The Orbit 58308N Brass Impact Sprinkler on Tripod Base is a dependable, professional-grade hose-end sprinkler designed for medium to large yards, pastures, gardens, and agricultural applications. The all-metal construction — combining brass, aluminum, and stainless steel — delivers the kind of durability that stands up to high water pressures and harsh outdoor conditions without rusting, breaking, or failing over years of use.
At the heart of this unit is Orbit's classic brass impact sprinkler head, which uses a flow-through design that is highly resistant to clogging — even when run with secondary water sources such as pond water, canal water, or reclaimed water. The head adjusts from a narrow partial arc all the way to a full 360° circle, covering up to a 90-foot diameter (45-foot radius) at full throw. The deflector shield and diffuser screw give you additional control over stream angle and droplet size, letting you fine-tune coverage for delicate seedlings or established turf alike. An anti-backsplash arm keeps the spray pattern consistent and aimed in the right direction throughout each rotation cycle.
The adjustable metal tripod base is what sets this unit apart from stake-mounted impact sprinklers. It extends from 22" to 48" in height — tall enough to water over mature vegetable plants, shrubs, or row crops — and its weighted legs keep it stable on uneven ground. When not in use, the tripod collapses to a compact footprint for easy storage. Connection is simple via a gooseneck fitting that attaches to any standard ¾" garden hose. A replaceable mesh filter is built into the inlet to protect the sprinkler head from debris.

What size hose does this sprinkler connect to?
The Orbit 58308N connects via a gooseneck attachment with a ¾" standard garden hose fitting. The gooseneck design makes hooking up your hose quick and easy without awkward angles. The sprinkler head itself uses a ½" NPT threaded connection to the tripod riser.
What is the maximum coverage area?
When set to a full 360° circle and operated at optimal pressure, the sprinkler covers up to a 90-foot diameter — approximately 6,360 square feet. The throw radius is adjustable from 20 to 45 feet using the deflector shield and diffuser screw, so you can scale coverage down for smaller spaces or tender plants.
Can I use this with secondary or reclaimed water?
Yes. One of the standout features of impact sprinklers is their flow-through design, which makes them highly resistant to clogging even when used with secondary water from ponds, canals, or wells. A replaceable mesh filter at the inlet provides an additional layer of protection.
How do I adjust the spray distance and droplet size?
Two controls let you dial in the output: the deflector shield alters the trajectory of the stream to shorten or extend throw distance, and the diffuser screw breaks up the stream to create finer or coarser droplets. Turning the diffuser screw clockwise increases droplet breakup for gentler watering; counterclockwise produces a more concentrated stream for maximum reach.
What is the tripod height range?
The metal tripod adjusts from 22 inches to 48 inches in height. This range is ideal for watering over tall garden beds, vegetable rows, or shrubs without the stream being blocked by plant canopy. When collapsed, the tripod stores compactly.
What water pressure does this sprinkler need?
The operating pressure range is 10 to 80 PSI. For maximum throw distance, higher pressures in the 40–70 PSI range are ideal. If your supply pressure exceeds 80 PSI, consider adding a pressure regulator to protect the unit and maintain consistent spray patterns.
Can I use this sprinkler for a partial-arc pattern rather than a full circle?
Absolutely. The arc is continuously adjustable from a very narrow partial section all the way to a complete 360° circle, so you can direct coverage exactly where it's needed — great for corners, fence lines, or rectangular garden areas where you don't want to water adjacent hardscapes or structures.
What is the warranty on this product?
Orbit backs the 58308N with a 6-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. For warranty claims or support, contact Orbit customer care or reach out to DripWorks directly.
Is this the right sprinkler for my application, or should I consider a rotor or drip system?
The Orbit Tripod Impact Sprinkler is best suited for large open lawn and garden areas watered via a garden hose. If you're looking for an in-ground permanent system, consider our rotor sprinklers. For vegetable beds, trees, or shrubs where targeted root-zone watering is preferred, explore our drip irrigation systems.
