Rainbird National Sls 12AP-C1 Adjustable Spray Nozzle

Product Description

The RAINBIRD NATIONAL SLS 12AP-C1 is an adjustable spray nozzle designed for residential and commercial irrigation systems. It delivers a matched precipitation rate across a 7 to 12 foot adjustable throw radius, ensuring uniform water distribution when multiple nozzle patterns are used within the same irrigation zone. The 12AP-C1 features an infinite arc adjustment, allowing the operator to dial in any arc from 0 to 360 degrees without being locked into fixed increments. This flexibility makes it a practical choice for irregular turf and landscape beds where coverage geometry changes from head to head. Licensed irrigators and landscape contractors are the primary installers.

This nozzle is suited for pop-up spray head bodies in both residential lawn and commercial landscape applications. Its matched precipitation rate design is especially relevant in mixed-pattern zones, where quarter, half, and full-circle heads must apply water at the same rate to prevent over- or under-watering in any one area. The adjustable radius and infinite arc make it adaptable to tight corners, narrow strips, and irregular planting beds without requiring separate fixed-arc nozzle inventories. Each package contains 25 nozzles.

Key Features

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed irrigators or qualified landscape contractors. Shut off the irrigation controller and close the zone valve before removing or installing any nozzle. Arc and radius adjustments should be made during a live test cycle after installation to confirm coverage pattern and eliminate dry spots or overspray onto hardscape. Follow local codes and water authority requirements for irrigation system design and backflow protection.
