My 2019 build home had almost all sprayer heads by the time we moved in. I had one zone left in the back with the rotators. Looking at the specs on Hunter their rotator nozzles have discharge angles between about 15 and 20° depending on how far the nozzle is designed to throw water. The fixed nozzles, discharge angles very depending on the radius the nozzle is designed for. However, the lower distance nozzles, 2, 4 and 6 feet discharge at 0°, with the eight and 10 foot nozzles at 15°. Larger point being, even with your 4 inch pop-up if you keep the grass trimmed well around the nozzles I think the pop-up height plus the delivery angle of the rotators should do OK for you. I have had to raise pop up bodies and/or go to the 6” heights to get my shorter throw fixed nozzles high enough.
