Question
QUESTION: I have one valve that rotates and I need it to stay stationary and I'm not sure how to do it?  Can you help?

ANSWER: Hi Kim

I don't understand your issue so I'll need a little clarification please.  Are you referring to a sprinkler head that rotates, or a part on a valve that rotates?  They are two different items.  If it's a sprinkler head, let me know what type it is - a spray head or a rotor?  Hardie was acquired by Irritrol several years back so maybe have a look at their web site for the product you're inquiring about.  (http://www.irritrol.com)

I'll be happy to help with a bit more information.

Thanks
Tony

QUESTION: Tony-it is a sprinkler head amd it is a rotor XL series.

Answer
Hi Kim

Sorry for the delay in responding.

The XL was not designed to be stationary.  It's a rotor and cannot be made to stop rotating.  You can reduce the distance it rotates with a small flat head screw-driver, but you can't stop it.  

The XL Rotor has a fixed right stop.   This position is indicated by a hash mark on the side of the riser below the nozzle turret.   When the riser is pulled up, rotate the nozzle turret to align the arrow on the top of the rubber cover with the hash mark on the body.  Now even if the riser is down, you can locate the right stop and can line it up with any hardscape features which define the right side of the irrigated arc.

To set the arc, insert the flat blade screwdriver into the hole indicated with the + and - arrows on either side.   Push down to engage the adjustment mode.   While continuing to push down turn the tool in the direction required to increase or decrease the current arc setting to the desired arc.   At the same time, observe the white indicator as it moves below the turret.   You can also reference the numbers on the rubber cover.   When the desired arc is attained, extract the tool and the arc will lock into place.   

Hope this helps.

Tony
