About the Toro 179-2490 (9-6807) Shrub Spray Sprinkler
The Toro's 179-2490 (9-6807) is a 570 nozzle body specifically for Toro's 570Z series pop-up sprinklers. It accepts 570 nozzles that feature a matched precipitation rate (MPR), which ensures all similar nozzles in the sprinkler system apply water at approximately the same rate. The 570 nozzles are pre-installed with Pressure Compensation Discs that conserve the water but virtually eliminate excess misting, preventing evaporation and dry spots.
This shrub body has only a 1/2" female thread on the bottom and on the top, which is compatible with any 570 series nozzle. An impressive 2-year warranty on the purchase is against manufacturer defects and malfunctions.
Toro has been helping its customers take care of golf courses, sports fields, residential yards, and agricultural fields since 1914. Toro thrives on innovation and has remained viable over the last 100 years due to its focus on adopting new technologies into its products.
