The Adjustable Sprayer That Grows With Your Plants
Meet one of our absolute best-sellers for establishing new spring landscapes. The DripWorks Spectrum™ Sprayer delivers an adaptable, full-circle umbrella pattern that can be perfectly tailored to your garden’s changing needs. When planting young saplings or large perennials, simply turn the wetting area down to concentrate water at the fragile root ball. As your plants mature over the seasons, twist the cap to enlarge the spray pattern up to an impressive 11-foot diameter. Easily integrated into your system using 1/4″ micro tubing, this versatile emitter eliminates the need to constantly swap out hardware as your garden grows.
- Grows With Your Garden: Fully adjustable output. Keep the radius small for new spring plantings, and expand it up to a 5.5-foot radius (at 20 PSI) as root zones widen over time.
- Full-Circle Umbrella Pattern: Emits a gentle, 360-degree cascade of water that thoroughly and evenly hydrates the soil without causing erosion or splashing dirt onto foliage.
- Zero Moving Parts: Engineered for extreme durability. The lack of complex moving parts means there is nothing to break, wear out, or jam during operation.
- Effortless Cleaning: If sediment from spring runoff enters your lines, simply remove the top cap to quickly flush the emitter and restore perfect flow.
- Integrated Transfer Barb: For ultimate convenience, the staked version of the Spectrum™ includes a built-in break-off transfer barb. Snap it off the stake to instantly connect your micro tubing to your mainline!

Follow these simple steps to install the popular staked version of the Spectrum™ Sprayer.
Step 1: Prep the Mainline
Using a DripWorks punch tool, create a clean hole in your 1/2-inch or 3/4-inch poly mainline tubing near the plant you want to water.
Step 2: Snap Off the Barb
Locate the small 1/4-inch transfer barb physically molded onto the side of the Spectrum’s stake. Snap it off to use as your mainline connector.
Step 3: Connect Micro Tubing
Push the transfer barb into the punched hole on your mainline. Attach one end of a piece of 1/4-inch micro tubing to that barb, and attach the other end to the inlet barb on the Spectrum stake.
Step 4: Stake and Adjust
Push the stake securely into the soil. Turn on your irrigation system, and twist the sprayer’s cap counter-clockwise to widen the umbrella pattern or clockwise to tighten the flow to the plant’s base.
