Product Description:

Cover more ground with less hardware. The Orbit 1/2 in. Brass Adjustable Impact Sprinkler adds or replaces an impact head in your watering setup and throws up to 40 ft. at 40 psi — reach up to 45 ft. with 65 psi of pressure, ideal for big lawns, gardens, and pastures.

The clog-resistant, flow-through design keeps water moving even when you're running dirty or reclaimed secondary water from a pond or canal. Set the arc anywhere from 25° to a full 360°, use the deflector shield to bring the distance in, and give the diffuser screw a twist to break the stream into larger or smaller droplets. The anti-backsplash arm keeps the pattern consistent and aimed where you want it.

Best of all, it's built from solid brass. That means it stands up to high pressure, harsh weather, and years of typical wear that cracks or seizes lesser heads — reliable watering, season after season. Backed by a 6-year warranty.

LARGE-AREA COVERAGE: Sprays up to 90 ft. in diameter, covering 6,360 sq. ft. when set to a full circle.
HEAVY-DUTY BRASS: The brass construction can withstand high water pressures and severe weather conditions without the worry of breaking, rusting, or failing.
ADJUSTABLE COVERAGE: Easily adjust spray coverage from a partial section to full 360° watering.
CUSTOMIZABLE SETTINGS: Use the deflector shield and diffuser screw to alter the stream and change the spray distance radius.
ANTI-BACKSPLASH ARM: Improves the sprinkler’s ability to spray water in a consistent pattern and in the desired direction.
RESISTS CLOGS: Flow-through design resistant to clogs and ideal for secondary water.
UNIVERSAL REPLACEMENT: Works alongside or replaces existing 1/2-in. impact sprinkler heads.
SIZE: 1/2-in. male threaded.

The Orbit 1/2-in. Male-Threaded Brass Impact Head lets you replace or add an impact head to your yard’s watering system. Designed for dependability, impact heads have an uninterrupted water flow and are clog-resistant, even when used with dirty or reclaimed water from ponds and canals. Sprays up to a 90-ft. diameter; making it ideal for large-area watering. Easily adjust the coverage from a partial section to a full circle. Features a deflector shield for distance adjustment and an anti-backsplash arm to aid in spray pattern and area coverage. A simple twist of the diffuser screw breaks up the water stream, creating larger or smaller water droplets. The all-metal construction means it will hold up against the typical wear and tear that most impact sprinklers experience, giving you years of dependable use.

Frequently asked questions

Some questions and answers are automatically generated.

Is it compatible with Yard Enforcer motion sensors?

Compatibility appears to be mixed. This product does have a 1/2 MPT for use with the Yard Enforcer. However, one reviewer reported that it would not activate when triggered by a Yard Enforcer motion sensor, despite being assured by customer service that it was compatible. Check your water pressure and flow rate (GPM) prior to purchasing to ensure it will work.

Does the sprinkler head stick or fail to rotate?

Some reviewers report issues with rotation or sticking. Since Brass is heavier than plastic a high PSI and GPM are required. Several mention heads that fail to return after partial rotation, drop when water shuts off, or get stuck at the end of their sweep. One customer who bought 4 of 5 units stated multiple had rotation or water-flow failures. However, many others report no such issues.

Does this sprinkler head really cover 90 feet?

Many reviewers confirm impressive coverage and distance. One customer who installed 5 units noted the irrigation distance matched the advertised range and water distribution across the full radius was excellent. Several note it works well for large yards.

How durable is the brass construction?

Reviewers praise the brass build for quality and longevity. One stated "stick with the brass and they last a long time," and another noted these perform better and last longer than other brands they've tried. However, some users report durability issues—a small number mention heads breaking or failing after limited use or one season.

Will it work on my 3/4-inch base connection?

No. This is a 1/2-inch male threaded head, and at least one reviewer confirmed it does not fit on a 3/4-inch base. Verify your connection size before ordering.

How easy is it to install?

Reviewers consistently report easy installation. One noted it takes just removing one nut and screwing in the new head, and another described it as a straightforward replacement.

Can I adjust the spray pattern?

Yes. The description notes you can use the deflector shield and diffuser screw to adjust stream and change spray distance, and reviewers confirm the coverage is adjustable. One customer mentioned needing to fine-tune connection setup for smooth operation.

It was a replacement to a defective sprinkler I bought

It was a replacement to a defective sprinkler I bought. It was the wrong head but was told they didn’t make the sprinkler head I bought. What a sham.
The first photo is the head I bought and was defective. The second one is a poor substitute. Don't understand how you can warrant your product without having the proper replacement when something goes wrong. Again, what a sham.

Works great. Thank you.

I was very impressed with the service I encountered

I was very impressed with the service I encountered. I had a 1 year old sprinkler just stop rotating. Called customer service, and they sent a free replacement in just a few days. Works perfectly. Appreciate a company standing by their products. A+++

Solid brass and great design

Solid brass and great design, reasonable priced for item, but S/H was over price and more than the Orbit sprinkler.

Orbit is a Very Reliable Company

I actually haven't used it yet because I had bought 3 of them, and I only have 2 outlets for irrigation so haven't tried the one that was sent because I did still have 2 that were working , but knowing that Orbit was willing to trust me with the description I gave of that one was not working properly and replaced it, I know what brand to buy when I do need other sprinkler replacements or parts The woman who helped me was very understanding and trusted that I told her the truth (which I did) Thank you!!

Love it for a very large yard

Love it for a very large yard. Had an issue and it was promptly replaced. Great company!

I had a problem with the sprinkler purchased on Amazon

I had a problem with the sprinkler purchased on Amazon. I called Orbit and they sent the replacement sprinkler head, and they shipped it within 3 days. Excellent customer service!

It worked well

It worked well, but using the chatbot to achieve customer service objectives was cumbersome, to say the least. I’ll not be doing future business with Orbit as a result of the inability to converse with a human.

4 of the 5 splinklers I purchased have fail

4 of the 5 splinklers I purchased have fail. The head drops when the water goes off and it fails to rotate or won't pass any water at all. I've had to mess with them or replace them. They are not the quality I expected from Orbit

Not compatible with Yard Enforcer as promised

It is not compatible with the Yard Enforcer, even though I spoke to a customer service person who assured me it was. When triggered on by the motion sensor, it does not go off. Plus it's a very wild spray, which I would bother figuring out how to control if it worked otherwise.

I bought a tripod sprinkler and timer for my hose about 2 years ago. I loved it but the top part of my sprinkler broke. Customer service was amazing. I received the replacement part in about a week. Very nice and helpful. Love the product and the customer service! Highly recommend.

The flip over limiting device does not work well at all

The flip over limiting device does not work well at all. It is too long for my tripods and required bending with less than optimal results. Not happy with the heads.

Great operation tight fit

the sprinkler head is great BUT I thought it would be a straight replacement inside the existing canister. It took a little work to get it going but it's fine now.
