Primary Application

Under the nozzle, pressure compensation screens help reduce pressure fluctuations. Use to control fogging of spray head nozzlesby reducing the incoming pressure or to reduce the radius of thewater pattern. Take control of your system with 1800 PCS Screens.

Features• Compensates for pressure variations• Eliminates fogging and water waste caused by high pressures• Nozzles can be matched with screens to create short-throw,

reduced radius patterns and/or flush-mounted bubblers• New .08 gpm (0,02 m3/h; 0,01 l/s) and .25 gpm (0,06 m3/h; 0,02

l/s) screens allow greater flexibility in achieving 4', 6' and 7' radiuspatterns

• Color-coded for easy identification• Use with all 1800 Series plastic nozzles (MPR, VAN, U-Series,

Strips and Bubblers)• Easily installed in new and retrofit applications. Simply replace

standard screen with PCS screen

*With a pressure compensator, outlet pressure will be reduced, butwill fluctuate as the inlet pressure changes. A pressure compensatorcannot maintain outlet pressure at a constant rate. A pressure regulator establishes and maintains a constant outlet pressure of 30psi (2,1 bar) as long as the inlet pressure at the spray head is greaterthan 30 psi (2,1 bar).

Install proven Rain Curtain™ technologyThere are three elements which create the superior coverage ofRain Curtain nozzle technology.

Install proven Rain Curtain™ technology.

Rain Curtain technology produces larger water droplets that are far less susceptible to wind, and greatly minimizes mistingand airborne evaporation. This competitive advantage assuresthat the right amount of water goes where it needs to go whichsaves time, money and equally important, one of nature’s mostvaluable resources.

Rain Bird’s broad range of Rain Curtain nozzles [0.54-36.3 gpm(0,12-8,24 m3/h), 15-81 ft. (4,6-24,7m)] is engineered to deliveroptimum distribution uniformity across the entire radius range.This uniformity compensates for varying environmental conditions,offering flexibility to the designer and assuring green grass results.

*Based on tests conducted at Rain Bird’s Product Research Center in Glendora, CA. Test results reflect a comparison of Rain Bird’s products with those of its principal competitors.

**Based on a report published by The Center for Irrigation Technology.

Engineered Rain Curtain Technology

In Rain Bird commercial rotors,Rain Curtain technology centersaround three watering ports thatdeliver long-range, mid-rangeand close-in water for optimumdistribution uniformity. This uniformity across the entireradius range greatly diminishes

dependence on near-perfect head-to-head spacing, andreduces the need to overwater because there are no gaps in coverage. The close-in watering port features anexpansion chamber that actually takes energy out of thatpart of the stream which is diverted downward around thehead. By reducing the velocity of the water by as much as90%, effective close-in watering is achieved. The close-inwater flowing out of the bottom of this port is distributedgently, even though the rotor is operating at a relativelyhigh flow and pressure.

Effective and gentle close-in watering eliminates dry spotsaround the rotor without seed washout.

How is Nozzle Performance Measured?Scheduling Coefficient (SC) is one of the most accurateways to measure water distribution.

SC measures how much longer you must water the entirearea for the driest sections to receive sufficient water.

The lower the SC, the better the rotor distributes water.A SC of 1.0 represents perfect uniformity. Tests showthat even rain has an SC greater than 1.0.**

Test results from side-by-side comparisons with competitive nozzle products prove that Rain Curtaintechnology consistently outperforms the competitionwith the lowest scheduling coefficients—as low as 1.1.*

Rain Bird IS increasessurvival rates of transplants by providing continuous moisture neededto reduce the stress of relocation.

Features• Helps new transplants become established in existing landscapes.

Existing vegetation is not subjected to over-watering while trying toestablish the new plant, and the new plant has its own additionalsource of water until it becomes established

• Provides moisture around the clock to the root zone where capillaryactivity in the soil carries and maintains moisture throughout theroot zone

• 100% all natural, non-toxic and harmless to people and pets. Not asynthetic polymer

• Provides water to the plant, instead of competing with the plant forwater like polymers

• Available in degradable paper carton with non-toxic, water-basedinks that meet landfill requirements

• Establish healthier trees and shrubs by minimizing transplant stress• Eliminates evaporation, runoff and leaching• Requires little to no maintenance• Now also available in smaller 30-Day Gel Packs

Operating Specifications• Disperses water at a consistent rate for up to 90 days. Bacteria

naturally found in soil gradually break down the food grade ingredients and convert Rain Bird IS back into liquid water at a consistent and steady release rate. The rate at which the productliquefies varies based on several factors, resulting in a usage lifethat could be shorter than 90 days. Users are advised to check theproduct package within 45 - 60 days.

General Use Guide

• The recommendednumber of quarts isbased on the needs of medium water-useplant material. For high water-use plants,multiply this recommended numberof units by 1.5.

• Excessive heat, wind,plants with extensivefoliage or plants bearing fruit willrequire additionalwatering.
