Metal Impulse Sprinkler YM8104
YM8104 is an impulse sprinkler with a metal build.
What YM8104 Is
YM8104 is an impulse sprinkler with a metal build. It ships on tie on card, 48 pieces per carton at 0.032 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
- Metal body and trigger hold their shape and their aim better than an equivalent plastic build
- Published carton data, 48 pieces at 0.032 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
- Ranges with no credible premium step above the plastic tier
- 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
- Construction metal
- Retail pack tie on card
- Single jet impulse mechanism stepped around a circle or an arc
- Throw and arc set at the head

How to Get the Best Out of YM8104
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 YM8104 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.
Plastic Impulse Sprinkler with Metal Spike YM8104D
YM8104D is the plastic build. YM8104 uses a metal body, which holds its aim and its shape better in season after season use.
8-Pattern Metal Mask Base Sprinkler YM8113Z
YM8113Z is a sprinkler. YM8104 is a impulse sprinkler, and the two are usually sold alongside each other rather than instead of each other.

How far does this sprinkler throw?
Throw depends on your local mains pressure, so we do not publish a radius we have not measured under your conditions. Ask for a sample and test it on your own supply before you commit a programme.
Can the arc be adjusted?
Impulse heads are set at the head to run a full circle or a part arc. Confirm the exact adjustment range for this model with us before you write listing copy around it.
Can YM8104 be supplied under our own brand?
Yes. Private label and customisation are standard here. Send your artwork, colour references and target volume and we will quote it. Sample delivery is 30 days.
What is the minimum order for this model?
It depends on the pack format and whether the run is private label. Tell us the quantity you have in mind and we will tell you plainly whether it is workable rather than quoting a number that only suits us.
