Rain Bird 25PJDAC Brass Impact Sprinkler, Adjustable 20° - 360° Pattern, 20' - 41' Spray Distance

This is very, very nice! Beautifully sprinkles evenly even with our little test spray! It was easily put on my old sturdy base and though it was stiff before I hooked it up and turned it on, it was perfect once the water was turned on! The brass is very good quality and will last us many years! No plastic at all!!! Not one tiny piece! I would highly recommend this product.

Basic brass impact sprinkler

UPDATE JUNE 2019 - I've had two of these sprinkler head for over three years and they are still going strong. That is at least three times longer than any other brand sprinkler I have tried. For folks with low water pressure, or using surface water irrigation pumps, these are the only choice. Of course, they work great for everyday residential applications with city water, too. ORIGINAL REVIEW - JULY 2016 I irrigate my lawn using surface water pumped out of a shallow lake behind my home. The additional solids present (i.e. algae, sand, debris, grit), as well as the inconsistent pressures seem to play havoc with most of the impact sprinklers I have tried. The big box store brand sprinklers I tried wouldn't oscillate right out of the box, as they often hit the first stop and stopped, literally. I finally found the Orbit 56667N Tripod Base Impact Sprinkler on Amazon, which worked at the required pressures; but then it stopped oscillating after the first season. I ordered this Rainbird (with ½ inch male fitting) to replace the Orbit head on the tripod, and the difference is staggering. The Rainbird is by far the highest quality sprinkler head I have tried yet. I have used specialty Rainbird heads in industrial applications, so I knew they were a well-made product. Rainbird doesn’t make many sprinklers that aren’t for use in irrigation systems, which is why I didn’t go with Rainbird from the beginning. I am glad I found this replacement head, and I will be making another base connection, so that I can order an additional Rainbird head for use at my second spigot feed. See below for additional details of the Rainbird 25PJDAC. MATERIAL QUALITY – 5 STARS The difference between the brass Rainbird and the Zinc Orbit was staggering. The Orbit brand sprinkler was made of junk Chinese potmetal, whereas, the Rainbird had high quality brass fittings with bronze and stainless steel. The Orbit model was based on a similar design, but taking the two apart revealed that the materials were not even close. Even the washers on the male fitting were far superior on the Rainbird model. COVERAGE AREA, SPRAY PATTERN, & OPERATING EFFICIENCY – 5 STARS These will cover a large area. Best coverage are of any sprinkler head yet, which cuts down on time spent moving sprinklers around. This model sprays at least 10 feet further than the previously mentioned Orbit sprinkler. The stops also stay put better, but yet somehow are easier to adjust with a single hand, compared to the Orbit. Rainbird is also capable of true 360 degree operation, whereas, the Orbit model is not. Compared to other sprinkler styles, impact sprinklers have a much more efficient spray type, and their adjustability makes keeping the water where you want it much easier. NONPOTABLE WATER CAPABILITY – 5 STARS As previously mentioned, this sprinkler head handles surface source water better than any model I found. If you irrigate from a pond, creek, lake, or other surface impoundment, then this is the sprinkler head you are looking for. It also handles low water pressure very well, so it would also be a good choice for those drawing source water from wells. VALUE – 5 STARS Fantastic price for such a high quality sprinkler. I haven’t seen high quality materials like this one has in residential grade sprinklers in years, yet the price is cheaper than most plastic impact sprinklers you could find at your local lawn & garden or big box chain stores. You will need to purchase a base for the head, but even still, at this price you can’t go wrong. THANKS Thanks for reading my review. I hope it was helpful.

Great Sprinkler Head! - But the over-spray out the sides and wherever would rot my wood House-Siding or wherever I put the lil Devil! - Perhaps it was just the unit I received but the sparay nozzle that screws into the center body was loose. So I turned it all the way into the threads and it was not working like it should and only sprayed a few feet out wards, etc. So I experimented a bit and found the spray nozzle head worked best if only turned in a few turns on the ole thread! - I immediately grabbed my thread sealing tape and thank God I had some and turned the head nozzle in a few twist and was more than tight than, and than the real event began! Hehe This lil dickens sprayed a stream at least about 40 feet or more! - Out of all the sprinkler heads I have in the 1/2" size, The ole Rain-Bird wins the overall distance! However, the over-spray out the sides with this Sprinkler-Head I could not find a resolve in why, and its particular design as to why it performs the way it does regarding the side over-spray. - With that said, I will use this head to cover very large areas, but yet stay away from employing it in say a Quarter section of the lawn area due to its nature, in which is a negative for this model by Rain Bird unfortunately. Overall due to the distance this model can achieve and beat em all and also adjusted per the stream, I have to knock off a star or two due to: I do not believe that the head nozzle threads are matched to the body, thus taking out the guess work like in my particular case. Perhaps it is just the model I received, but, one is at guess as to how far we thread in the head nozzle for the best mathematically performance, especially when it arrived with a loose threaded nozzle head. Overall, I am impressed with this model by Rain Bird Mfg., but at the same time, I think they can improve it by putting on a head nozzle per thread length actually needed to seat that part properly. Again, perhaps it is just the model I received. That issue along with side over-spray knocks a star or two off my review, BUT, Please Don't let that stop you if you are looking for a 1/2" nozzle head to cover a very large area, like we have, Because, this model wins Distance by far, Hands Down compared to all the 1/2" Sprinkler Heads we have!!

I purchased a total of 21 Rain Bird 25PJDA-C brass impact sprinklers from this store for my 3 acre property and I could not be happier! Not only does this Amazon store have the LOWEST prices for this particular top-end model from Rain Bird anywhere on the internet or in stores by far, but each time I ordered they arrived quickly, packaged well with each sprinkler being individually bubble wrapped, and always absolutely brand new and sealed in the original manufacturer’s packaging. These impact’s installed easily and with no issues and throw the water farther than anything else I’ve seen or tried on the market. I HIGHLY recommend these if you have a large space to cover (especially in windy areas) as they do not waste water by misting it into the air, are adjustable by pitch, degree of coverage (0-360 degrees), and distance - and not to mention they just look BEAUTIFUL! You can tell how high quality they are just by holding one. Heavy, well-designed, and as a bonus they just sound GREAT! I love waking up at 6:00 AM to watch them run and listen to the impact’s ticking back and forth. Overall 20/10 product and 30/10 customer service and Amazon store. 100/10 recommend!!!

Works extreamly well. Need the point to screw this item in.

Funciona muy bien. Espero que tenga buena durabilidad.

Estoy muy decepcionado de que uno de los Rainbirds haya dejado de girar correctamente después de menos de un mes de uso una vez al día.

Really excellent garden sprinkler, I have quite a large lawn with my old sprinkler I had to move it 4 times to get coverage of all the Lawn now with the new on it’s only twice, it’s absolutely quality made from Brass will last my life time. This sprinkler is very easy to setup to do what ever spray pattern you like in a nutshell Impressive, and also it’s the cheapest anywhere and well worth the delivery wait, would recommend it to anybody who is a keen to keep there Lawns looking good.

Qualità veramente alta, funziona benissimo ed è regolabile in modo fine. Da vedere sulla durata, se ci saranno problemi tornerò ad aggiornare la recensione.
