so of spray height, making it more suitable for grass, while the traditional flush head is more commonly used in above-ground applications such as shrubs and flowerbeds.

The brass nozzle on these flush heads includes an adjustment screw, which allows you to reduce the spray pattern to 75 percent of its maximum radius of 15 feet. Flush heads feature 1/2" female pipe threads (FPT) and are typically mounted on a 1/2" male pipe thread (MPT) rigid PVC or cut-off riser. To simplify the removal and installation process, a flush head wrench is available as an accessory, eliminating the need for extensive digging.

Replacing the flush head nozzle is an easy task, as it can be swapped out with a brass flush head spray nozzle with male threads. It's important to note that these flush heads do not have pressure-regulating riser stems and may not be suitable for sale in California and other states that require pressure regulation. The recommended operating pressure for these flush heads is 30 PSI, and they are intended for outdoor irrigation use with cold water only.

These precision-machined brass or molded plastic flush heads are designed to provide consistent spray quality, making them an ideal choice for replacing existing low-profile "flush" sprinkler heads in landscape areas. They are available in a variety of patterns, including full, half, and quarter, to accommodate different landscape designs.

For lawn areas, the flush heads with a 1.5-inch pop-up height are recommended, while the fixed nozzle height versions are more suitable for shrub applications. These flush heads are compatible with models from Orbit, Champion, and other major brands, ensuring a seamless replacement process.

It's important to check local codes and regulations, as some areas may have restrictions on the use of non-pressure regulating spray heads. To ensure optimal water conservation, consider pairing these flush heads with a B-hyve smart controller, which can help optimize irrigation schedules and water usage.

In summary, the pop-up flush head sprinklers offer a reliable and versatile solution for maintaining older irrigation systems, providing consistent spray quality and easy installation. By understanding the features and considerations of these flush heads, homeowners and landscape professionals can make informed decisions to keep their outdoor spaces thriving.
