Rain Bird A50406MX 12 in Pop-up Sprinkler Body 45 Psi Regulator

Product Description

The RAIN BIRD A50406MX is a 12-inch pop-up sprinkler body with an integrated 45 psi pressure regulator, designed for use in residential and commercial irrigation systems. The built-in pressure regulator limits outlet pressure to 45 psi, protecting downstream nozzles and rotors from misting and fogging caused by excessive water pressure. This body is installed in-ground as part of a fixed or rotor-spray head assembly and is typically serviced by irrigation technicians or licensed plumbers performing landscape irrigation work.

This pop-up body is suited for turf and landscape irrigation zones where supply pressure exceeds recommended operating ranges for spray or rotor heads. The 12-inch pop-up height provides adequate clearance for tall-grass or ground-cover applications. The integrated pressure regulator eliminates the need for a separate inline pressure-reducing device at each head, simplifying zone design and reducing component count on high-pressure supply lines.

Key Features

• 12-inch pop-up height for tall turf or ground-cover coverage
• Integrated 45 psi pressure regulator controls outlet pressure at the head
• Eliminates need for separate inline pressure-reducing components per zone
• Designed for in-ground installation in residential and commercial irrigation layouts
• Compatible with standard spray nozzles and rotor inserts used on pop-up bodies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct installation pop-up body for residential and commercial in-ground irrigation systems using standard spray or rotor nozzle assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified irrigation technician or licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing and irrigation codes. Shut off the irrigation zone valve and relieve system pressure before removing or replacing any in-ground sprinkler body. Use a pop-up body extraction tool or flat-blade tool to avoid damaging surrounding turf or the riser threads. Verify supply pressure at the zone valve before selecting the appropriate regulated body to ensure the 45 psi regulator matches system requirements.
