The Rain Bird RD12SP30F is a durable RD1800-series 12 in pop-up spray head engineered for demanding commercial and residential irrigation. It combines a Seal-A-Matic (SAM) check valve, a built-in PRS 30 psi pressure regulator, and Flow‑Shield technology to protect turf and simplify maintenance.

  • Robust construction: UV-resistant plastic body with corrosion-resistant stainless steel parts for long life in harsh conditions.
  • SAM check valve: Prevents low-head drainage and holds up to 14 ft of head to protect slopes and reduce runoff.
  • PRS 30 pressure regulator: Maintains optimal nozzle pressure at ~30 psi, reducing misting and improving uniformity.
  • Flow-Shield technology: Built-in low-flow vertical jet alerts to missing or damaged nozzles and limits wasted water.
  • Serviceable design: Top-accessible internals, debris pockets, and reinforced ratchet for easy maintenance without special tools.
  • Specs & compatibility: 12 in pop-up, 16 in body, 1/2 in female NPT inlet, exposed diameter 2 1/4 in; compatible with Rain Bird spray nozzles (nozzle sold separately).

Designed for spacing from 2.5 to 24 ft and operating pressures from 15 to 100 psi, the RD12SP30F delivers dependable performance across turf and landscape applications. It is ideal where reclaimed water, grit, or variable pressures challenge conventional spray heads. Nozzle not included; choose a Rain Bird nozzle appropriate for desired radius and precipitation rate.
