Notes:

• Nozzle Range: Nozzles 31–34 (for FLX34 models) and 51–55 (for FLX54/55 models), with radii from 52 to 85 feet.
• Color Coding: Red (lowest flow, nozzles 31–32), Black (medium flow, nozzles 33–34, 51–52), Beige (high flow, nozzles 53–55).
• Trajectory: Dual trajectory nozzles (25° standard or 15° low angle for windy conditions).
• Precipitation Rates: Calculated for square and triangular spacing, assuming optimal distribution.

Understanding PSI and GPM in Irrigation

Before jumping into the chart, let’s break down two key terms:

• PSI (Pounds per Square Inch): Measures water pressure entering the nozzle.
• GPM (Gallons per Minute): Measures the amount of water flowing through the nozzle.

For optimal performance, you must match the PSI and GPM requirements of your sprinkler zone with the specifications in the nozzle chart.

Nozzle Color Coding Explained

Toro uses a color-coded system to help users quickly identify nozzle types and their flow rates. For instance:

• Red = Lowest flow
• Black = Medium flow
• Beige = High flow

Choosing the Right Nozzle for Your Turf

When selecting a nozzle, consider:

• Turf size: Larger areas benefit from higher GPM and longer radius.
• Water pressure: Match PSI to your existing system.
• Slope & terrain: Use lower trajectory nozzles (15°) for windy or sloped areas.
• Overlap: Ensure 100% head-to-head coverage

FAQs

How do you adjust Toro sprinkler nozzles?

To adjust a Toro sprinkler nozzle, follow these steps:

1. Pop up the sprinkler by turning on the water or pulling it up manually.
2. Use a flathead screwdriver or Toro’s adjustment tool.
3. To adjust the spray distance:
   • Turn the radius reduction screw clockwise to decrease the distance.
   • Turn it counterclockwise to increase it.
4. To adjust the spray pattern or arc:
   • Insert the tool into the arc adjustment slot.
   • Turn clockwise to increase the arc (up to 360°).
   • Turn counterclockwise to decrease the arc (down to 40°).

Tip: Always make adjustments while the system is running so you can immediately see the changes.

What is the color code for Toro sprinkler nozzles?

Toro sprinkler nozzles use a color-coded system to indicate their flow rate (GPM) and model type. Here’s a basic color guide:

Color	Typical Flow Range (GPM)	Application
Red	6.8	Low flow
Blue	7.9	Low-medium flow
Green	9.2	Medium flow
Brown	10.5	Medium-high
Gray	11.8	High flow
Black	13.1	Higher flow
Beige	14.4	Maximum flow

Note: Color coding may differ between product lines, so always consult the Toro nozzle chart specific to your series.

How do you adjust Toro Super 800 sprinkler heads?

To adjust a Toro Super 800 sprinkler head, do the following:

1. Adjust Arc (Spray Angle):
   • Use the Toro adjustment key or screwdriver.
   • Insert it into the arc adjustment slot on top.
   • Turn clockwise to increase arc, counterclockwise to decrease.
2. Adjust Radius (Spray Distance):
   • Use the radius screw near the nozzle.
   • Turn clockwise to shorten spray.
   • Turn counterclockwise to lengthen spray.
3. Change Nozzles (if needed):
   • Pull the riser stem up and hold it.
   • Unscrew the current nozzle and replace it with a new one from the Toro nozzle kit.
4. Ensure Proper Alignment:
   • Turn the head manually to align the spray with the target area.

How to read sprinkler nozzles?

To read a sprinkler nozzle, look at the following markings:

• Nozzle number (e.g., 30, 45, 60): Indicates flow rate range.
• Manufacturer code: Usually stamped or molded onto the nozzle.
• Color: Corresponds to the flow category.
• Spray pattern (e.g., 90°, 180°, 360°): For fixed spray heads.

For Toro nozzles, the number and color together help you determine:

• GPM (gallons per minute)
• Spray distance (radius)
• Pressure requirements (PSI)

How do you read a nozzle chart?

A nozzle chart shows specifications like:

Nozzle #	PSI	GPM	Radius (Feet)	Trajectory (°)
30	65	6.8	36	25

Here’s how to read it:

• Nozzle #: Identifier (usually matches the number on the nozzle).
• PSI: The pressure required for optimal performance.
• GPM: Flow rate — important for water budgeting.
• Radius: Distance the water sprays from the sprinkler.
• Trajectory: Angle of spray — affects how the water lands (useful in windy areas).

What are the specifications of a nozzle?

Sprinkler nozzle specifications typically include:

• Flow rate (GPM): How much water the nozzle delivers per minute.
• Operating pressure (PSI): Ideal water pressure range.
• Spray radius (feet): Distance water is distributed.
• Spray angle or arc (°): Coverage area (e.g., 90°, 180°, 360°).
• Trajectory angle (°): Height and direction of water arc.
• Material: Usually plastic or brass.
• Thread type: Determines compatibility with sprinkler bodies.
• Color code: Indicates flow rate category.

These specs help you design a balanced, efficient irrigation system.
