Brand: Hunter Industries SKUs: I40-04-SS / I40-04-SS-R
Product Overview
The Hunter I-40-04-SS is a 4-inch pop-up commercial gear-drive rotor with a stainless-steel riser, adjustable 50- to 360-degree arc, standard drain check valve, and 1-inch female NPT inlet. This Big Frog Supply product includes a standard variant, SKU I40-04-SS, and a reclaimed-water identification variant, SKU I40-04-SS-R. Both variants use the adjustable-arc I-40 platform; the reclaimed version adds the factory identification intended for nonpotable irrigation systems.
The I-40 is designed for demanding large-turf applications such as parks, athletic fields, campuses, commercial landscapes, and municipal grounds. Hunter publishes a radius range of approximately 44 to 69 feet and a flow range of 7.6 to 29.5 GPM for the adjustable I-40 model, depending on the installed nozzle and operating pressure. Recommended and operating pressure is 40 to 100 PSI, with a standard 25-degree nozzle trajectory. The current Hunter specification builder identifies six supplied nozzle choices for the 4-inch stainless model.
Automatic arc return helps restore the programmed watering pattern if the turret is forced out of position. The non-strippable drive mechanism helps protect the internal gearing, and the combined part-circle and full-circle design allows one model to cover arcs from 50 degrees through a non-reversing 360-degree pattern. The factory-installed check valve is designed to hold back up to 15 feet of elevation to reduce low-head drainage after the zone shuts off.
