Rain Bird RISER1PKS Drip Irrigation Riser and Stake

Product Description

The RAIN BIRD RISER1PKS is a riser and stake watering accessory designed for drip and micro-irrigation systems. The assembly consists of a rigid plastic stake that anchors into the ground and a vertical riser tube that positions micro-watering devices at the correct delivery height. Standing 19 inches tall with a 1/4-inch tubing diameter, this component gives installers precise control over emitter placement in landscaped beds, container plantings, and vegetable gardens. It is compatible with all standard micro-watering devices and is sold as a single unit.

This riser and stake is used in residential and light commercial drip irrigation layouts where micro-emitters, micro-sprays, or bubblers need to be elevated above ground level or mulch. It is typically installed by irrigation contractors and landscape technicians during system buildout or retrofit work. The 1/4-inch tubing diameter matches the most common small-bore drip distribution tubing used in micro-irrigation networks.

Key Features

• 19-inch height positions emitters above mulch, ground cover, or low foliage
• 1/4-inch tubing diameter fits standard micro-irrigation supply tubing
• Plastic construction resists moisture, soil contact, and UV exposure in outdoor installations
• Compatible with all micro-watering devices for broad system flexibility
• Stake design provides stable, tool-free anchoring in most soil conditions

Compatibility

Designed for use with all micro-watering devices on 1/4-inch drip and micro-irrigation distribution systems.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require specialized tools - press the stake firmly into prepared soil and connect the 1/4-inch supply tubing before activating the zone. Shut off the irrigation zone or close the supply valve before making any tubing connections or adjustments. Verify that the emitter or micro-spray device is fully seated on the riser before pressurizing the line. Follow local codes and the irrigation system manufacturer guidelines for maximum operating pressure on 1/4-inch micro-tubing.
