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

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 on page 20 to obtain spray
distance.
