Rain Bird a22435 Root Watering Sand Sock

Product Description

The RAIN BIRD a22435 is a soil filtration sock designed to slide over the RWS (Root Watering System) cylinder, blocking fine sand and soil particles from penetrating the cylinder and causing clogs. It acts as a protective sleeve around the subsurface irrigation component, maintaining consistent water flow through the cylinder over time. This part is installed by irrigation technicians and landscape professionals as part of a deep-root watering setup. Keeping the RWS cylinder clear of fine particulate is essential to long-term system performance and reduced maintenance intervals.

The a22435 sand sock is used in subsurface and deep-root irrigation applications where RWS cylinders are installed in sandy or fine-particulate soil conditions. It is particularly relevant in landscapes, turf, and tree-watering installations where soil migration into the cylinder would otherwise compromise flow rates. This sleeve is ordered and installed alongside the RWS cylinder as a standard component of that system.

Key Features

• Filters fine sand and soil particles to prevent cylinder clogging
• Designed to slide directly over the RAIN BIRD RWS cylinder
• Protects subsurface irrigation components in fine-particulate soil environments
• Supports consistent, long-term water delivery in deep-root watering systems
• Sold in multiples of 6 units to match typical installation quantities

Compatibility

Designed for use with the RAIN BIRD RWS (Root Watering System) cylinder as a direct-fit filtration sleeve.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified irrigation technicians. Shut off the irrigation system and depressurize the line before handling subsurface components. Slide the sand sock fully over the RWS cylinder before inserting the assembly into the ground to ensure complete coverage. Follow local irrigation and landscape codes for subsurface system installation depth and backfill practices.
