Rain Bird RCKIT-1PKB Drip Conversion Kit 30 Psi

Product Description

The RAIN BIRD RCKIT-1PKB is a drip conversion kit designed to convert an existing Rain Bird 1800 series spray head or a threaded riser into a drip tubing zone. The kit includes a filter, a 30 psi pressure regulator, and a swivel tee with compression fittings - giving installers everything needed to transition from a standard spray circuit to low-volume drip irrigation in a single package. The 1/2 inch outlet size fits standard tubing connections. This kit is installed by licensed irrigation contractors and experienced landscape professionals working on residential or light commercial irrigation systems.

This conversion kit is suited for retrofit applications where an existing pop-up spray zone is being converted to drip or micro-irrigation. The integrated pressure regulator limits output to 30 psi, which is within the operating range required by most drip emitters and micro-spray heads. The filter protects downstream emitters from debris carried in the supply line. The swivel tee with compression fittings simplifies connection to 1/2 inch poly tubing without solvent or threaded fittings at the tubing joint.

Installation Notes

Shut off the irrigation system and relieve line pressure before removing the existing spray head or riser. Install the conversion kit into the existing spray body or riser fitting per standard irrigation practices. After installation, run the zone briefly and inspect all compression fittings and the swivel tee for leaks before backfilling or covering connections. Local codes may apply to irrigation system modifications - consult applicable standards before proceeding.
