Tool type
The sprinkler
A head that spreads water from a hose or, for the Hunter rotor head, from an installed irrigation system. The listings describe how it moves: oscillating, rotating, impact or gear-drive.
Why it hangs on this wear point
Nozzles and filters are where the water leaves, and they are named by as many sprinkler listings here as the drive is. This site files the sprinkler under the nozzle and filter and prints both counts.
What drives it
Driven by the water supply. Two sprinkler listings print the word motor, and none of them states a battery, a voltage or a cord.

What published documents cover
Of the eight sprinkler listings, three print a coverage area in square feet and one prints a range in feet. None prints a water pressure. The Orbit tripod listing prints the word pressure inside a nozzle description, with no figure.
EPA WaterSense notes that pressure above what a spray nozzle is designed for can cause excessive flow, misting and uneven coverage, and its specification for spray sprinkler bodies covers bodies with built-in pressure regulation. ISO 15886-3 sets test methods for sprinkler water distribution.
The Hunter rotor head is a head for an installed irrigation system, not a hose sprinkler. This site does not describe how it is installed or connected.
