Rainbird National Sls 1804HDS Pop Up Spray Head Half Circle

Product Description

The RAINBIRD NATIONAL SLS 1804HDS is a professional-series pop-up spray head designed for residential and commercial irrigation systems. This half-circle unit features a dual spray nozzle configuration with patented close-in watering technology that promotes uniform water coverage and reduces dry spots. The 1804HDS pops up 4 inches for adequate throw clearance above turf and ground cover. A patented pressure-activated co-molded wiper seal keeps the stem clean on retraction, extending service life in sandy or dirty soil conditions. Irrigation technicians and landscape contractors install this head where consistent arc coverage in tight or bordered zones is required.

The 1804HDS is suited for half-circle coverage zones in residential lawns, commercial turf areas, and landscaped beds where a 180-degree spray pattern is needed. The dual spray nozzle delivers even distribution across the arc, making it a practical choice for borders, edges, and strip zones. The 0.5-inch inlet threads into standard lateral line fittings. Each unit ships as part of an 18-count package, making it efficient for multi-head zone installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed irrigators or landscape irrigation technicians.

Follow local irrigation codes and manufacturer nozzle spacing recommendations to achieve specified distribution uniformity.
