Orbit 54500 2 Professional Hard Top Pop-Up Sprinkler with Adjustable Nozzle

The Orbit Professional Series spray head is the premium offering in the brand's lineup, designed to cater to a wide range of landscape types. It is available in 2-inch and 4-inch riser stem heights and boasts a durable metal cap that protects the spray head from potential damage caused by power equipment, making it an ideal choice for placement along sidewalks and driveways.

The wiper seal of the Orbit Professional Series spray head features an over-molded structural support, ensuring long-term, smooth retraction and preventing water from blowing past the riser stem. The riser spring, which creates the pop-up action, is made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel, ensuring years of reliable operation. A ratchet mechanism in the riser stem allows for easy adjustment of the spray direction after installation.

One of the notable features of this spray head is the integral silt trap at the bottom of the can, which helps to maintain superior performance even when using dirty water. The spray body inlet is equipped with standard 1/2-inch female pipe threads (FPT), allowing compatibility with Blu-Lock and Riser-Flex fittings, as well as 1/2-inch Schedule 80 PVC and cut-off risers.

The adjustable pattern spray nozzle is engineered to deliver uniform droplet sizes across a 0-to-360-degree arc. It includes a filter and an adjustment screw, which allows the user to reduce the spray pattern down to 75 percent of its rated distance. The low-angle trajectory of the spray helps to improve efficiency by minimizing wind drift.

It is important to note that these spray heads do not have pressure-regulating riser stems and are not for sale in California and other states that require pressure regulation. They are designed for outdoor irrigation use with cold water only and are suitable for watering areas with up to 15 feet of spacing between sprinkler heads.

The Orbit Professional Series spray head is a versatile and durable option for landscape irrigation, offering a range of features that cater to a variety of needs. Its compatibility with major brands, such as Orbit, Hydro-Rain, Rain Bird, and Hunter, makes it a reliable choice for both residential and commercial applications. For optimal water conservation, these spray heads can be controlled using a B-hyve smart controller.
