Gilmour 816703-1011 Spike Base Lawn Sprinkler 3/4 in

Product Description

The GILMOUR 816703-1011 is a spike-base lawn sprinkler designed for ground-level irrigation in residential and light commercial turf applications. The unit features a 3/4-inch threaded inlet connection and delivers a circular spray pattern, making it well suited for covering a defined area of lawn or landscaping. At 15 inches tall and with a base width of 6 inches, the spike drives directly into the ground for a stable, tool-free setup. Licensed irrigation professionals and knowledgeable DIYers typically install this type of sprinkler as part of above-ground hose-end irrigation systems.

This sprinkler is intended for standard outdoor lawn watering where a temporary or semi-permanent above-ground solution is preferred over in-ground irrigation. The spike base allows repositioning between watering zones without tools, and the 3/4-inch thread is compatible with standard garden hose fittings and hose-end connectors. It is well matched to residential lawns, garden beds, and small commercial green spaces where uniform circular coverage is required.

Key Features

• Spike base drives directly into soil for stable, no-hardware installation

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by pressing the spike base firmly into the soil by hand or with a rubber mallet. Shut off the water supply at the source before connecting or disconnecting the sprinkler. Verify thread engagement is hand-tight to prevent leaks before opening the supply valve. Avoid overtightening threaded connections, which can damage the inlet fitting.
