How You Can Install Bain Bird Sprinkler Heads? Guide For Beginners To Follow

How to put sprinklers in your yard? Well, this question might seem easy, right? When it comes to installing rain bird sprinkler heads, there are a lot of different heads, nozzles, and irrigation controllers on the market, which can be confusing.

Bellow we have list of those important elements which you need for setting up the sprinkler system.

Irrigation controller

This is the main part of the automatic water sprinkler system that will run it. There are both indoor and outdoor controllers. If you’re just putting in a system at home, one of the most popular irrigation timers is the Rain Bird ESP-4TM, which has a 4 zone controller that you can put in your garage.

They also make a 6 station and an 8 station model. Hunter just came out with the new Hunter I-Core series, which can be used for business purposes. You can add modules that have 6 stations each.

This controller is likely one of the best ones on the market right now, and if you want it to, it can even tell when a line breaks or a head breaks.

Valves:

Depending on how big your yard is, you’ll need a valve for each area you want to water.

When using normal city water, a typical yard has about six zones, and you can usually get by with just a 1-inch valve on all of them. Homeowners should choose Hunter SRV valves.

Big commercial applications are usually high-pressure systems that run on a pump. Hence, you usually use 2-1/2- to 3-inch valves that can handle both the higher pressures and the larger amounts of water.

Sprinklers

This is where most people can’t decide which sprinkler to use. Rotor sprinklers are used for large areas or areas with a lot of space. The Hunter PGP-ADJ is the most-used rotor.

Spray sprinklers are usually placed and spaced about 10 feet apart, and you can find nozzles that match the pattern you want (full circle, half circle, quarter circle etc.)

Pipes

It can be hard to pipe your irrigation system, so if you’re thinking about building a big one, you should have a professional do the drawing for you. The pressure will need to be right everywhere and the pipe size will change as the line goes farther.

Most rain bird sprinkler heads are pretty simple. They have a main line that is 1 inch in diameter and branches off into smaller lines. These lines are 3/4 inch in diameter and lead to the sprinklers. For more information visit our Website.
