Product Description
-------------------
Rain Bird RCKIT-1PS Drip Irrigation Conversion/Connection Kit
for 5/8”, 1/2", .700” Drip Tubing. Convenient kit converts
underground sprinklers and 1/2” risers in landscaped areas to
water-saving Drip irrigation. Easily installed in minutes, this
kit waters flower beds, shrubs, and more with pinpoint
efficiency. All-in-one unit provides 30 PSI pressure regulation,
and 200-mesh filter screen for optimal Drip system performance.
Saving up to 65% over sprinkler watering, Drip systems apply
water directly to the root zone for ier, faster-growing
s, longer lasting blooms, and greener leaves. Since you
won't be watering the surrounding soil, you'll also have fewer
weeds to pull. In most instances, owners of Rain Bird 1800 Series
pop-up sprinklers (#1 installed sprinkler head by professional
installers) will make the conversion without digging. To install
kit simply unscrew head of existing 1800 spray and lift out
internal mechanism, replace with kit head and internal assembly
and tighten. Kit will replace all pop-up sprinklers with a 1/2”
threaded bottom inlet. Dig out old sprinkler and thread kit to
existing 1/2” male fitting; flush system to remove any debris
before adding tubing. Easy Fit 1/2” Tee compression tubing
connector allows for quick, easy assembly to any 5/8”, 1/2”, or
.700” Drip tubing. Simply slide tubing into compression
connectors for a secure leak-proof seal. Can be installed above
or below grade; constructed of highly durable UV and
-resistant materials to assure long life. Requires
capping other heads on the zone; use Rain Bird 1800CAPS (sold
separately) for quick secure termination. Specifications: flow
rate of 0.5 to 4 gallons per minute; inlet pressure 15 to 70 PSI.
Please note: If retrofit flow is less than 3 gallons per minute,
replace electronic valve with Rain Bird Control Zone Valve Kit:
CPZ075FAS, or CPZ075FIS (sold separately). Rain Bird “The
