MEASURE WATER FLOW
You need to determine the available water flow for your sprinkler system so you’ll know how many sprinkler heads can run at one time. Water flow is measured in gallons per minute or GPM.
Measure Your Water Pressure
- Attach an Orbit pressure gauge (part # 53020, 91130) to an unregulated outside faucet*. Unregulated means a line without a pressure regulator.
- Open the faucet and record the reading on the gauge. No water should be running during the test.
PSI—-
Measure the Main Water Service Line
- Wrap a piece of string around your main water service line then measure the length of the string.
- Use the table to convert the string length to pipe size (diameter).
Note: The main water service line is the pipe that runs from the water meter to the house. If you’re connecting to a line other than the main line, measure the line that you will be connecting to.
DETERMINE SIZE OF SERVICE LINE
Length of string “ | 2″ | 2-3/4″ | 3-1/4″ | 3-1/2″ | 4-1/4 |
Copper pipe size | 1/2″ | 3/4″ | 1” | ||
PVC or galvanized pipe size | 1/2″ | 3/4″ | 1” |
System Capacity
Use the main line pipe size and pressure (PSI) taken to determine the gallons per minute (GPM) capacity of your system.
Water pressure (PSI)
Main line size | 35 LB. | 40 LB. | 45 LB. | 50LB. | 55LB. | 60LB. | 65LB. | 70LB| | 75 LB |
½” | 3.5 | 5.0 | 6.0 | 6.5 | 7.0 | 7.5 | 8.0 | 9.0 | 9.5 |
¾” | 7.5 | 9.0 | 10.0 | 12.0 | 13.0 | 14.0 | 15.0 | 16.0 | 17.5 |
1” | 10.0 | 11.5 | 13.5 | 15.0 | 16.0 | 17.5 | 18.5 | 20.0 | 21.0 |
* If an unregulated faucet is unavailable, call the local water district for an estimated PSI.
Important: If your water pressure exceeds 80 PSI, use a pressure reducer. Excessive pressure may damage system.
MEASURE & DRAW PROPERTY
Measure your property and create a top down view on graph paper (supplied in this guide).
Make the drawing to scale. For example, each one-inch square represents 10 feet on the graph paper, or each small square = 1 foot.
Draw Property to Scale.
Include:
: Buildings, sidewalks, patios, driveways and trees

SELECT HEADS
Select sprinkler heads you would like to use for each area and make a note of each type on your drawing.
Select Head Type for Each Section
Sprinklers are generally divided into three categories:
- Large Area Sprinklers
Areas larger than 25′ x 25′
- Medium Area Sprinklers
Areas smaller than 25′ x 25′
- Small Area Sprinklers
Areas with flowers, shrubs, and ground cover
Note: Refer to page 22 (Selecting Your Products) to determine the best sprinkler for your yard.
Select Heads For Each Area
Our example uses:
- Voyager II in the back yard
- Spring-Loaded Pop-Up (with adjustable nozzle) in the front and side yard
- Mushroom bubblers in the front flower areas
Large Area Heads
For large open areas such as backyards and play areas. Space heads 15′ to 45′ apart (depending on sprinkler type).
- Gear Drive – Voyager II and Saturn III
– Easy to adjust
– Produces a smooth quiet rotating spray
– Closed case design resists clogging from grit, sand and heavy grasses
- Impact (Satellite? and 1/2″ Brass Impact)
– Simple and reliable flow-through design that utilizes an efficient impact mechanism
Medium Area Heads
Commonly used in front and side yards
- Spring-Loaded Pop-Up with adjustable pattern
– Easy to adjust pattern 25° – 360°
- Spring-Loaded Pop-Up with fixed pattern
Medium Area Heads – Available in Full, 1/2, 1/4 and strip pattern nozzle
Small Area Heads
Commonly used for flooding flower beds and ground cover or to spot water trees and shrubs.
- Mushroom Bubbler II”
- Adjustable flow
PLAN HEAD PLACEMENT
Head to Head Coverage
Proper sprinkler placement allows even watering and reduces dry patches.
Proper placement requires:
- Head to head coverage: Each sprinkler should spray to the head beside and across it.
- Equal spacing between heads: Permits uniform water distribution.
Placement Example: Good
- Good Overlap
- Head to head coverage
Placement Example: Bad
There is not enough overlap. The center is not getting water.
- Not enough overlap
- No coverage in center
Narrow Strips
On narrow strips of grass use strip pattern spray heads and space them evenly apart.
These heads may be used for narrow strips up to 4 feet wide.
Evenly space strip heads on narrow sections.
Place Heads in Corners
- Begin by placing a sprinkler in each corner on your drawing.
- Use a compass to draw the spray pattern.
Note: Use chart 2 to obtain spray distance.
Add Heads and Adjust Spacing
- Add sprinklers along the sides or center to increase coverage.
CREATING WATERING ZONES OR STATIONS
A watering zone or station consists of a group of sprinklers attached to one valve.
The number of heads per zone will be determined in this section.
Purpose of Zones
Zones are designed to:
- Maintain adequate water flow for optimal spray coverage (Avoid dry patches)
- Separate areas based on watering requirements
– Shade vs. Full Sun Areas
– Lawn vs. Shrubs
Important:
- Do not mix sprinkler types in the same zone (e.g. Gear Drive, Impacts, Pop-Ups and Bubblers)
- Do not exceed the maximum sprinkler heads recommended per zone
- Use the recommended pipe size in this guide. Smaller diameter pipe will decrease the water flow.
Group Heads of Same Type in the Same Area
Starting with large area heads, use the following example as a guide.
- Identify all large area heads on your drawing.
Divide Large Area Heads into Zones
STEP 1: Maximum Heads Per Zone
Use the following information (collected earlier) to determine zone capacity:
- Main Line Size
- Water Pressure (PSI)
- Large area head selected
Use Orbit’s Quick Reference (Chart 1) to determine the maximum heads per zone for your sprinkler system.
Example — We have determined that our home has a “Main Line” size of 3/4” with a “Static Water Pressure” of 60 psi. Based on this information, and using the Quick Reference, we see that we cannot use more than three Voyager II° sprinklers in the same zone.
STEP 2: Identifying Sprinklers in a Zone
Begin grouping large area heads; ensure you do not exceed your “Maximum Heads per zone number’
Example — Since we determined (in our example above) that 3 Voyager II° heads is the maximum zone capacity, we grouped all large area heads into 2 zones.
Step 3: Medium and Small Area Head Zones
Repeat steps 1 & 2 to determine and identify zones for Medium Areas Heads. Repeat again for Small Area Heads.
Step 4: Number Each Zone
- Assign a number to each zone.
PLAN VALVE PLACEMENT
You’ll need to select a location for your main shut-off valve and the best location for the sprinkler valve manifold.
Main Shut-Off Valve
The Main Sprinkler Shut-Off valve is the valve that shuts off water to the entire sprinkler system. Connection to the main water supply is “downstream” of your water meter. Mark the location on your plan.
Valve Manifold Location
One valve will be used for each zone. Valves that are grouped together are called a manifold.
It’s common to install one manifold in the front yard and one in back.
Mark the Location on Your Plan
Tip: The valve manifold(s) should be installed in an accessible location, away from heavy foot traffic, where it is easy to operate and service. It’s also a good idea to locate the manifold on elevated ground, to avoid water accumulating around the valves.
Plan Backflow Prevention
A backflow prevention device is used to stop foreign material from siphoning back into the main water supply. The local code information you gathered from your water district should include the type of device to install and where and how it should be installed. Plan a location for your backflow prevention device and draw it on your layout.
Three common types
Note: For certain Canadian areas Dual Check Valves are used
DIAGRAM PIPE LAYOUT
You need to plan and draw the layout for your main sprinkler line and lines for each zone.
Main Sprinkler Line
Draw the Main Sprinkler Line Route
Use a direct route to draw the main sprinkler line from the main shut-off valve to the front and back yard manifolds.
Important: Your main sprinkler line should be 1 size larger than the water main supply line.
Header and Lateral Lines Guidelines
Header lines — Attaches to a valve and supplies water to the lateral lines
- Do not use pipe smaller than 1″
- Do not attach sprinklers to this line
Lateral lines — Pipe that branches off from the header line and supply water to the sprinkler heads
- Do not use pipe smaller than 3/4″
Good Layout Example
This is a good layout because the water is evenly distributed between the lateral lines and individual sprinklers.
Bad Layout Example
Header Line
Draw a header line from the manifold to each zone. Header lines will be intersected with lateral lines.
Sprinkler heads should not be installed on this line.
Use 1″ Pipe
Lateral Lines
Draw lateral lines that connect the header line to sprinkler heads.
These lines should be branching, not circular.
Use 3/4″ pipe
PLAN TIMER LOCATION
Select a location near a power source and where it’s easy to access. You’ll need to be able to run sprinkler wire to each valve. If you select a location outside, the timer should be made for outdoor mounting or protected with a weather resistant box.
Timer Placement & Sprinkler Wire Route
- Mark the planned location for the sprinkler timer
- Draw the route the sprinkler wire will use to connect the timer to the front and rear manifolds

This section will show you how to install your sprinkler system.
SYSTEM LAYOUT
Marking Head and Pipe Location
Begin by marking the entire layout
- Use Orbit sprinkler flags to mark each head.
- Use ground paint to Painted Lines .mark where sprinkler pipes will run.
Important:
- Refer to your local code information for any regulations about connecting to the water main.
- Before digging, contact utility companies and have them mark utility lines.
- Obtain permits (if required).
- Always use gloves and safety goggles when installing.
CONNECT TO WATER MAIN
Dig Access Hole
1. Dig to expose the water service line (downstream from the meter).
2. Shut off the main water supply (located next to the meter).
3. Open a faucet to relieve pressure
Connect to Main Line
Install a Slip Compression Tee
- Clean off the water service pipe (downstream from meter).
- Cut out a section of pipe — half the length of the tee.
- Install nuts and washers on each Water Service Line side of the pipe.
- Insert the slip joint tee and tighten the nuts with a wrench.
Shut-Off Valve – Non-Freezing Area
Install a Gate or Ball valve after the tee and cover it with an Orbit® valve box to protect it and for easy access to the valve.
- Use fittings to install a Gate or Ball valve on the tee.
- Turn on water to flush line of debris.
- Cover with an Orbit valve box.
Important: Frost Areas or Basement Located Water Meters
Do not use the example above if you are connecting to a water supply line that is located in an area with freezing temperatures or a line that has a water meter located in the basement.
For help in making the proper connections go to www.orbitonline.com for detailed recommendations or contact your home improvement center.
BACKFLOW PREVENTION
Install a back-flow prevention device (if required). Use local code information to determine:
- What type of device is required
- How it needs to be installed
- Who is authorized to install it
DIG TRENCHES
Using the painted lines as your guide (see System Layout, Page 13) dig trenches to the depth required by local codes.
Important: Refer to your local codes to determine how deep your header and lateral lines need to be. Always contact your local utility companies before digging.
Methods for Digging Trenches
- By Hand – Ideal for soft soils and very small jobs
- With Trenching Machine – Available at equipment rental dealers
Under Driveways and Sidewalks
Use an Orbit Walkway Tunnel Kit (part # 53333, 91129) to tunnel under obstacles.
- Dig a trench on both sides.
- Attach a garden hose to the tunneling pipe.
- Turn on the garden hose faucet.
- Work the pipe back and forth, allowing the water spray to form a tunnel.
WORKING WITH PIPE
Decide whether you’ll use PVC or Polyethylene pipe for your system. Both types are easy to use, but they are assembled differently. Read about each type below to make your selection.
Working with PVC Pipe
- Using an Orbit cutting tool, cut pipe to length and clean the end.
- Apply PVC primer and PVC cement, using instructions provided.
- Insert pipe into fitting.
Working with Polyethylene Pipe
- Using an Orbit cutting tool, cut poly-pipe to length.
- Slide a stainless steel clamp over the end of the pipe.
- Insert a barbed fitting into the pipe.
- Tighten the clamp over the pipe and fitting.
Warning: Poly pipe should not be used for the main line to the manifold.
7. INSTALL MAIN LINE
Use PVC schedule 40 (or other pressure-rated pipe) to connect the main shut-off valve to the valve manifold(s).
Important: Use pipe one size larger than your supply line. Using pipe smaller than the main supply line will reduce your water flow and will lead to gaps in spray coverage (For example, use 1″ pipe if your supply line is 3/4″)
Installing main line pressure-rated pipe to front and back manifold
8. INSTALL MANIFOLD
The easiest way to install a manifold is with an Orbit Pre-Assembled Manifold. Purchase a manifold with one valve for each sprinkler zone.
- Installs in minutes
- Works with both Poly-Pipe and PVC Systems
- Cost effective
- Expandable for future sprinkler additions
Note: Anti-siphon pre-assembled manifolds are available for areas requiring use of an anti-siphon valve
Pre-Assembled Manifold
Connecting the Manifold to the Main Line
.
- Before connecting the manifold, open the main shut-off valve to flush dirt from the main sprinkler line.
- Connect the Pre-Assembled Manifold to the main sprinkler line using a 1″ threaded fitting.
9. CONNECT ZONES
Install Header Lines
- Connect 1″ pipe to each valve and run it to the assigned zone.
- Use fittings (elbow, cross or tee) for each
Install Lateral Lines
- Connect 3/4″ lateral lines to the header line.
- Run lateral line to each sprinkler location.
- Install Tees or Elbow at each sprinkler location.
Freezing areas –install line drains
Lateral and Header Lines
Canister Heads: Install an automatic drain valve in the bottom inlet of all canisters.
End of Sprinkler Line: Install an automatic drain valve after the last head on the end of each sloped line.
Low Spots: Install a tee and automatic drain valve for low spots on sprinkler head lines.
Main Line
Manifold: Remove the end cap and install a ball or gate manual drain valve.
10. INSTALL RISERS & HEADS
Install Risers (Without Heads)
Risers are designed to bring the sprinkler head up to ground height. A wide selection of risers are available. Select the riser that best fits your needs.
Swing Joints & Riser Flex
- Easy to adjust sprinkler height
- Resists impact and cracking
- Useful for placing heads in hard to reach areas
Multi-Flex” Risers
- Comes in various lengths
- Deflects impact
Aluminum Riser with Adjustable Nozzle
- Adjusts in Height as Plant Grows – 16″ to 30″
- Easy Pattern Adjustment — 25° to 360°
Flush Sprinkler Lines — Prior to Installing Heads
- Ensure PVC glue has dried adequately.
- Turn on the main line sprinkler valve.
- Manually turn on one valve at a time (see valve instruction booklet).
- Run each valve for a few minutes.
Installing Heads and Testing
- Attach sprinkler heads to each riser and adjust the height to proper level.
- Place enough soil in the trench to stabilize heads but don’t fill the trench.
- Manually turn on one valve at a time.
- Check for leaks.
Important: Adjust heads for proper spray pattern and check for adequate head to head coverage.
11. CONNECTING SPRINKLER WIRE
Sprinkler wire consists of one white (common) and 4 or 6 colored strands. The sprinkler wire needs to have at least one more wire strand than the number of valves being installed.
Wiring the Valves
Using wire nuts and grease caps connect the wires as shown:
- Connect one wire from each valve to the white (common) sprinkler wire.
- Connect the 2nd wire from each valve to a separate color wire.
Tip: Orbit’s Pre-Assembled Manifold with Snap-Wire Connection makes wiring valves easy. Just plug in the valve jack into the water-tight Snap-Wire housing and insert sprinkler wire into the other side. No confusing wiring or messy grease caps (see page 22 for more info).
Run Sprinkler Wires to Timer
Most often you can use an existing sprinkler pipe trench to run your sprinkler wire. In areas of frequent digging, a conduit pipe is used to protect the wire.
Wiring Your Sprinkler Timer
- Unplug your timer from the power source (if hard wired turn off appropriate breaker switch or remove fuse).
- Connect each colored sprinkler wire to a separate numbered terminal (on the timer).
- Connect the white (common) wire to the common terminal on the timer.
- Restore power to your timer.
- To test proper wiring, manually run each station from the timer.
BURYING SPRINKLER PIPE AND VALVES
Before Burying Trenches:
1. Check all fittings, heads and valves for leaks.
2. Adjust sprinkler height to proper level.
3. Adjust each head for proper spray pattern and spray distance. (Use your drawings as a reference.)
4. cover manifolds with an orbit valve box
