Product Description
The RAINBIRD NATIONAL SLS 1802FDS is a professional-series, full-circle pop-up spray head designed for residential and commercial irrigation systems. The unit features a dual spray nozzle with close-in watering coverage to promote uniform water distribution and reduce dry spots in turf and landscape zones. It incorporates a pressure-activated co-molded wiper seal to prevent debris ingestion during retraction, a stainless steel retractable spring for consistent pop-up performance, and a stainless steel flow-reduction screw for output adjustment. A removable grit filter protects internal components from particulate fouling. Licensed irrigation contractors and landscape professionals are the primary installers of this type of head.
The 1802FDS is suited for professional-grade turf and landscape irrigation layouts where full-circle coverage is required. The 2-inch pop-up height is appropriate for low-profile turf areas such as residential lawns, sports fields, and commercial green spaces. The 1/2-inch inlet connects to standard lateral irrigation lines. The easy nozzle alignment feature simplifies field installation and periodic servicing without specialty tools. This head is sold in packages of 18 units, making it practical for larger installation projects.
