Rainbird National Sls 1802AP8 Adjustable Arc Pop-up Spray Head

Product Description

The RAINBIRD NATIONAL SLS 1802AP8 is a professional-series pop-up arc spray head designed for in-ground irrigation systems in residential and commercial landscaping applications. It features a 2-inch pop-up height and an adjustable arc pattern ranging from 0 to 360 degrees, giving technicians full control over coverage zones. The spray distance reaches up to 8 feet. A patented pressure-activated co-molded wiper seal keeps the stem clean on retraction, extending service life in gritty or debris-heavy soil conditions. Installed by licensed irrigation contractors and experienced landscapers, this head is built for reliable, repeatable performance in professional-grade systems.

The 1802AP8 is suited for residential lawn and garden zones as well as light commercial turf areas where precise, adjustable spray coverage is required. Its 0.5-inch inlet threads into standard lateral piping. The adjustable arc pattern makes it a practical choice for irregular or oddly shaped turf sections where fixed-arc heads would create overspray onto hardscaping or structures. Units are packaged in quantities of 18, making them efficient for multi-zone installation jobs or service truck restocking.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed irrigation contractor or qualified technician familiar with local irrigation and plumbing codes. Shut off the irrigation supply and relieve line pressure before disassembling or replacing any spray head. Ensure the inlet connection is hand-tightened and then snugged with appropriate tools to avoid cracking the body. Flush the lateral line before final nozzle installation to clear debris that could clog the grit filter.
