- Hey Everyone! The Sprinkler Channel welcomes you back for another episode of all things amazing with sprinkler parts! Today we are publishing one of my favorites and perhaps it's because it deals with colors. Today we are diving into sprinkler nozzles for pop-up heads. These Rain Bird nozzles can be used with Rain Bird pop-up heads or with Hunter pop-up heads. Don't forget the filter when you purchase these. These are normally purchased separately from the pop-up sprinkler bodies and these are just some of the possibilities. Come along for the joyous journey of sprinkler nozzles that you never knew could be so interesting while so informative. There is so much to discuss with other variants of these nozzles yet discussed such as the adjustable ones and the MP Rotators that are made by Hunter as well as the comparable ones that are made by Rain Bird. Stay tuned for more fun and educative tutorials that will keep you in the know-how when it comes to your sprinkler system. Oh, and don't forget to share this resource with others so we can help as many people as possible become self-reliant when it comes to sprinklers!

thank you for the great video. Answers many of my questions
I have watched over a dozen videos and yours has to be the most informative! I really appreciate the time you put in to make this video! Thank you!
Thanks Juan!
Thanks for sharing. You've explained this very clearly and efficiently.
Thank you for posting this video. I bought a place with an existing sprinkler system and now I know what I have. ✌😁
Thank you for this video! The presentation, information & possible solutions are definitely much appreciated!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 STARS
👍 By far the best video explaining the Rainbird nozzles. Great delivery .
Thank you. This was very helpful. I have several dry spots. The builder of my home installed the wrong parts. I know what I need now.
Undercut Sprinkler! Awesome.
Whew! Thank God for this video!! Now I can fix my sprinklers. :)
Fantastic info. This will help me tremendously. Thank you.
Very useful for us beginners, or even those with some experience.
Thank you so much. A Wealth of info in one short spot.
Thanks for sharing. I was able to fix my sprinklers.
Well done. Very helpful. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome explanation and informative video. I now know exactly what the filter looks like, the meaning of the colors on the heads and possibly why I am getting a V spray. New subbie! Thanks.
Very informative. Just what I needed to know! thank you
Thank you so much! This was so helpful for me.
Thanks as always for the info. Well explained. Been so frustrated by dry spots close to some sprinklers. I’ll definitely try out the under-cut nozzle. Appreciated.
Thank you. That was exactly what I needed.
Thanks for the info!
Beautiful!
great overview! I wish I had seen this at the beginning of the semester! I have an irrigation class, but have been struggling so much with diving right into the math. An overview is super helpful - especially for visual learners!
Check out all our videos. Let us know what other videos would help.
Thanks for the video!
Great info. thanks.
Very Informative
Nice job... I'm looking forward to seeing your talk on the adjustables...
Thanks, hoping to have a video on them before too long.
NICE REVIEW
Fantastic video, thank you! My plumber just told me that the 180 degree sprinkler heads are no longer available. Now maybe I can install them myself.
I don’t know how any sprinkler system can survive without the most commonly used 180 degree. I wonder what he meant specifically. Thanks for commenting.
Good solid video.
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing your wisdom. I'm having the exact problem you are speaking of where the water is overshooting the area and not saturating the area around it. I need to find those "U" heads.
Yes the undercut nozzles are great for that situation.
Thanks for great video. What's the best way to cap a line no longer in use?
Pop head off and put 1/2” thread cap on elbow, might want to mark it before burying to locate later.
Great explanation. Thank you. I don’t have a lot of success shutting off heads with the top screw. And does the bottom screw do anything to adjust the head?
The bottom screw does not. You might just want to replace the nozzle. Under normal conditions, it should shut off 95% of the water flow coming out of the nozzle.
@@thesprinklerchannel appreciate it!
Good info. I wish you covered how to identify the types of tips that mist vs have the little streams.
Thanks for this suggestion. Hope to have something soon!
@@thesprinklerchannel After spending some time at HD yesterday, it seems that the streaming tips arent the same as these, but rather are all adjustable range tips. You just select the length of the spray you want.
About half of my 1800 prs have the filter in them and about a quarter of them are original heads before 2010,and on the street strips zone,my yard used to have the ones from the late 90s or pre 1800 and none of them have the filter in them.
Definitely a good idea to have filters. Very inexpensive.
Hi, thank you so much for guiding through the sprinkler nozzles. Really helpful material. Greatly appreciate it. Quick question with regards to nozzle's range. Are these 12ft, 15ft, etc. for radius or diameter? Just wanted to confirm if we have 15ft nozzle, this will give us 30ft diameter?
I would greatly appreciate your guidance on that. Thanks so much in advance.
It’s radius (with ideal water pressure)
@@thesprinklerchannel thanks so much! Whats the ideal/recommended water pressure for these rain bird sprinklers? The hose says 6atm max
@@przybylskibartek Usually 30 PSI
Bro,, we already ordered the Anna going to arrive at Wednesday, 10 foot nozzle
Did you ever post a video on the adjustable nozzles that you briefly discussed at the end of this video? I can't seem to find it if so. Thank you.
Thank you Jereme for the reminder. Unfortunately not yet, I will work on getting this video out asap.
Thank you so much for all the information! Just one question where is the best place to buy the new heads and filters?
If you have a local store that just sells sprinkler parts that would be the best. Each place has different vendors. Your local lawn care or landscape company would know as well.
Tiffany I ordered mine from the Home Depot web site. Going into the store was fruitless for me.
My new "U" pop up double spraying nozzle with filter should arrive in like 3 days.
Sadly Lowes sold me 2 sprinklers and neither of which solves the problem.
Thanks to sprinkler channel I'm getting exactly what I need.
Helped alot. What is the color white for? I have 6 in since 2008
I don’t recall a white. What is the inscription on the top say?
I will subscribe to your channel .
If I put a nozzle on my current pop up rain bird sprinkler that throws 5 feet but want one that throws “example” 8 feet, I can just change the nozzle to the new one ?
Correct! I would also check/change filter along with nozzle.
A landscaper must have nicked a brown sprinkler head with a mower because a large section of the brown part is missing and water shoots straight up into the air. I’m wondering if I should go over to Home Depot and search for just the replacement head? I know nothing about sprinklers or irrigation systems.
Yep, just unscrew the nozzle and take it with you. If you have a local sprinkler store that might be better. Easy fix!
My MPR nozzles from 5-Q to 15-H don't adjust radius at all turning center screw. Any ideas why not?
Can you screw them down and shut off most of the water flow?
@@thesprinklerchannel Thanks for the reply. No, sir, the screws screw down into the head unit until they fall out, or unscrew until they stop - no change in spray radius
@@roberthenry5017 did you install the filter before you installed the sprinkler head? You need the filter for the radius screw to function
@@Clubsub256 Thanks for your reply! I didn't think of that - the local supplier just has boxes of the heads alone. I'll try the heads with spare filters I have laying around - hope they're not too brand-specific!
@@roberthenry5017 awesome, that should solve the problem, if it doesn’t, try brand specific filters, but any filter should work
What is the internal threading specs for these heads?
Good question. Wondering if their website even says - I know Hunter and rain bird nozzles are interchangeable.
Tried finding it on rainbirds site and couldnt.@@thesprinklerchannel
I have a purple one, why it's different?
Hmmm can you post a picture here? What does the marking say? Might just be sun-faded blue
No one has EVER said what all the numbers and letters were. Thanks..
"Only a dollar!" You must be buying them by the truckload.
How much are they where you are?
Where is the other videos with the other nozzles?
Coming soon!
Let us know which ones in particular would help you the most. Thanks!
How can I learn how to do sprinklers besides working for someone?
Just jumping in the cold water and doing it. You’ll never know everything. Just have a hungry appetite to learn. You got this!
@@thesprinklerchannel thank you, no book you recommend or just your videos?
@@thesprinklerchannel we have a value no pump… so much to learn.
cant see what you're pointing to
Sorry about that. What is the time on the video where you are referring to and I can clarify.
