1.6 mm Ground-Stake Rotary Micro Sprinkler

1.6 mm Ground-Stake Rotary Micro Sprinkler

1.6 mm rotary micro sprinkler for ground-supported nursery and garden watering, rated at 130 L/h at 2 bar.

Position the head for the growing area

Position the compact rotary head on a suitable ground support beside nursery plants or garden beds. The blue rotor sits directly above the body, leaving the rotating part free of a tall surrounding bridge.

The stake illustration shows one way to support this upright head and route a small supply tube. Check the connection size and whether the stake, tubing and connector are included with the chosen package. Place the support in firm soil and leave space around the rotor so leaves cannot stop it turning.

Match nozzle output to the irrigation zone

The 1.6 mm nozzle is rated at 130 L/h at 2 bar, with a nominal spray radius of 4 m. These figures describe testing at 2 m above ground in windless conditions. They are a starting point for layout; foliage, mounting height and wind can change the area that receives useful water.

The family image shows different nozzle choices. This product uses the 1.6 mm nozzle; select by the stated size and flow rather than color alone.

Plan supply and watering time

Allow 130 L/h for each head when estimating zone demand, then account for losses along the pipe. Measure pressure at the last head while the complete zone operates. Test overlapping coverage at the actual mounting height and observe moisture in the root zone before choosing the watering duration.

Flush and inspect the outlet

Flush the supply line before connecting the head and use filtration appropriate for the nozzle opening. Inspect the rotor for trapped debris and check joints for leaks. Clean with water and a soft brush; avoid pushing a metal point into the opening because enlarging it changes discharge.
