GILMOUR Pattern Master Adjustable Impulse Circular Sprinkler — Medium Duty, 86 ft Range, 12-Point Pattern

The GILMOUR 196SPB Pattern Master is an adjustable impulse circular sprinkler that lets you shape spray distance at twelve points for precise watering of irregular lawns.

Designed for medium-duty residential use, this Pattern Master sprinkler combines a rotating impulse head with a flexible adjustment ring so you can tailor spray coverage instead of relying on fixed arcs. It reaches up to an 86-foot diameter, covers lawns as large as about 5,800 square feet, and lets you switch between partial and full-circle operation with an adjustable collar. Built for straightforward setup and durable performance, it’s a practical choice when you want accurate irrigation without complex controllers.

How does the Pattern Master let me create a custom spray shape?

The sprinkler uses a flexible ring with twelve independent adjustment points around the head so you can vary how far water travels in each direction. Turning individual tabs shortens or extends the throw at each location, producing an irregular but intentional pattern that matches odd-shaped beds or patios.

• Twelve adjustable points allow fine-tuning of spray distance around the circle
• Impulse rotation spreads water evenly while preserving set distances
• Adjustments are tool-free—simply turn the tabs to change reach
• Works well around driveways, gardens, and landscaping edges

What coverage and performance can I expect from this sprinkler?

The Pattern Master has an effective circular diameter up to 86 feet (about a 43-foot radius), covering roughly 5,800 square feet when run at full capacity. Water distribution comes from a pulsing rotary head that balances distance with uniformity for lawns and larger planting areas.

• Maximum spray diameter: 86 feet (43-foot radius)
• Approximate maximum coverage: 5,800 square feet
• Medium-duty build suited to regular yard use
• Operates on standard garden hose water pressure

Can I switch between partial and full-circle watering for different jobs?

Yes—the sprinkler includes an adjustable collar that lets you select partial arcs or full-circle rotation quickly. That makes it simple to water long strips, corners, or entire circular lawns without repositioning the unit or adding extra sprinklers.

• Adjustable collar toggles between partial and full-circle modes
• Good for edging along walkways or irrigating rounded beds
• Reduces overspray onto paved surfaces when used in partial mode
• Rapid changeover helps when watering different yard zones

How durable and serviceable is the GILMOUR 196SPB for season-to-season use?

Built for medium-duty residential use, the sprinkler’s materials resist typical wear from garden use and UV exposure, and many users find it reliable over multiple seasons. GILMOUR supports the product with a lifetime warranty, offering long-term confidence and simple replacement options if defects occur.

• Constructed for routine outdoor use and frequent handling
• Lifetime warranty from GILMOUR for manufacturer issues
• Parts are accessible for cleaning or minor maintenance

Who is this for: The GILMOUR Pattern Master 196SPB is aimed at homeowners and landscapers who need accurate, flexible watering for larger or irregular lawns without investing in fixed irrigation systems.
