The I25-06 is a 6” commercial grade rotor from Hunter. We’re going to discuss a few of the features of this rotor. We’ll also change out a nozzle and make some adjustments. I’m your Sprinkler Warehouse Product Specialist, let’s get started.
Feature Of The Hunter I25 Series Rotor
I25-06 is a commercial-grade rotor with a six-inch pop-up height and a one-inch inlet. It has a watering distance of 40 to 71 feet. If you’re used to working with residential rotors you’ll recognize that this is a significant step up from residential watering distances. The distance you get out of the rotor depends on which nozzle you’ve installed and how the adjustment screw is set. This rotor has a flow rate of between three-point eight gallons per minute all the way to thirty-one and a half gallons per minute. Once again that’s a significant step up from standard residential rotors. It has a non-strippable drive, which means a longer-lasting resilient rotor.
Benefits Of Automatic Arc Return For Your Sprinkler System
The I25 also has an Automatic Arc return. If someone cranks the turret out of position it will automatically return to its prior setting. This prevents wasting water and prevents having to reset the pattern. I25s also conveniently have both part and full-circle arcs in one rotor.
That is when you adjust the rotor to turn 360 degrees it goes around in a continuous circle without reversing. The arc is adjustable from 50 to 360 degrees. The I-25 series come with a check valve installed. Check valves to prevent low head drainage. When a zone of your irrigation system has a slope…a check valve will prevent water from draining from your system through the lowest sprinkler head once the zone shuts off. So this helps to prevent water wastage, pooling, and erosion.
The check valve on an I-25 rotor works with up to 10 feet of elevation difference. This rotor comes with this set of nozzles. There are additional nozzle choices for this rotor also available. Let’s talk about adjustments you can make on this rotor. This is where you set your Range Adjustment Screw. This screw also holds the nozzle in place. Use a hunter rotor tool like this one. This is the lifting socket. Use the plastic end of the Hunter Rotor tool for that. This is the arc Adjustment Socket.
Once again use the plastic end of the rotor tool for that. Let’s head outside and make some adjustments. We’ll begin by changing out a nozzle. Insert the plastic end of the rotor tool into the lifting socket. Quarter turn and pull up. We’re using a nozzle insertion collar, which makes this job a lot easier. Using the metal end of the hunter rotor tool, back out the range adjustment screw.
How To Adjust The Arc Of Your Nozzle
Use a pair of needle-nose pliers to pull out the nozzle Insert the new nozzle. Screw back down the range adjustment screw. Now with the water going, Use the range adjustment screw to set your watering distance. You want the spray from this rotor to reach the next rotor over. You can turn the turret back and forth to see how the arc is set.
To make adjustments to the arc insert the tool into the arc adjustment slot. Turn clockwise to increase the arc and counterclockwise to decrease. And that is the I25-06 by Hunter. Order your I25s on Sprinkler Warehouse today. And remember
