Rain Bird A47028 Mpr Stream Bubbler Nozzle 5 Ft 180 Degree

Product Description

The RAIN BIRD A47028 is an MPR (Matched Precipitation Rate) stream bubbler nozzle designed for low-volume, close-range irrigation coverage. Built for a 5-foot radius at a 180-degree arc, this nozzle delivers a steady, low-trajectory stream pattern that reduces misting and wind drift. It installs into standard pop-up sprinkler bodies or riser assemblies and is a common choice for landscape irrigation contractors and grounds maintenance professionals managing shrub beds, ground cover areas, and narrow planting strips where full-circle heads would overspray.

This nozzle is suited for residential and light commercial landscape irrigation systems. The 180-degree arc pattern makes it appropriate for edge-of-bed placements along borders, walkways, building foundations, and fence lines. The 5-foot radius keeps water on target in tight planting areas. Installation requires a compatible MPR nozzle-accepting sprinkler body. It is typically installed by irrigation technicians or landscaping professionals during system installation or nozzle retrofit projects.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed irrigation technician or qualified landscaping professional. Shut off the irrigation system and relieve line pressure before removing or installing nozzles. Hand-tighten the nozzle into the sprinkler body to avoid cross-threading; do not use tools that could crack the nozzle or damage the body threads. After installation, cycle the zone and verify arc alignment and radius before finalizing coverage.
