We offer three perfectly paired combinations of PRS spray bodies and high-efficiency nozzles. Each pair is designed to work together to give you the best possible performance across your entire irrigation system — all while saving water.
All 1800s:
- Co-molded wiper seal provides unmatched resistance to grit, pressure, and the environment
- Constructed of time-proven UV-resistant plastic and corrosion-resistant stainless steel parts, ensuring long product life
- Precision-controlled flush at pop-down clears debris from the unit, assuring positive stem retraction in all soil types
- The two-piece ratchet mechanism allows easy nozzle pattern alignment and provides added durability
- Five-Year Trade Warranty
