Performance data derived from tests that conform with ASAE Standards; ASAE S398.1, Procedure for Sprinkler Testing and Performance Reporting.
RD1800™ Series Spray Heads
4", 6", 12" (10.2 cm; 15.2 cm; 30.5 cm)
• Designed for use with all Rain Bird plastic spray head
nozzles – Rotary Nozzles, U-Series, MPR, VAN, HE-VAN
and SQ Series
• Parts resistant to corrosion in treated recycled water
containing chlorine and other chemicals
• Strong stainless steel spring provides reliable stem
retraction and withstands corrosion
• Exclusive co-molded, pressure-activated Triple-Blade
Wiper Seal ensures a positive seal without excess
“flow-by”, which enables more heads to be installed
on the same valve.
• Debris pockets in the base of the spray body prevent
recirculation of harmful debris during operation.
• Reinforced ratchet mechanism allows easy nozzle
pattern alignment without tools, withstands
chemicals 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.
• UV-resistant plastic and stainless steel parts, assure
long product life.
• All sprinkler components are removable from the
top without special tools, for quick and easy flushing
and maintenance.
• Side inlets featured on non Seal-A-Matic™ (SAM)
models only.
• Five-year trade warranty.
