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.
Review the exact performance metrics to choose the right Orbita PC configuration for your layout.
| Base Color | Flow Rate (GPH) | Approx. Flow (LPH) |
|---|---|---|
| Blue | 10.5 GPH | 40 LPH |
| Green | 14.5 GPH | 55 LPH |
| Red | 21.0 GPH | 80 LPH |
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.
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.
