Flawless, Pressure-Compensating Coverage for Large Landscapes

Ensure every plant receives the exact same amount of water, regardless of its location in your garden. The Orbita PC Micro Sprinkler is a professional-grade, pressure-compensating (PC) emitter engineered for superior water distribution uniformity. Whether you are dealing with elevation changes, sloped terrain, or exceptionally long irrigation lines, the internal PC diaphragm regulates flow to maintain a constant output and throw diameter. Featuring a robust C-frame design and dual bearings that support the spinner during rotation, this micro-sprinkler is built for reliable, long-term performance. Secure them above your plants using rigid risers or 1/4" micro tubing to create a highly efficient, zero-waste watering system for your vegetable gardens, flower beds, and large landscaped areas.

Why Choose the Orbita PC Micro Sprinkler?
  • Guaranteed Uniform Watering: The built-in pressure-compensating diaphragm ensures a consistent flow rate across a wide 20-45 PSI pressure range, solving the most common cause of uneven plant growth on slopes.
  • Advanced Dual-Bearing Design: Two precision bearings fully support the spinner during operation, reducing friction and ensuring a perfectly even, long-lasting 360° spray pattern.
  • Strong C-Frame Construction: The heavy-duty acetal frame provides excellent structural rigidity, ensuring the sprinkler head maintains its shape and performance even when exposed to harsh summer sun.
  • Color-Coded Pre-Defined Flows: Available in easily identifiable color-coded bases so you always know exactly how much water is being applied to different zones of your landscape.

How to Install the Orbita PC Micro Sprinkler

Set up your precision watering system quickly and easily depending on your base style.

Step 1: Puncture the Mainline
Using a DripWorks key punch or pocket punch tool, create a clean hole directly in your 1/2-inch mainline poly tubing near the location you want to water.

Step 2: Insert the Support Stake and Tubing
If using the Threaded base: Twist the threads into the top of a rigid riser or compatible stake assembly (such as the Ultra Stake or EZ Stake Assembly), then connect that assembly to your mainline using the transfer barb.

Step 3: Secure Upright
For optimal performance and to achieve the full 360-degree spray radius, ensure the C-frame is standing perfectly upright. If mounted on flexible tubing, use a wire hold-down to stabilize it.

Step 4: Regulate Pressure
Ensure your head assembly has a pressure regulator installed that keeps the system within the 20 to 45 PSI operational window so the PC diaphragm can do its job.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Orbita PC Micro Sprinkler work evenly on my sloped garden beds?
Yes, this pressure-compensating emitter guarantees uniform watering on uneven terrain. The internal PC diaphragm regulates flow between 20 and 45 PSI, ensuring plants at the bottom of the slope receive the same amount of water as those at the top.

What is the benefit of the C-Frame design on the Orbita PC Micro Sprinkler?
The heavy-duty C-frame provides rigid structural support. This allows the sprinkler to feature dual bearings that hold the spinner perfectly balanced during rotation, creating an incredibly even, zero-wobble spray pattern.

Do I need to filter the water for the Orbita PC Micro Sprinkler?
Yes, filtration is required to protect the internal PC diaphragm. The lower flow model (Blue) requires a 120-mesh filter, while the higher flow models (Green, Red) require an 80-mesh filter.

Can I run the Orbita PC Micro Sprinkler off a low-pressure rain barrel?
No, pressure-compensating emitters require higher pressure to open the internal diaphragm. Your system must provide a minimum of 20 PSI for this sprinkler to operate properly.

✔ Compatibility Check

Please note the operational requirements for this unit:

  • Pressure Requirements: System pressure must be regulated between 20 and 45 PSI. At lower pressures, the emitter will not emit water, and at higher pressures, you risk blowing out the connections.
  • Base Type Selection: Choose the Barbed model to plug directly into poly tubing, or the Threaded model to twist into rigid PVC risers or pre-tapped 10-32 stakes.

Complete Your System

Ensure your shrub and vegetable irrigation system is fully equipped with these recommended products:

  • 1/2" Mainline Tubing: The reliable foundation for routing water across your garden beds and large landscaped areas.
  • Miracle Punch: A highly leveraged, easy-to-use tool for quickly creating clean insertion holes in your poly tubing.
  • Pocket Punch Tool: A convenient, economical option for punching holes and inserting 1/4" fittings.
  • Pressure Regulator: Absolutely crucial for dropping your home water pressure down to the safe 20-45 PSI operating zone required for PC emitters.
  • Home Garden Filter: Prevent fine debris from clogging the internal pressure-compensating diaphragm.
  • Ultra Stake Assembly: The ideal pre-assembled stake to securely elevate the threaded Orbita model above dense vegetation.
