Orbit Irrigation 26062 Sprinkler Guard Donut Plastic

Product Description

The Orbit Irrigation 26062 is a heavy-duty plastic sprinkler guard donut designed to prevent grass and turf from growing over pop-up sprinkler heads. Installed flush around the base of a sprinkler head, the ring creates a clear separation zone between the spray head and surrounding turf, reducing maintenance time and preventing the mower-damage and overgrowth that can interfere with head performance. The center hole measures 1.8 inches in diameter to accommodate most standard pop-up sprinkler heads. The unit weighs approximately 0.1 pounds, making it easy to handle and position during installation.

This guard donut is suited for residential and light commercial irrigation systems wherever pop-up spray heads are installed in turf areas. Landscape maintenance professionals, irrigation technicians, and grounds crews use these rings to keep heads accessible and properly seated. They are commonly installed during new head placement or added during routine maintenance when overgrowth becomes a recurring issue.

Installation Notes

Irrigation technicians or landscape maintenance professionals typically install this guard during sprinkler head installation or as a retrofit during system servicing. Shut off the irrigation zone and relieve any system pressure before adjusting or repositioning sprinkler heads. Place the guard flush against the soil surface, centered around the sprinkler body, and tamp surrounding soil as needed to hold the ring level. Avoid forcing the ring over heads that exceed the center hole diameter, as this may damage the wiper seal or riser.
