    Description

    You will receive 1 XCAD super heavy duty 1 1/4" 18 degree LOW angle full or part circle brass impact sprinkler. I decided to write this listing as if we were talking in person and you asked me which 1 1/4" brass impact sprinkler I would buy and why. I am positive I have personally rebuilt and tested more 1 1/4" adjustable brass impact sprinklers than anyone over the last 30+ years so here is why the X-85 is my choice even over the Rain Bird 85LA which is an excellent sprinkler.
    1) The heart of any impact sprinkler is the arm it must with stand years of impact action. The X-85 is all brass and has been coined under intense pressure to hold its shape for years.
    2) The X-85 has a replaceable drive spoon that comes standard which means to you if you are running less than perfectly clean (sandy,gritty etc) you can change it in a few years. Any other sprinkler except for the Rain Bird 85EHD  it pretty much means the whole sprinkler is trash or you will need a very expensive complete arm.
    3) The XCAD 85 will run on a wide array of nozzle sizes and if you need to replace it or the internal stream straightner we have all sizes in stock.
    4) The X-85 features all brass heavy duty easy to adjust friction collars.
    5) Try going to your hardware store, farm supply or irrigation house to get replacement parts such as washers for any brand of brass impacts. Here is what is going to happen, you will find that they are not going to know what to order or the parts are not available individually or at all! The X-85 is the most rebuildable 11/4" sprinkler on the market today.
    6) The bearings of this XCAD sprinkler are now being treated with X-33 sealant (I have not updated my photos yet) The sealant eliminates your need for teflon tape and will make removal and installation easier.
    7)Price and quality: I believe that quality always cost less in the long run and this is especially true with sprinklers for so many reasons, with the X-85 you get the best of both worlds great quality at a great price.
    8) Sprinkler Innovations will be here to help you keep your XCAD products running for years!
    * Great PIVOTS, dust control, turf, waste water and more!
    Please bid with confidence. Since 1985, I have rebuilt and tested more brass impact sprinklers than anyone. Our customers have included many of the most prestigious golf courses, college and pro sports stadiums, farms, and ranches in the USA.  Now because of the internet our new and rebuilt sprinklers, as well as repair parts and rebuilding services, are available to everyone. Recently a couple of sellers have popped up on ebay offering rebuilt sprinklers. Please don't assume that all rebuilt sprinklers are rebuilt the same way and are of the same quality.  These other
    reconditioners
    are using high impact glass bead to clean the brass (like sand blasting); I can tell because back in the 80's I did the same thing( I don't care what they say yellow sprinklers = impact blasting). You end up with a nice looking, shiny brass sprinkler; however, I found that the glass bead removed small amounts of the brass which pitted the nipple and bearing. These pits held dirt, debris, and water deposits which did not allow the sprinkler to self flush, as it was designed to do.  The sprinkler ends up freezing up or grinding down the washers and the bearing. Glass beading not only does not clean the most important part of the sprinkler, the inside, it makes the sprinkler bearing less rebuildable the next time due to the damage.  I included a picture of brass nipples cleaned using my unique cleaning process that took years to perfect - glass smooth with no brass missing! If you buy a so-called "rebuilt" sprinkler from someone else and this spring you turn it on and, for whatever reason, it doesn't work, will they be there to help you? Do they have the inventory to replace it?
    I will. I do. Thanks, Frank
