The Toro FLEX800™ Series Sprinklers, specifically the FLX55-6 – 24-Position TruJectory™ model, are designed for turf irrigation, offering an economical method for watering large areas where sufficient flows and system pressures are available. These sprinklers are engineered to provide a smooth, consistent curtain of water across the arc, ensuring head-to-head coverage.
The FLEX800™ series sprinklers are gear-driven rotary type devices capable of both full- and part-circle operation. They utilize three inline nozzles mounted in a 2½"-diameter (57mm) plastic nozzle turret, which elevate 3¼" (83mm) above the body during operation. These nozzles are oriented in the same direction and are designed to allow any particle capable of passing through the riser screen to pass through the nozzle, minimizing clogging. The sprinkler can also accept a fourth nozzle, installable 180° from the main nozzle, to provide coverage behind the sprinkler. This back nozzle position comes with a factory-installed plug that can be removed to accommodate over 50 different inner and intermediate nozzle combinations. The sprinkler is capable of accepting nine different color-coded main nozzles and a main nozzle adapter, along with 10 different color-coded inner/intermediate nozzles.
The main nozzle incorporates a trajectory adjustment feature, allowing the discharge angle to be set from 7° to 30° in 1° increments (24 positions). This adjustment can be made while the sprinkler is in operation. The sprinkler also features a pilot valve assembly that controls its ON-OFF operation and offers four pressure-point selections (50, 65, 80, and 100 psi; 3.5, 4.5, 5.5, and 6.9 Bar). This assembly includes a pressure-regulation feature that continuously monitors and adjusts the operating pressure inside the sprinkler body to maintain the desired setting. The internal valve assembly is a piston-type that vents to the atmosphere, designed for smooth valve closure in excess of two seconds to minimize damage from surges and water hammer.
The sprinkler's arc is adjustable via an adjustment band located between the nozzle base and riser. The left terminus of the arc is fixed, while the right position can be adjusted from a minimum of 40° up to a 360° arc maximum. When the 360° arc adjustment is reached, the sprinkler rotates uni-directionally in a clockwise direction. The arc adjustment band identifies 90°, 180°, 270°, and 360° arc positions. The end-of-arc dwell time is typically less than 1 second. Rotation is achieved by a water-lubricated compound cluster gear drive with a balanced reversing gear plate, driven by a spring-loaded, poppet-type, variable stator, which provides 3-minute, full-circle rotation speeds across the pressure range.
The FLEX55-6 sprinklers are designed for individual sprinkler head control, typically using a single valve-in-head sprinkler per controller station. This allows for distinct turf regions to be irrigated at unique application rates. The sprinkler can be adjusted wet or dry, by hand, without tools. The ratcheting riser feature allows users to adjust the riser's position in the body without disassembly. The nozzle base clutching feature enables users to rotate the nozzle base in either direction (wet or dry) and hold it in one position during operation for spot watering.
The pilot valve assembly includes a manual control feature accessible from the top, allowing the sprinkler to be manually selected "ON," "OFF," or placed in "AUTO" mode, awaiting commands from the control device. The manual selector is red for enhanced visibility. The sprinkler is capable of identifying the use of effluent water via a lavender-colored marking.
The sprinkler offers five electrical activation types:
All nozzles are of a thread-in type, accessible from the front without further disassembly. They are color-coded for easy identification of radius and gallonage performance capabilities. The sprinkler body and cap are injection-molded from ABS, providing a corrosion-proof, impact-resistant, UV-resistant, heavy-duty, engineering-grade plastic material. The cap and nozzle base incorporate a pull-up feature that improves the serviceability of nozzles and riser.
The sprinkler includes two plastic filter screens: a top-serviceable coarse rock screen in the body inlet to prevent larger foreign material, and a finer screen threaded into the riser to prevent material from clogging the nozzle. The riser/body seal assembly regulates flushing during pop-up and retraction to clear debris from around the riser. A heavy-duty, stainless-steel spring ensures positive retraction. The riser is sealed by a durable, over-molded urethane ring on the seal retainer. The electric valve assembly incorporates a 100-mesh stainless-steel screen for control water, preventing foreign materials from entering the pilot valve assembly.
The sprinkler cap identifies the installed main nozzle and the date of manufacture, while the pilot valve assembly is stamped with the manufactured date. The cap also identifies the trajectory adjustment setting from the top of the sprinkler.
