Shrub Sticks & Nipples

Shrub Sticks and Nipples are types of risers that support spray heads and certain nozzles. Nipples connect sprinkler heads to piping at a height that keeps the top of sprinklers level with the surface of the ground. Shrub sticks come in various heights and are used in flowerbeds and shrubbery areas to raise sprinklers to spray over the top of the plants and flowers.

Common Setups for Shrub Sticks & Nipples

Landscapes with bushes, large beds of flowers, or uneven terrain will sometimes need sprinkler emitters at strange angles. Installing a spray head on a shrub stick is one way to help water reach a wider area more evenly. By connecting a short irrigation nipple at the bottom of a shrub stick (riser), you can connect your elevated emitter to a ground irrigation line. This setup is popular because it lifts the spray head above foliage, ensuring better distribution and preventing clogging from mulch or debris.

Shrub Stick & Nipple FAQs

What sizes do shrub sticks come in?

Shrub sticks typically come in sizes ranging from 6 inches to 24 inches. These sizes help lift spray heads or emitters above plants, shrubs, or ground cover for better water coverage. Some shrub risers also offer adjustable or flexible risers for more customizable height options.

Do I need to secure shrub sticks in place?

In most cases, shrub sticks are secured in place through their connection to the irrigation system. However, if the soil is loose or if the shrub stick is tall, it may be a good idea to secure it with a stake or anchor. This will help prevent it from tipping over or becoming dislodged in the wind.

How do I know which sprinkler nipple I need for my sprinkler head?

To determine which sprinkler nipple you need for your sprinkler head, start by checking the thread size on both your sprinkler head and the irrigation system. Next, ensure both the sprinkler head and nipple have matching thread types. Finally, choose a nipple length based on how high you want the sprinkler head to sit.
