The patented pressure regulator maintains optimum outlet pressure to maximize nozzle efficiency and reduces excessive nozzle flow, misting,
and fogging. Every 5 psi reduction in pressure reduces water use by 6-8%. Using PRS spray heads can provide more than 50% water savings
when compared to non-pressure regulating sprays in high pressure installations regardless of fluctuating inlet pressures.

The built-in Seal-A-Matic check valve traps water in lateral pipes and prevents drainage from sprays at lower elevations; stopping water
waste and damage due to flooding and erosion. It also reduces wear on system components by minimizing water hammer during start-up.

SQ Series, Square Pattern Nozzles


The Most Precise and Efficient, Low-Volume Spray Solution
for Irrigation of Small Areas with Dense Plantings

Q Square spray pattern and pressure compensation offer increased


efficiency and control, reducing overspray, property damage and
liability
Spray Nozzles

Q Unique edge to edge capabilities for non-turf applications


reduces the number of nozzles needed, which decreases cost and
dramatically reduces installation time

Q Simplify design and installation with the flexibility of applications:


one nozzle throws 2.5' or 4' (0.8 m or 1.2 m) and can be used on a
SQ Nozzle Installed on PolyFlex Riser variety of spray heads and risers
with Nozzle Adapter
Q Meets micro irrigation system requirement for less than 26 gph

U-Series nozzles offer better, more uniform water distribution. Water flowing from both orifices combines
to form a continuous water stream. Eliminates gaps for more uniform coverage throughout the entire
watering area

Radius Range Distribution Uniformity (DULQ): DU in irrigation is a measure of how uniformly water is
15: 15 feet (4.6 m) applied to the area being watered. DULQ is calculated by taking the volume in the lowest
Feature quarter of catch can measurements and dividing it by the average volume of all catch
VAN: Variable Arc can measurements. Scheduling Coefficient (SC): SC is a measure of how long a zone
must be run in order to provide adequate water to the driest spot.

Rotary Nozzles

Rotary Nozzles Durability


0.60 in/hr Precipitation Rate from 13 to 24 Feet - Rubber collar keeps out large debris particles while enabling small
ones to exit easily to keep deflector clean and clear of debris
Q Low precipitation rate of 0.60 in/hr (15.2 mm/hr) reduces runoff - Screen mesh size prevents large debris from entering nozzle
and erosion through spray
- Three-year trade warranty
Q With approximately 60% less flow than conventional spray nozzles,
Rotary Nozzles allow more heads per zone, reducing overall Operating Range

- 13'-18' (4.0m to 5.5m)
- Effective close-in watering
- 17'-24' (5.2m to 7.3m)
- Even distribution over the entire radius
* Radius refers to recommended spacing to achieve optimal precipitation rate and

Variable arc rotary nozzles let you quickly adjust arc
and radius by hand

Q Hand-adjustable arc and radius no special tools required.

Q Low precipitation rate reduces run-off and the potential for


erosion.

Spray Nozzles
Q High uniformity, thick wind resistant streams and larger water
droplets ensure efficient performance, even in adverse conditions.

Rain Curtain Nozzles engineered to deliver superior coverage across the entire radius range.

Rain Curtain Nozzles produce larger water droplets that are far
less susceptible to wind, and greatly minimize misting and airborne
evaporation. This assures that the right amount of water goes where it
needs to go, saving time, money and water.
Effective and gentle close-in watering eliminates dry spots around the
rotor, and distribution uniformity compensates for varying environmental
conditions assuring green grass results.

- Measures the four key components of ET: solar radiation, relative
humidity, wind, and temperature, as well as effective rainfall
- Adjusts program run-times and the frequency of irrigation
- Four separate moisture balances are maintained, one for each
program or hydrozone to efficiently water varied plant types
(example: turf, shrubs, trees, annuals, etc)
Easy Installation
- Installs in seconds with no tools into all ESP-LX Series controllers;
snaps into a dedicated bay on the back of the controller faceplate
- Antenna mounts on NPS nipple
- Setup Wizard walks user through all key setup parameters
Reduced Liability
- Minimum temperature interrupt to prevent irrigation during

WR2 Series Wireless


Rain/Freeze Sensors
Saving water and so much more.
Rain and rain/freeze sensors are becoming must have
components for irrigation systems these days. Rain Bird
designed the new WR2 wireless sensor to exceed the standard.
With revolutionary features, this sensor saves time, improves
system performance and enhances your reputation as a water
management expert. Reliable signal transmission and other
innovations deliver superior responsiveness to rainfall and cold
temperatures, while user-friendly features cut installation and
programming time in half. Choose your own rainfall set points and
save up to 35% on water usage while promoting lush, beautiful
landscapes.

Q Designed for 24 VAC residential and commercial irrigation systems,


 this high-quality product saves water and extends irrigation system WR2 Series Wireless
life by automatically sensing precipitation and interrupting irrigation Rain/Freeze Sensors
during rain and low temperature events
Q Highly intuitive icon-driven controller interface simplifies
 programming
Q Enhanced antenna array provides superior signal reliability that
 overcomes most line-of-sight obstructions

About Central Control Systems
Irrigation central control is computer-based and enables the programming, Rain Bird Single Site Central Control Systems
monitoring and operation of an irrigation system from a central location. Central
control systems are designed to allow a single site (college campus, corporate SiteControl
headquarters) or a set of sites (school district, parks and recreation department) SiteControl offers powerful central control features for single, large, contiguous
to control all their irrigation from one central computer. Central control can sites. SiteControl provides interactive map-based control and real-time
monitor and automatically adapt system operation and irrigation run-times in communication between the field and the central computer. It can control
response to conditions in the system and surrounding area (weather change, two-wire decoders, satellite controllers or both for unmatched expandability
pipe breaks, etc) as well as parameters defined by the operator. and flexibility. SiteControl is ideal for property developments, sports field
complexes, shopping malls, cemeteries, resorts and hotels.
Rain Bird Central Control
Rain Bird developed the original computer based central control system in
the 1970s and today has thousands of systems installed worldwide.

Satellite Controllers and Field Decoders


Rain Bird offers a variety of systems to match the needs of the customer,
budget, site or application. Select from systems designed specifically for
single sites, multiple sites, small or large. Rain Bird central control systems
can utilize satellite controllers, two-wire decoders, or a combination of both.

Use a mix of Xeri-Bug and Pressure Compensating Module emitters in a Xeri-Bird 8 to accommodate the watering needs of different plant
materials. When mixing emitters, be sure to note the system run-time to prevent over- or under-watering.

SQ Series, Square Pattern Nozzles


The Most Precise and Efficient, Low-Volume Spray Solution
for Irrigation of Small Areas with Dense Plantings

Q Square spray pattern and pressure compensation offer increased


efficiency and control, reducing overspray, property damage and
liability

Q Unique edge to edge capabilities for non-turf applications


reduces the number of nozzles needed, which decreases cost and
dramatically reduces installation time

Q Simplify design and installation with the flexibility of applications:


one nozzle throws 2.5' or 4' (0.8 m or 1.2 m) and can be used on a
SQ Nozzle Installed on PolyFlex Riser variety of spray heads and risers
with Nozzle Adapter
Q Meets micro irrigation system requirement for less than 26 gph

This centrifugal action throws heavier particulates towards the filter
walls and eventually downward in a spiral motion to the separation
chamber. The particulates collect in the separation chamber and are
purged manually from the system. The filtered water is then drawn
to the separators vortex and through the outlet
