Orbit 56565 Gear Drive Sprinkler 80 Ft Adjustable Coverage

Product Description

The ORBIT 56565 is a gear drive sprinkler designed for residential and light commercial irrigation applications. Built with a flow-through metal spike, it delivers quiet, gear-driven rotation across adjustable arc patterns ranging from part circle to full circle. Coverage diameter adjusts from 26 feet to 80 feet using the built-in deflector, giving installers flexibility across different zone sizes. The unit operates on water pressure between 20 and 60 psi, making it compatible with standard residential supply lines. A removable filter screen simplifies maintenance and helps protect the gear mechanism from debris. Maximum coverage area reaches 5,024 square feet per head.

This sprinkler is suited for residential lawns, commercial turf areas, and general landscape irrigation zones. It installs directly into the ground via its metal spike base, eliminating the need for a separate riser or pop-up body. Irrigation contractors and landscapers typically deploy this head as part of a low-pressure zone layout where quiet operation and broad throw radius are priorities. It ships as a single unit and is ready to connect to standard garden hose or lateral pipe fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by irrigation contractors or qualified landscapers. Press the metal spike firmly into prepared soil before connecting the water supply line. Shut off the irrigation system water supply before making any line connections or adjustments. Verify operating pressure is within the 20 to 60 psi range before activating the zone to avoid damaging the gear drive mechanism.
