Hunter Pro-Spray Series Pop-up Sprinkler

Generally, no. A 12-inch pop-up is specifically designed for tall turf, ground cover, or shrub beds where a standard 4-inch sprinkler would be obstructed by foliage. For a typical residential lawn, a shorter pop-up height is usually sufficient.

No, the Hunter Pro-Spray 12-inch body is sold as a standalone unit. This allows you to select the specific female-threaded nozzle—such as an MP Rotator or a standard spray nozzle—that best fits your irrigation zone's coverage needs.

If your water system has high or fluctuating pressure, a regulator ensures the sprinkler operates at a consistent 30 or 40 PSI. This prevents misting and water waste, ensuring your nozzles perform exactly as the manufacturer intended.

The wiper seal is a critical component that prevents water from leaking around the riser when the sprinkler is active. It also acts as a barrier to keep dirt and debris out of the body, which helps prevent the riser from sticking over time.

Yes, but you should strongly consider adding the optional check valve. On sloped terrain, water can drain out of the lowest sprinkler head after the cycle ends; the check valve prevents this low-head drainage, saving water and preventing erosion.

The retracted height of the unit is 16-1/8 inches. You will need to dig a hole deep enough to accommodate this height plus the necessary fittings to ensure the cap sits flush with the soil surface.
