What is a sprinkler's "K-factor The K-factor is the nozzles's / sprinkler's constant at a given volume flow rate and is generally calculated with a formula: K = Q / √ p K = sprinkler's / nozzle's constant
Q = volume flow rate (l/min)
p = pressure at the sprinkler / nozzle (bar) examples: K-factor 57 = 171 l/min / √ 10 bar
K-factor 80 = 240 l/min / √ 9 bar
K-factor 115 = 345 l/min / √ 9 bar Generally the thread (DN) is associated with a K-factor. 3/8″ DN 10 K-factor 57
½″ DN 15 K-factor 80
½″ DN 15 K-factor 115
¾″ DN 20 K-factor 160 == ==
What else can I help you with?
Does the size of the hole in a spinning sprinkler in a can effect how fast the sprinkler will spin?
Yes, the size of the hole in a spinning sprinkler can affect how fast the sprinkler will spin. A larger hole will allow more water to flow out, increasing the force that drives the rotation of the sprinkler. Conversely, a smaller hole will reduce the force and may result in a slower spinning speed.
What unit of measure will you use in sprinkler container?
In the SI system the units are litre or cubic meter.
What is the voltage to a sprinkler valve from the control panel?
Most common North American garden sprinkler systems use 24 volts AC. The control units usually plug into a common 120 volt AC receptacle. Inside the control unit there is a transformer that reduces the voltage from 120 volts to 24 volts AC. If you look on the side of the sprinkler valve coil you will see the voltage and the amperage draw of the coil. It is the amperage draw of the coils that determines the number of sprinkler that should be on one sprinkler branch from the main water manifold. The total amperage of the circuit determines what the size of the wire should be to control the sprinkler coils.
Do break dancers that spin on their heads spin in the opposite direction when they are south of the Equator?
No, break dancers spinning on their heads do not change direction when they are south of the Equator. The direction of their spin is determined by their personal preference and technique, not their location relative to the Equator.
How does air pressure help in watering lawns with a hose or a sprinkler?
Air pressure helps by pushing water through the hose or sprinkler system, allowing for a consistent flow of water to reach the lawn. The pressure also helps to create a strong spray from the sprinkler, ensuring that water is distributed evenly across the lawn.

How can I locate sprinkler heads in my yard?
To locate sprinkler heads in your yard, you can walk around the area where the sprinkler system is installed and look for small, circular metal or plastic covers on the ground. These covers usually indicate the location of the sprinkler heads underneath. You can also refer to the original sprinkler system layout plan or contact a professional for assistance in locating the sprinkler heads.
What is the minimum distance that materials can be stored relative to sprinkler heads?
The minimum distance that materials can be stored relative to sprinkler heads is typically 18 inches.
How can I get sprinkler heads to pop up without water?
To get sprinkler heads to pop up without water, you can manually lift them up using your hands or a tool designed for that purpose. This can help you test the functionality of the sprinkler heads without needing water to activate them.
How can I improve the efficiency of my sprinkler system in areas with low water pressure?
To improve the efficiency of your sprinkler system in areas with low water pressure, you can consider installing a booster pump to increase water pressure, using sprinkler heads designed for low pressure, adjusting the spacing of sprinkler heads to ensure even coverage, and reducing the number of sprinkler heads in each zone to optimize water distribution.
Which is the best sprinkler heads?
The best sprinkler heads depend on your specific irrigation needs and lawn size. For large areas, gear-driven or impact sprinkler heads are often preferred due to their durability and coverage range. For smaller gardens or flower beds, stationary or oscillating sprinkler heads may be more effective. Ultimately, the best choice balances efficiency, coverage, and ease of maintenance for your particular landscape.
How many gpm does a commercial fire sprinkler put out?
There are many variables. The sprinkler heads come in different sizes. Rate of flow will be determined by the head-size, the frictional losses in the supply pipework, and the head of water available. In a single building example, sprinkler heads of exactly the same type, and fed by exactly the same bore pipework, on three different floors will give three different flow rates. Simple answer? "It varies"
Fire sprinkler heads gallons per minute?
100
How can I properly adjust my lawn sprinkler heads for optimal watering coverage?
To properly adjust your lawn sprinkler heads for optimal watering coverage, follow these steps: Turn on the sprinkler system and observe the water pattern. Use a screwdriver to adjust the spray distance and direction of each sprinkler head. Make sure the water is reaching all areas of your lawn evenly. Check for any leaks or clogs in the sprinkler heads. Adjust the water pressure if needed to ensure proper coverage. Regularly check and adjust the sprinkler heads as needed to maintain optimal watering coverage.
Is it easy to relocate sprinklers to different areas of my lawn?
If you utilize an in-ground sprinkler system, relocating sprinklers will require you to tear up most of your lawn as you will need to reroute pipes and sprinkler heads. For above ground sprinkler systems, relocating sprinkler heads is fairly easy and is completely dependent on the length of your hose.
How to mark sprinkler heads for proper identification and maintenance?
To mark sprinkler heads for proper identification and maintenance, use a labeling system that includes the location, type, and maintenance schedule of each sprinkler head. This helps ensure they are easily identifiable and properly maintained.
How does a sprinkler valve work to control the flow of water in a sprinkler system?
A sprinkler valve works by opening and closing to control the flow of water in a sprinkler system. When the valve is open, water is allowed to flow through the system and reach the sprinkler heads, which then spray water onto the desired area. When the valve is closed, water flow is stopped, preventing water from reaching the sprinkler heads. This allows for precise control over when and where water is distributed in the sprinkler system.
