Which of the following is included as an accessory?

• A. Mounting
• B. Clamps
• C. Bearings
• D. Sprinkler head

Answer: (A)

Accessories are the extra hardware that comes with irrigation equipment to help with installation and mounting, not the device’s main function. Mounting fits this idea because it refers to brackets or supports used to attach or secure a sprinkler or other component in place, enabling proper placement and stability. It isn’t part of the sprinkler’s water-distribution or mechanical operation itself.

Bearings, clamps, and sprinkler heads serve more direct roles in the system’s operation or fitment. Bearings are moving parts inside equipment, clamps secure connections as part of the piping or fittings, and a sprinkler head is the actual discharge device. These are typically considered core components or essential hardware rather than installation aids, which is why mounting is the best choice as an accessory.
