Orbit Brass Impact Sprinkler Head 3/4 in MPT Dual-Nozzle (3/32 & 3/16) Adjustable Arc

Orbit's Brass Impact Sprinkler Head (55016) is a heavy-duty dual-nozzle sprinkler that delivers even, adjustable coverage for lawns, pastures, and large garden areas.

This all-metal sprinkler pairs a small 3/32-inch nozzle for reliable close-in watering with a larger 3/16-inch nozzle for extended reach, giving a balanced spray pattern that eliminates gaps common with single-nozzle designs. Built from brass with stainless-steel hardware, the head is intended for outdoor cold-water irrigation and installs easily on standard 3/4-inch fittings. It performs best with supply pressure around 60 PSI but operates across a wide range of pressures to suit different systems.

How does the dual-nozzle design improve irrigation?

The two nozzles work together so water is distributed more uniformly across short and long distances. The smaller nozzle fills in the near zone while the larger nozzle covers farther areas, reducing dry spots and overlapping waste.

• 3/32-inch nozzle for close-range coverage
• 3/16-inch nozzle for long-distance throw
• Balanced arc minimizes uneven patterns
• Ideal for single-head coverage of larger plots

What installation and connection options are available?

The sprinkler features a 3/4-inch male pipe thread (MPT) that connects directly to common female fittings, risers, couplings, and Schedule 40 or 80 PVC. It's straightforward to mount on a riser or coupling above ground or as part of a pop-up riser assembly.

• 3/4" MPT inlet fits standard FPT couplings and risers
• Compatible with Schedule 40/80 PVC pipe couplings
• Works in retrofit and new-install setups
• Recommended: 60+ PSI for optimal range and rotation

How do you adjust spray distance, arc, and operation?

Adjustments are mechanical and immediate: set arc stops for partial or full-circle coverage, then fine-tune radius with the spray deflector and the adjustment screw. The weighted brass arm and stainless trip hardware control rotation speed and distance under varying pressures.

• Arc adjustable from 30° to 360° with built-in stops
• Deflector shield plus screw adjusts radius from about 18 to 35 feet at 60 PSI
• Heavy brass arm slows rotation for extended throw at high pressure
• Stainless springs and pins resist corrosion for reliable trips

What conditions and applications is this model best suited for?

Designed for outdoor cold-water irrigation, this brass impact sprinkler excels on larger lawns, pastures, and open garden areas that need single-head coverage with consistent distribution. It tolerates a wide pressure range but delivers its best balance of distance and pattern at higher pressures.

• Optimal for lawns, pastures, and agricultural plots
• Operates between 20–80 PSI; recommended 60 PSI for peak performance
• Durable brass construction for weather resistance
• Avoid with hot water or non-irrigation fluids

Who is this for: The Orbit Brass Dual-Nozzle Impact Sprinkler (55016) is aimed at homeowners, small-scale farmers, and landscape contractors who need a sturdy, reliable sprinkler capable of covering large single-head zones with uniform results. Choose this model when you want a long-lasting metal head that accepts standard plumbing fittings, performs across a range of pressures, and offers easy mechanical adjustments for arc and radius.
