How it operates

Water flows from the main supply line to the system under high pressure. Inside the rain gun, there are gears and a gearbox that controls the movement of the sprinkler head.

When water flows through the rain gun, it drives these gears and in-turn these gears lead to the rotation of the system’s head, this allows the rain gun to spin in a circular pattern, rotating at an angle of 360 degree (this can be adjusted).

Water flows out of the system through a nozzle that breaks water into droplets. The rotation driven by the gears ensures that water is distributed evenly across the desired area.

It can be integrated with other irrigation systems like:

1. Pop up sprinkler
2. Drip irrigation system

Flange vs threaded rain gun sprinklers

Not sure whether to choose flange or threaded types? Here’s a simple breakdown:

• Flange rain guns: Offer stronger mounting, less leakage, and are ideal for permanent setups.
• Threaded rain guns: Easier to install and move, great for smaller or temporary irrigation setups.

If you’re irrigating a large farm and want a reliable, long-term option, go for the flange type.
