The Rain Bird PCS040 pressure-compensating screen is an orange, color-coded insert engineered for use with Rain Bird 1800 Series plastic spray nozzles. Designed to reduce fogging and stabilize flow, the PCS040 helps control spray pattern and minimize water waste in higher-pressure irrigation systems.
- Flow rating: 0.40 GPM at recommended operating conditions; color-coded orange for fast identification.
- Compensates for pressure variations to deliver more consistent nozzle performance across common irrigation pressures (1.0–4.8 bar / 15–70 psi).
- Compatible with all 1800 Series plastic nozzles and simple to install—replace the standard screen with the PCS insert for retrofit or new installations.
- When matched with specific nozzles, screens create short‑throw, reduced‑radius patterns or allow flush‑mounted bubbler configurations for targeted shrub and foundation watering.
- Durable, non‑corroding construction provides reliable service in landscape and shrub irrigation applications; color coding reduces selection errors during maintenance.
Use the PCS040 to reduce nozzle fogging, shorten throw distance when needed, and achieve steadier flow at variable inlet pressures. For applications that require a truly constant outlet pressure regardless of inlet changes, pair PCS screens with a pressure regulator and consult the Rain Bird 1800 PCS performance charts for precise radius and flow values.
