How to adjust the 25BPJ-FP-ADJ-DA-TNT – AKA “The Alphabet Sprinkler” which our very own Mark Hewitt has dubbed our smartest sprinkler because it can pretty much do anything you need.
Rain Bird brass sprinkler starting with a “2” indicate a 1/2” thread and ending with a “5” indicates that it is a part circle sprinkler.
BPJ = Brass Precision Jet
ADJ = Includes adjustable pin to break up the stream of water
DA = Distance Adjustment flap
Psst – if you take a look at Orton’s original #60 impact sprinkler, it also included a distance adjustment flap. IYKYK – some innovations just never go out of style.

When you’re out in the field and find an old 20 circa the 1950’s which you can tell because of the markings “Glendora, Calif. U.S.A.” What is cool about this guy is the flap above the nozzle that helps to tap down the stream and control the throw distance. This is something Orton included on his original 60 prototype sprinkler.

We’re loving LF Sprinklers for potato irrigation! You can hear by the wind that it’s pretty gusty out here but that Rain Bird Rain Curtain is doing its job making sure there is good DU! 💦🥔

Continuing our conversation re: Orton Englehart and his "impact" on irrigation. Here is his 3rd patent for a spinner sprinkler. Launched as the #5 "Control-Flow Sprinkler" in 1941.
"My invention relates to water sprinklers of the rotating jet type and has for its principal objects to … automatically discharge a predetermined quantity of water regardless of the pressure prevailing in the supply line to which the sprinkler is connected and further, to provide simple and efficient means for minimizing leakage through the joint or bearing between the rotating body of the sprinkler and the supply pipe on which said body is mounted."

LFX x Nursery
We’re loving this application of LFX Sprinklers for the Nursery application. It’s a little strip next to some shade houses and this sprinkler has just the right throw radius to cover it. What’s great about this shot is the angle. Sure it seems a bit “messy” but you can see it’s a bit windy and also the many large water droplets that make up our Rain Curtain Technology.

LF Edge Guard Mod
While it’s probably a lot easier to do this before you install the edge guard on the sprinkler, here you see it’s pretty simple to trim up our LF Edge Guards with the pre-marked lines and a dremel.
