Rain Bird A50605 Pop-up Sprinkler Body 3 in 30 Psi

Product Description

The RAIN BIRD A50605 is a 3-inch pop-up sprinkler body with an integrated 30 psi pressure regulator, designed for residential and light commercial irrigation systems. The built-in pressure regulator maintains a consistent downstream pressure of 30 psi, protecting sprinkler heads and nozzles from pressure-induced misting, fogging, and premature wear. This body installs in-ground and connects to standard irrigation lateral lines. Licensed irrigation contractors and landscape professionals are the typical installers, though experienced DIYers working on residential irrigation systems also use this component.

The A50605 is suited for turf and landscape irrigation zones where system pressure exceeds the optimal operating range of the installed sprinkler heads. The 3-inch pop-up height positions the nozzle above low ground cover and turf during operation and retracts flush when the zone shuts off. The integrated pressure regulation eliminates the need for a separate inline pressure regulator at each head location, simplifying zone design and reducing component count.

Key Features

• Integrated 30 psi pressure regulator controls downstream pressure at the head
• 3-inch pop-up height suitable for turf and low ground cover applications
• Eliminates need for separate inline pressure regulators per head
• Reduces misting and fogging caused by excess operating pressure
• Designed for standard irrigation lateral line connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade body for residential and light commercial in-ground irrigation systems using standard pop-up sprinkler heads compatible with 3-inch pop-up bodies.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed irrigation contractor or landscape professional. Shut off the irrigation system water supply and depressurize the lateral line before removing any existing sprinkler body or fitting. Ensure the body is installed at the correct depth so the top of the body sits flush with the finished grade. Follow all applicable local plumbing and irrigation codes when installing or modifying in-ground irrigation systems.
