How to Adjust Rain Bird 1800 Pop Up Sprinkler Heads

Blog Article

Adjusting Rain Bird 1800 series pop up sprinkler heads is straightforward. First, locate the adjustment screws or tabs on the head. To change the spray arc, turn the arc adjustment screw (usually a small slot or knob) with a screwdriver. For example, turning it clockwise narrows the arc from 40° to 360°, while counterclockwise widens it. To adjust the spray distance, twist the nozzle or use the distance adjustment screw—turning it inwards reduces the throw, and outwards increases it. Ensure the head is popped up during adjustments (connect a hose to activate water pressure). After setting, test the spray pattern to avoid overwatering or dry spots. Regular checks for clogs or damage will keep your 1800 series heads functioning optimally.
