    A pop-up sprinkler is a type of irrigation head commonly used in lawn and landscape watering systems that remains hidden below the ground surface until activated. When water pressure is supplied to the system, the internal riser and nozzle assembly extend upwards (pop up) out of the main body, which is buried flush with the ground. Once extended, the sprinkler distributes water over a designated area according to its specific design, which can range from fixed spray patterns to rotating streams covering larger distances. After the watering cycle completes and the water pressure drops, a spring mechanism retracts the riser and nozzle back into the protective casing, returning it to below ground level. This design offers aesthetic benefits by keeping the sprinkler heads out of sight when not in use, reduces the risk of tripping hazards, and protects the sprinkler components from damage by lawnmowers, foot traffic, and other activities.
