- Inlet & connections: 1/2 in MPT inlet and factory swing assembly for easy lateral line installation; grate collar includes clip for 1/4 in tubing.
- Optional accessories: sand sock for sandy soils and check valve option to prevent line drainage.
- Benefits: minimizes evaporation and runoff, promotes deeper root growth, and helps stabilize young plants.
Designed for below-grade installation so the top grate sits at grade, the RWSB1402 is ideal when you need reliable, low-profile irrigation that protects landscapes and hardscapes. See the included technical documents and installation instructions for site-specific guidance, recommended connection details, and spacing guidelines. Compatible with standard drip and bubbler supplies.
Routine visual inspection and occasional flushing of the emitter are recommended to maintain performance. Use the optional accessories for sandy soils or to prevent line drainage where needed.
