What is this kind of sprinkler called?

Question

I have one and can't figure out how to set it properly. I no longer have the directions and don't see a brand name on the sprinkler. I need to Google to find setting directions.

When he was small, my youngest son called this type of sprinkler a 'rascal,' presumably for the sound it made.  Is it called a rotating sprinkler?  There should be a couple of pins under the top mechanism that you can move to limit the area it sprays.  Good luck!

Dande,OR · Answer

They have a couple of names Pulsating or Impulse Sprinklers .

Mike · Answer

Many years ago I went to high school with the son of the guy who invented that or something very similar. Back then they were called 'Rain Bird'

Linda · Answer

it's an impules sprinkler, there should be two clip looking things on the stem, below the actual sprinkling part that adjust the left and right 'travel' limits. There will be a small lever thingie hanging down that will strike these and reverse the direction. You should also be able to flip that lever up and out of the way of the limiter clips to allow the sprinkler to make a full circle.

The good ones are put out by Railbird.  I am sure that there are other manufacturers this is just the one that I am familiar with.  We called them Railbird Sprinklers.

Annette · Answer

Rainbird is correct

Lyn · Answer

The two metal 'clips' on the bottom are used to spray in less than than 360 degrees. by flipping  the little 'S'shaped bit above them towards the metal clips, it stops spraying in a clockwise direction and sprays anti-clockwise until it reaches the little silver stopper on the other side, where it sprays clockwise etc. To prevent it spraying a single stream of water screw the screw on the water jet in and it spreads to more of a mist spray.

I agree with Sonja, looks like a rainbird. Must be a Water works supply house in your area. Used in residental & comercial landscape & golf courses. Easy research.

Sue2013 · Answer

There are two levers under the sprayer to move to stop the spray at the places you want to have watered. You can place one to the left and one to the right, but if you want the sprinkler to go all around there is a U shaped lever in the back of the sprayer that you pull up and it will spray all in a circle when the water is turned on.  I hope this helps.

Barbara · Answer

Rainbird is a brand name.  This is an IMPULSE sprinkler and sprays side to side or in a circle.  An OSCILLATING sprinkler is the kind that has multiple streams of water that spray upwards and goes back and forth.
