Gilmour 819003-1001 Spike Lawn Sprinkler 8500 Sq Ft

Product Description

The GILMOUR 819003-1001 is an above-ground spike-base lawn sprinkler designed to deliver broad, even circle-pattern coverage across residential turf and landscaped areas. The spike base drives directly into the ground for stable, hands-free placement without additional hardware. At 58 inches in overall height, the sprinkler head sits well above low-growing ground cover to reduce obstruction and improve distribution uniformity. With a rated spray coverage of 8,500 square feet per cycle, this unit handles mid- to large-size lawn zones in a single setup. Weighing 8 pounds, it is durable enough for repeated seasonal use while remaining portable between watering zones.

This sprinkler is suited for residential lawn irrigation where a temporary or semi-permanent above-ground setup is preferred over in-ground systems. The spike mount makes it straightforward to reposition across different yard sections as watering needs change throughout the season. Landscape maintenance crews, irrigation installers, and homeowners managing large open turf areas will find the 8,500-square-foot circle pattern well matched to standard rectangular and oval lawn layouts. It does not require trenching or zone valve integration, making it a practical standalone watering solution.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools — press the spike base firmly into the soil at the desired location and connect a standard garden hose to the inlet fitting. Ensure the water supply is shut off before connecting or disconnecting the hose. Position the unit in an open area clear of overhead obstructions to allow the full circle pattern to develop without deflection. Check local water authority guidelines for any restrictions on hose-end irrigation scheduling or flow rates.
