Configurare și instalare
Follow these steps to properly install your Rain Bird U12Q U-Series Sprinkler Nozzle:
- Opriți alimentarea cu apă: Before beginning any installation or maintenance, ensure the water supply to the sprinkler system is completely shut off.
- Scoateți duza veche (dacă este cazul): Gently unscrew and remove the existing nozzle from the sprinkler head. Be careful not to damage the riser stem.
- Inspectați și curățați: Check the sprinkler head's riser stem for any debris. Ensure the fine mesh screen (filter) is clean and properly seated within the new U12Q nozzle.
- Instalați o duză nouă: Screw the Rain Bird U12Q nozzle onto the riser stem of the sprinkler head. Hand-tighten only; do not overtighten.
- Ajustați arcul și raza:
- The U12Q is a quarter-circle nozzle, meaning it sprays a 90-degree arc. The arc is fixed.
- To adjust the spray radius, use a flat-head screwdriver to turn the stainless steel adjustment screw located at the center of the nozzle. Turning clockwise decreases the radius, and counter-clockwise increases it.
- Porniți alimentarea cu apă: Slowly turn the water supply back on and observe the spray pattern. Make fine adjustments as needed.

Operațiunea
The Rain Bird U12Q nozzle is designed for straightforward operation once installed. Its quarter-circle spray pattern is fixed at 90 degrees. The primary operational adjustment is the spray radius.
- Reglarea razei: Use a flat-head screwdriver to turn the central stainless steel screw. Turning the screw clockwise will reduce the spray distance, while turning it counter-clockwise will increase the spray distance. Adjust until the desired coverage is achieved, ensuring water reaches the intended areas without overspray.
- Close-in Watering: The U-Series nozzles feature an additional orifice that provides water coverage immediately around the sprinkler head, preventing dry spots in these critical areas.
