The arm positions are critical to the sprinklers performance. The head needs to rotate clockwise to or a failure will occur as the spindle will undo from the head. We could have used lock-tight on the thread but then you could not dismantle the head during maintenance.
The head will rotate at any angle, we recommend running the tube at the first row of roofing screws above the gutter and setting the heads at 45 degrees. Running the tube on the facia under the gutter and having the heads vertical is another option.
We recommend using an isolator to mount your copper tube, this will reduce galvanic corrosion.
We have Clic isolators in our store for this purpose.
