Orbit 55032 Brass Impact Sprinkler Head 40 Ft Radius

Product Description

The ORBIT 55032 is a universal brass impact sprinkler head designed to work with or replace most 0.5 inch impact and impulse sprinkler heads in the field. Built for ground-level or riser-mounted irrigation applications, it delivers adjustable coverage up to a 40-foot radius, covering an 80-foot diameter area. The head connects via a 0.5 inch MNPT (male national pipe thread) fitting and is field-adjustable between full circle and partial circle spray patterns. An integrated distance adjustment feature and anti-backsplash arm give technicians control over spray reach and reduce unwanted overspray. Irrigation contractors and landscape maintenance professionals are the primary installers for this type of head.

This impact sprinkler head is suited for residential and light commercial landscape irrigation systems. It performs in turf and groundcover zones where broad-area coverage is needed from a single head. The adjustable arc makes it practical for both full-lawn zones and corner or edge placements requiring partial coverage. Because it is designed as a universal replacement, it is commonly used when retrofitting or upgrading aging impact-style irrigation systems without full head replacement across an entire zone.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed irrigation contractors or landscape professionals. Shut off the irrigation system water supply and depressurize the line before removing an existing head or connecting this unit. Use thread seal tape on the MNPT threads to ensure a leak-free connection. Verify operating pressure at the zone is within the head manufacturer's rated range before returning the system to service.
