The sprinkler shall be developed and manufactured by an ISO 9001-certified facility. The sprinkler shall be model number ______and shall be manufactured by The Toro Company, Irrigation Division.
Recommended Installation Procedures The FLX35 sprinkler is designed specifically for turf areas requiring _____ coverage. These products offer the most economical method of irrigation where flows and system pressures are available to support a greater radius.
The FLX35 sprinkler should be specified for installation on a Toro swing joint. The swing joint should be specified as a triple- swing type, allowing movement up, down, laterally and at an angle-to-grade. The sprinkler should be installed with the body cover at grade.
Individual sprinkler head control is accomplished using a single FLX35 valve- in-head sprinkler per controller station. Use of the valve-in-head model will allow individual station control, and is particularly useful for irrigating distinct turf regions at unique application rates.
