Rain Bird 1802LN Pop-up Spray Head Body Without Nozzle

Product Description

The RAIN BIRD 1802LN is a pop-up spray head body designed for residential and light commercial irrigation systems. Sold without a nozzle, it allows technicians to pair the body with a separately selected nozzle matched to the specific zone layout and throw radius. A pressure-activated co-molded wiper seal prevents flow-by and extends service life. A heavy-duty stainless steel retraction spring ensures the head flushes fully to grade after each cycle. The body is constructed with UV-resistant materials to hold up under prolonged sun exposure. It operates efficiently at low water pressure, making it suitable for systems where supply pressure is limited or pressure-regulated zones are in use.

The 1802LN is used in residential lawn and landscape irrigation systems where spray heads are installed in turf, ground cover, or planting beds. Recommended head spacing runs from 6 inches to 15 feet apart depending on the nozzle selected and zone design. This body is a standard choice for retrofits and new installations where the installer supplies the nozzle separately to match exact coverage requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed irrigators or qualified irrigation technicians. Shut off the irrigation system water supply and depressurize the lateral line before threading or replacing the head body. Hand-tighten fittings to avoid cracking the body threads; use thread seal tape on NPT connections per standard practice. Follow local plumbing and irrigation codes for head spacing, backflow prevention, and zone pressure requirements.
