I have not had a chance to install the ones ordered but have 22 already in the lawn from a previous order. I have the water connected to the side inlet since the 1â?? feed lines were too shallow to connect to the bottom. This is good since if a car tire is driven over the pop-up the feed pipe below does not get crushed. The side feed for this pop-up is very important to me and has been hard to find.

1806, 6 inch pop up with side inlet
Connect using side inlet when ground is hard. Can use bottom connection to get sprinkler line deeper during cold weather. Spring action of pop up is strong and reliable. Very seldom leaks around head

I'm not prepared to go.the watering season without them !
It's not so much the item as it is who I am buying it from. I've been a sprinkler warehouse customer for many years. Even in the middle of the season they stock every part I need .. my recent pre season order was no rush, but I think it was delivered in two days!

Having the side inlet is a great option, it allows you a more efficient installation option to use in some instances.

How do I install a side inlet sprinkler?
A shopper
Best Answer:the side entrance can be installed the same as the bottom just make sure you put the plug in the bottom. the only problem I have seen is water can be trap in the bottom so if you live in a cold climate winterizing with enough air is a must.

which nozzel do you order for this spray head ???
M D.
Best Answer:It depends on your application. If you are trying to water a lawn I used the Rainbird fix pattern nozzles. Select the distance and pattern that you need. If you have a lot of curves that you are working around I like the variable arc nozzles. They give you a bit more control. All of the nozzles have a screw in the center so that you can adjust the distance. I would just purchase a variety and mix and match. I used the Rainbird SQ series in my flower beds where I wanted a reduced flow rate so that I could slowly soak the area. I hope this helps.

what is the radius how far will it spray the 1806 rain bird 6 inch
me-me m.
Best Answer:Depends on the nozzle you put on the sprinkler and how much pressure in your system. I bought a variety of nozzles so I could change them out as my landscape plants grow. The 8 and 10H nozzles work well for my yard, as they throw water 8 & 10 feet radius. Other nozzles (Hunter) rotate and can throw water out 16ft if needed. The radius can be adjusted as well. Good luck!! Dave
