Description
Set the sweep for your lawn
An oscillating bar sprinkler sends a fan of water across the garden as the bar moves back and forth. Adjusting its sweep helps keep water on the area you want to reach.
Choose a model to suit the controls and construction you prefer. The options differ: a basic range adjustment is not the same as variable width or separate flow control.
One sprinkler in your selected model supplied. Hose and female hose-end connector are separate.
Which sprinkler model should I choose?
Use these differences alongside the Sprinkler Type selector and photographs above.
| Standard Black / Standard Green | Plastic body and straight spray bar, adjustable sweep range and cleaning needle. Same basic control style in two colour choices. |
|---|---|
| Classic | Black plastic-bodied design with a straight spray bar, range adjustment and an end-stored nozzle-cleaning tool. |
| Metal | WL-Z22 model: 18 rubber nozzles, variable width and range adjustment, plus separate flow control. Stated maximum coverage up to 375m². |
| Metal Turbo | 20 nozzles, including six that can be switched on or off, with range adjustment, flow control and cleaning pin. Stated maximum coverage up to 385m². |
| Compact Grey | WL-Z23 plastic-bodied straight-bar design, adjustable sweep range and cleaning needle. |
| Premium Grey | WL-Z24 grey plastic body with a curved metal spray bar, range adjustment and cleaning needle. |
| Black Eco | ECO-2813 black plastic-bodied straight-bar model with range adjustment and a cleaning tool. |
| Black Eco+ | ECO-2814 black body with a curved metal spray bar, range adjustment and a cleaning tool. |
| Limeline | Grey and lime straight-bar model with 16 nozzles and adjustable range. Stated coverage up to 336m² at 3 bar, with a stated flow of 18.5 litres/minute at that pressure. |
| Limeline Eco | Grey and lime model with a curved metal spray bar, adjustable range and cleaning tool. A different construction from the straight-bar Limeline. |
Coverage figures are maxima for the named models. The area reached in your garden depends on available pressure and flow at the sprinkler, hose length and bore, settings and wind. The Limeline figures above are stated at 3 bar; do not apply them to another model.
Range, width and flow do different jobs
Range adjustment changes where the bar reverses direction. A shorter sweep can help you water one side of the sprinkler or keep the fan away from a path.
Width adjustment changes the breadth of the fan where the model provides that control. Flow control changes the water admitted through a separate dial where fitted.
The Metal WL-Z22 model pictured has additional width and flow adjustment. Metal Turbo uses switchable nozzles as part of its control system. These features should not be assumed for every Standard, Classic, Eco or Limeline option.
Place the base on level ground, keep the bar clear of plants and set the spray with the water running gently. Observe where it lands before leaving it to water.
A small cleaning tool for blocked nozzles
The cleaning tool stores at the end of the sprinkler. Its shape and colour vary by model; Standard Black is shown here.
Turn the tap off and release the pressure before removing the plug. Use the fine needle gently to clear a blocked opening, without enlarging it, then refit the plug securely.
If the fan is uneven, check for a kinked hose or restricted water supply as well as dirty nozzles. On Metal Turbo, also check whether individual switchable nozzles have been turned off.
Drain the sprinkler after use and before freezing conditions. Avoid pulling it into position by the hose or forcing the spray bar by hand.
Connect, position and check the spray
Start with the sprinkler stable and the hose free from sharp bends.
Match the hose connector
The male inlet needs a compatible female garden hose-end connector. Select that connector for your hose bore. The optional grey connector in Frequently bought together is for ½-inch hose and is sold separately.
Set the watering area
Position the sprinkler on level ground and open the tap gradually. Adjust the sweep using the stops, then use any extra controls available on your chosen model. Check that water reaches the soil rather than paths or walls.
Watch the result
Check the area while watering, moving the sprinkler if needed. Stop if water runs off or pools. There is no single watering duration that suits every soil, lawn, bed or weather condition.
Questions about the sprinkler range
Do all the models have width and flow controls?
No. All the listed models offer sweep-range adjustment, but their other controls differ. Metal WL-Z22 adds variable width and flow controls. Metal Turbo includes six switchable nozzles and flow control. Use the model comparison and its photographs before choosing.
How much of my garden will it water?
It depends on the model and the water available at the sprinkler. Metal is stated up to 375m² and Metal Turbo up to 385m². Limeline is stated up to 336m² at 3 bar, with 18.5 litres/minute at that pressure. Actual coverage can be smaller with a long or narrow hose, restricted supply, different settings or wind. These figures do not describe every option.
Is the hose or female hose connector included?
No. This listing supplies one sprinkler in the selected model. Connect a hose using a compatible female hose-end connector sized for that hose. The optional grey connector in Frequently bought together is for ½-inch hose; it is a separate item.
What should I check if the spray is uneven?
Turn the supply off before cleaning or disconnecting. Check the hose for kinks, confirm the supply is adequate and gently clear blocked nozzle openings with the stored cleaning tool. Refit the cleaning plug before use. For Metal Turbo, check the switchable-nozzle settings too.
