Orbit 56565 Compact Gear-Drive Pop-Up Sprinkler Pack of 6 — 80 ft Radius, Adjustable Arc & Diffuser

Orbit 56565 Compact Gear Drive Sprinkler is a durable, adjustable pop-up sprinkler that covers large lawns up to 80 feet across while allowing quick fingertip adjustments for arc and spray pattern.

Built for homeowners who need reliable, easy-to-configure irrigation, this six-pack of Orbit gear-drive sprinklers delivers consistent coverage without metal parts that rust. The compact drive mechanism provides smooth rotation, and a sliding diffuser plus collar tabs let you tune the spray from partial arcs to full circles. Made from sturdy plastics, these heads resist corrosion and can be chained in series to water larger spaces.

How much lawn can one Orbit 56565 sprinkler irrigate?

A single unit reaches up to an 80-foot diameter and can cover roughly 5,026 square feet when set to a full circle. Use multiple heads spaced according to throw radius for overlap and even coverage.

• Maximum radius: 40 feet (80-foot diameter)
• Maximum area per head: ~5,026 sq ft at full circle
• Series-capable: connect multiple sprinklers to extend watering area

What controls do I have for arc and spray pattern?

Fine-tune watering with a few simple controls: collar tabs let you set partial or full-circle rotation and the sliding diffuser shrinks or widens the spray to suit plant beds or turf. Adjustments are tool-free so you can adapt quickly while installing or during seasonal changes.

• Collar tabs: switch between partial and full-circle coverage
• Sliding diffuser shield: narrow or broaden the spray pattern
• Tool-free adjustments: change settings by hand on the head

Will these sprinklers stand up to regular outdoor use?

The Orbit 56565 uses high-quality engineered plastic to resist rust, corrosion and wear that commonly affect metal components. The gear-drive mechanism is enclosed for smoother, longer-lasting operation across seasons, making it a practical choice for residential systems.

• Durable plastic construction: resists corrosion and degradation
• Enclosed gear drive: protected internal components for longevity
• Season-to-season performance: built for repeated use in yard environments

How can I integrate these into an existing irrigation layout?

Each sprinkler features a flow-through outlet design so you can use one head alone or link several in series. That flexibility makes them suitable for retrofitting older systems or adding zones without complex plumbing work.

• Flow-through outlet allows in-line chaining of multiple heads
• Compatible with standard sprinkler piping and fittings
• Compact profile fits common pop-up housings and risers
