What YM8108 Is
YM8108 is a sprinkler. The head carries 5 spray settings on a rotating dial. It ships on tie on card, 48 pieces per carton at 0.052 CBM. It is designed to run from a standard garden hose and pairs with the two hour mechanical timers in this catalogue for unattended watering.
Key Benefits
- 5 spray settings cover jet, shower, mist and flat in one tool
- Published carton data, 48 pieces at 0.052 CBM, so landed cost can be calculated before you order
- Impulse heads offered in plastic and metal on four different bases
- Wing spike models can be stepped into the ground by foot
What Goes Wrong Without It
- Needing several tools to rinse a path, water a border and mist a basket
- Spike sprinklers that will not push into dry or stony ground
- Plastic impulse heads that will not stay aimed once the pressure rises
- Lawns that are rectangular but only get round coverage
What Is Actually In the Box
- Rotating head with 5 spray patterns
- Retail pack tie on card

How to Get the Best Out of YM8108
The four points end customers most often get wrong. Worth putting on the pack or in the listing copy.
Step 1
Set the sprinkler before turning the water on, not after
Step 2
Wet the ground lightly before pushing a spike base into dry soil
Step 3
Start at low pressure and open the tap gradually to set the throw
Step 4
Rinse the head at the end of the season to clear grit from the jets
How YM8108 Differs From Its Siblings
These models share a body family. The difference is finish, size or feature, not fit, which is what lets them sit on the same wall at different price points.
8-Pattern Flower Base Sprinkler YM8111
YM8111 carries 8 patterns against 5 on YM8108. The mechanism is the same, so the two sit at different price points on the same wall.
Oscillating Sprinkler with 15 Holes YM301
YM301 is a oscillating sprinkler. YM8108 is a sprinkler, and the two are usually sold alongside each other rather than instead of each other.
