Melnor XT45000 Oscillating Lawn Sprinkler 4000 Sq Ft

Product Description

The MELNOR XT45000 is an oscillating lawn sprinkler designed to deliver even, gentle water distribution across up to 4,000 square feet of turf or planting beds. The sprinkler features a fully adjustable range control that modifies the sweep arc of the oscillating tube, letting the installer or operator dial in coverage length in the forward direction, the backward direction, or both simultaneously. A Dirt-Resistant Drive mechanism allows water to bypass the internal gears when particulates are present, maintaining consistent tube motion and preventing puddling even when the supply source is a well or contains grit. Typical installed weight is 1.29 pounds, making it easy to reposition across a property.

The XT45000 is suited for residential lawn and garden irrigation in single-family or small multi-family settings. It connects to a standard garden hose and is positioned on level ground to maximize the oscillating tube sweep. The adjustable range control makes it practical for watering narrow strips, full rectangular zones, or irregularly shaped beds by limiting the arc to the coverage shape needed. It is commonly used by homeowners and grounds maintenance personnel who manage turf, flower beds, or vegetable gardens without a permanent in-ground irrigation system.

Installation Notes

Placement and setup is performed by homeowners or grounds maintenance personnel without specialized trade licensing. Turn off the water supply at the hose bib before connecting or disconnecting the sprinkler to avoid pressure surges. Position the unit on a flat surface within the target zone and adjust the range control sliders before opening the supply valve. Inspect the hose connection for leaks at initial startup and hand-tighten the coupling if dripping is observed.
