Rain Bird RD1800 Spray Sprinkler

NEW from Rain Bird. The RD1800TM sprinklers are tough enough for your most challenging landscapes
Legislation, growing demand and a limited potable water supply have increased our reliance on alternative water sources. As a result, water used for irrigation is harsher today than ever before. You told us you need a spray specifically suited for the most challenging environments. You also want a spray that will conserve water and provide years of worry-free performance. The new Rain Bird RD1800TM Series Spray is proof that we've been listening.
The Rain Bird RD1800's exclusive Triple-Blade Wiper Seal prevents stick-ups. Its innovative design handles the thickest grit and most dramatic pressure variations with ease and its exclusive Flow-Shield Technology helps you identify and solve problems faster.The Rain Bird RD1800TM is available in both potable and non-potable versions.


Features

  • The co-molded, pressure activated, Triple-Blade Wiper Seal assures positive seal without excess "flow-by" which enables more heads to be installed on the same valve. A base seal provides a positive seal during operation and Triple-Blade Wiper Seal serve to precisely balance flushing, flow-by, and debris protection to optimize performance and durability during pop-up. Precision controlled flush at pop-down clears debris from the unit, ensuring positive stem retraction in all soil types.
  • Unique Debris Pockets Debris pockets in the base of the spray body collect debris and prevent recirculation in the body during operation reducing wear.
  • Designed for use with all Rain Bird plastic spray head nozzles - Rotary Nozzles, U-Series, MPR, HE-VAN, VAN, and SQ Series.
  • Parts developed to be resistant to corrosion in treated recycled water containing chlorine and other chemicals.
  • Strong stainless steel spring provides reliable stem retraction and withstands corrosion.
  • Reinforced ratchet mechanism on all models allows easy nozzle pattern alignment without tools, withstands chemicals in recycled water, and prevents pattern misalignment over time.
  • Pre-installed 1800 Pop-Top™ flush plug blocks debris from entering after flushing and allows for easy nozzle installation.
  • Constructed of time-proven UV-resistant plastic and corrosion resistant stainless steel parts, assuring long product life.
  • All sprinkler components are removable from the top without special tools, providing for quick and easy flushing and maintenance of the sprinkler.
  • Side inlets featured on non Seal-A-Matic™ (SAM) models only.
  • Five-year trade warranty.
