Rainbird National Sls 52SA Ss Gear Rotor Sprinkler

Product Description

The RAINBIRD NATIONAL SLS 52SA is an adjustable gear-drive rotor sprinkler built with a premium stainless steel shaft and body for extended service life in demanding irrigation applications. The 52SA delivers a spray distance of 25 to 50 feet and features a 4-inch pop-up height designed to clear tall turf grass without obstruction. The Rain Curtain nozzle with enhanced micro ramps promotes close-in watering coverage, reducing dry spots near the head. The water-lubricated gear drive eliminates external lubricants and supports reliable, low-maintenance operation. Licensed irrigation contractors and landscape professionals install this unit in commercial and residential turf zones.

The 52SA is suited for medium to large turf areas where consistent coverage and arc flexibility are required. The sprinkler supports both full-circle and part-circle patterns in a single unit, with arc adjustment from 40 to 360 degrees. This eliminates the need for separate full-circle and part-circle heads on the same zone. The 3/4-inch inlet fits standard lateral pipe connections common in commercial and residential irrigation systems. It is appropriate for new construction irrigation layouts and direct replacement of aging rotor heads in existing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed irrigation contractor in accordance with local plumbing and irrigation codes. Shut off system water pressure completely before removing or installing rotor heads. Ensure the inlet connection is threaded to the correct torque for the pipe material to prevent joint failure. Flush lateral lines before final head installation to clear debris from the gear drive.
