Installation and Service Guide
Installation and Service Guide
Toro’s new INFINITY Series sprinklers with SMART ACCESS™ are designed
specically for Golf applications and extend and enhance Toro’s industry leading
line of Golf sprinklers. Manufactured from durable, high-strength engineering
plastic and stainless-steel components, the INFINITY Series sprinklers
incorporate many innovative and time-proven features for lasting, maintenancefree operation.
Six base models are available:
• INF34 - 1” (25 mm) ACME inlet, full circle, dual trajectory
• INF54 - 1.5” (40 mm) ACME inlet, full circle, dual trajectory
• INF35 - 1” ACME inlet, full/part circle, dual trajectory
• INF55 - 1.5” ACME inlet, full/part circle, dual trajectory
• INF35-6 - 1” ACME inlet, full/part circle, 24 position TruJectory
• INF55-6 - 1.5” ACME inlet, full/part circle, 24 position TruJectory
e SMART ACCESS feature adds several signicant capabilities that allow maintenance crews to access most internal
components without having to dig or turn o the water.
Prior to installing the sprinkler, please read this Installation and Service Guide for proper installation and servicing procedures.
Observe all Warnings and Cautions when installing and operating this equipment.
™
Product Features
• Top accessibility of the pilot valve, GDC intelligence
module, wire splices, and all future enhancements. No
excavation required to access any internal components.
• Pilot valve is removeable while system is under pressure.
• Compartments provide space for current features and
future enhancements.
• Similar physical dimensions as Toro’s original sprinkler
bodies for easy replacement.
• Removeable marker is customizable for yardage markers,
station number, golf course branding, and/or other
customer desired information.
Installation
Toro Swing Joints
Toro recommends using Toro Swing Joints for INFINITY Series sprinklers.
• On sites where the possibility of heavy equipment rolling over the
sprinkler exists, the swing joint will ex preventing damage to the lateral
or main lines.
• On a new installation in raw ground where the sprinklers are to be
initially installed above the nished grade and lowered when the turf
is established, the swing joint allows sprinkler repositioning without
changing risers.
Note the correct and incorrect
swing-joint installation method.

ACME read Notes
!
!
!
e ACME thread golf sprinkler body requires an ACME thread swing joint for connection to the piping system. e ACME
swing joint has an o-ring on the exit tting that provides a water-tight seal inside the sprinkler body when properly assembled.
CAUTION: With the ACME tting, do not use thread sealants such as
Teon™ tape or pipe dope.
Important! For ease of assembly and to ensure proper sealing, moisten the
o-ring with clean water just prior to installation.
To Install Sprinklers:
Screw the sprinkler body clockwise onto the ACME swing joint exit tting until
it stops. No further adjustment is required.
CAUTION: Leakage between the swing joint exit tting and the
sprinkler body may indicate that the o-ring is improperly seated, missing,
damaged and/or the sprinkler body is not completely installed.
If leakage is observed, perform the following procedure:
1. Shut o and relieve system water pressure.
2. Remove the sprinkler from the swing joint tting.
3. Verify that the o-ring is undamaged and is properly seated in the o-ring
groove. (Replace the o-ring if necessary.)
Moisten the o-ring with water, reinstall the sprinkler, repressurize the system
and check for leakage.

Sprinkler Wiring Connections
Connecting Communication Cable to the INFINITY Series with GDC Module
e GDC system provides a coded DC signal over a polarity sensitive color coded communication cable that requires correct
connections to ensure proper operation. e GDC system also employs a daisy chain communication network where all
sprinklers, except the last one on a wire run, will have one cable coming in from the Gateway or closer sprinkler and another
going out to the next sprinkler.
1. If using jacketed cable, remove ~20” (508
mm) of shielding from communication
cable(s).
2. Route wires through the access grommet in
the bottom of the sprinkler compartment.
Provide a service loop below the sprinkler
to allow for height adjustment and future
servicing. (See Figure 1.)
3. Pull cable(s) out the top of the sprinkler
approximately 6˝ (152 mm). (See Figure 2.)
4. Strip 12-16 gauge wires 7/16˝ (11 mm) of
insulation. (See Figure 2.)
5. Connect the white cable wire(s) and the white
GDC module wire with a wire nut and install
into a waterproof grease cap (both provided).
(See Figure 3.)
6. Repeat for the black wire(s). (See Figure 3.)
7. Fold and tuck the cable connections into the
compartment pocket.
8. Record GDC module address and reference to
site location. Remove the 2 additional address
labels from the accessory kit. Ax one to the
cover for temporary future reference and the
other to the location identication form for
entry at the central controller.
9. Replace cover and install the three (3) cover
screws (from accessory kit). Tighten to 25
in/lb. (34,6 kilogram force meters) max or
medium torque and low speed setting on a
battery-powered screw-driver.

Connecting Control Wires to the INFINITY Series with Satellite
e eld satellite controllers provide a 24 VAC
signal to the sprinklers typically using individual
wires. Connections to the sprinkler solenoid in
these systems are not polarity sensitive and do
not require specic wire connections. Typically
the “common” wire from the controller is daisychained to multiple sprinklers with one wire
coming in from the satellite or closer sprinkler
and the other going on to the next sprinkler. e
station output “hot” wire typically connects to a
single sprinkler but can also be daisy-chained to
multiple sprinklers depending upon the control
system capabilities.
1. Route all wire(s) through the access grommet
in the bottom of the sprinkler compartment
providing a service loop below the sprinkler
to allow for height adjustment and future
servicing. (See Figure 1.)
2. Pull all wire(s) out the top of the sprinkler
approximately 6˝ (152 mm). (See Figure 2.)
3. Remove 7/16˝ (11 mm) of the insulation from
all of the control wires. (See Figure 2.)
4. Connect the “common” wire(s) to one of the
solenoid wires with a wire nut and install into
a waterproof grease cap (both provided).
(See Figure 3.)
5. Repeat for the station output “hot” wire(s).
(See Figure 3.)
6. Fold and tuck the wire connections into the
compartment pocket.
7. Replace cover and install the three (3) cover
screws (from accessory kit). Tighten to 25 in/
lb. (34,6 kilogram force meters) max or
medium torque setting on a battery-powered drill.

Service
e INFINITY Series sprinklers are designed to provide the user trouble-free operation for many years without scheduled
maintenance. If it becomes necessary to disassemble the sprinkler to correct a malfunction or replace a component, all internal
parts of the sprinkler can be accessed from the top. Some special tools are required for disassembly and/or maintenance of the
sprinkler and are available from your Toro dealer.

Flushing the Sprinkler
1. With sprinkler operating, carefully step down on center of cap several times. Water will ow around riser and ush out debris.
2. Cycle sprinkler on and o several times to check for proper retraction. Cap should be even with top of body ange when fully retracted. If
riser sticks in up position, check for debris lodged between riser and body. Flush out all debris. Remove riser assembly if necessary.
