WARNING: Check Local Codes
It is important that you check with your city, county, state, and municipal water agencies to learn the local codes
and permit requirements for sprinkler systems. Call utility providers to mark utility lines. Call before you dig; in
most areas dial 8-1-1. Call days in advance to give the utility companies time to mark their lines on your property.
CAUTION:
In order to keep your drinking water safe and free of hazards, all faucets must be protected against the
possibility of water flowing backwards from this irrigation system, into the home. If your faucet does not have
a backflow device, such as a vacuum breaker, make sure to install one before attaching this sprinkler system.
The home’s backflow device must be compliant with local and federal plumbing codes. Orbit is not responsible
for damage or harm caused by not installing and maintaining the appropriate backflow prevention device.

  • Page 2 - English - : STEP 1 Test Your Pressure Attach the pressure gauge to the desired hose faucet turn water on to find out how much pressure is available If pressure exceeds 80 psi it is recommended to use a pressure reducer If pressure is below 35 psi please note that this system may not work as designed STEP 2 Determining Sprinkler Head Spacing Your available pressure will determine how far your sprinkler heads will spray water Use this chart to help you determine how far apart to space your heads Distances are approximate and based on the Orbit recommended Ushaped design Performance will vary based on your design and whether or not you choose to use all of the sprinkler heads in the kit The spacing is based on the 75 nozzle provided with the kit Distance will vary if the nozzle is changed STEP 3 Prepare the BluLock Pipe Unroll the 125 coil of pipe making sure not to kink the pipe in the process Let the pipe rest in the sun for approximately one hour depending on how warm it is outside which will make the pipe easier to put into place While you are waiting for the pipe you can move on to the next few steps STEP 4 Design Your System For optimal coverage and health of your plants locate each sprinkler so that the spray distance reaches adjacent sprinklers Ideally the sprinkler heads spray pattern will spray over each head a short distance Orbit recommends the Ushaped design shown in this manual but this design can be adapted to the unique shape of your landscape To ensure proper pressure and spray coverage of your lawn do not put any more than three sprinkler heads on any length of pipe If you have the 2zone kit adapt this design for your second zone It is okay to have extra parts left over when you are done we added parts for varying layouts Spacing Chart 35 psi 50 psi 75 psi 15 ft 21 ft 24 ft 1524 ft Design for headtohead coverage
