Rain Bird 1804AP8 Pop-up Sprinkler Head

Product Description

The RAIN BIRD 1804AP8 is a professional-series pop-up sprinkler head designed for use in residential and light commercial irrigation systems. It features a 4-inch pop-up height, delivering consistent, reliable coverage when the system is pressurized and retracting flush with the turf when idle. This type of fixed-spray head is a staple component in zone-based irrigation layouts, typically installed by licensed irrigation contractors or experienced landscape professionals.

The 1804AP8 is suited for use in lawn and landscape irrigation zones where a low-profile, ground-level sprinkler is required. Its pop-up design minimizes mowing and foot-traffic interference, making it appropriate for maintained turf areas, planting beds, and commercial groundskeeping applications. Compatible nozzles determine the spray pattern and radius, allowing flexible zone configuration.

Key Features

• 4-inch pop-up height keeps the head flush with grade when not in use
• Professional-series construction for use in residential and commercial irrigation systems
• Accepts interchangeable nozzles for adjustable spray pattern and radius
• Lightweight design at 0.248 pounds for easy handling and installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install component for standard fixed-spray irrigation zones using Rain Bird 1800-series pop-up bodies.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed irrigation contractors. Shut off the irrigation water supply and depressurize the zone before any head replacement or new installation. Follow local plumbing and landscape irrigation codes for burial depth and spacing requirements. Do not overtighten fittings on the inlet threads, as this may crack the body.
