Spray heads are pop-up sprinklers for small or oddly shaped areas, throwing a fixed fan typically 4 to 15 ft. The head is a pop-up body; a separate nozzle sets the pattern and radius. Pop-up heights of 4, 6, and 12 in. clear low turf, taller grass, and groundcover.
Choose a pressure-regulated (PRS) body where inlet pressure runs high to stop misting and save water. Keep spray heads and rotors in separate zones, since they apply water at very different rates.
Match the new head to the old one: same brand body, same pop-up height, and same inlet size (usually 1/2 in). Unscrew the old head from the riser counterclockwise and thread the new one on, then set the nozzle and arc and flush the line before the final adjustment. Staying with the same model (Hunter Pro-Spray, Rain Bird 1800, Toro 570) keeps spacing and precipitation even across the zone.
Three main types. Fixed spray heads (this page) cover small or odd-shaped areas. Rotors throw a rotating stream across large open turf. Rotary nozzles apply a slower rotating spray. Keep different types on separate zones so each waters evenly.
Yes. Swap the nozzle for a solid retrofit cap, like the Rain Bird Xeri-Cap, to shut off a single head without re-piping. Use it where a head is no longer needed or where you are converting a spray zone to drip.
