Rain Bird RCKIT-1PK 1800 Spray Head and Riser Drip Conversion Kit

Rain Bird RCKIT-1PK 1800 Spray Head and Riser Drip Conversion Kit

Brand: Rain Bird | SKU: RCKIT-1PK

Product Overview

RCKIT-1PK provides a regulated, filtered connection from an existing sprinkler location to drip tubing. Use it to convert a compatible Rain Bird 1800 spray head or connect at a nominal 1/2-inch male-thread irrigation riser, then plan the entire zone for drip operation.

Key Features

• Integrated 30 psi regulator reduces supply pressure for drip use.
• 200-mesh screen filters debris before water reaches the tubing.
• Included Easy Fit tee connects compatible nominal 1/2-inch or 5/8-inch drip tubing.
• An 1800 spray-head conversion can often use the existing buried body.

Common Uses

• Changing a planting-bed spray zone to drip tubing.
• Starting a drip connection at an existing irrigation riser.

Technical Specifications

• Tubing, emitters and caps for remaining sprinklers are separate.

Dimensions

Allow space around the tee for tubing bends and service access. The nominal riser and tubing sizes describe connection fit rather than the overall kit dimensions.

Compatibility & Installation Notes

For a compatible 1800 spray body, follow the kit conversion procedure for replacing the spray internals. Other sprinkler bodies may need removal so the kit can connect to the existing 1/2-inch male fitting. Flush debris before attaching tubing. Convert the other sprinklers on the same zone or cap unused outlets, and check that the valve can operate at the new zone flow. Verify tubing outside diameter against the included tee; nominal tubing labels alone can vary. A regulator reduces pressure and does not boost a low-pressure supply.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can RCKIT-1PK replace an 1800 spray head?

Yes. It is designed to convert a compatible Rain Bird 1800 spray head to a drip connection, often without digging out the body.

What filtration and regulation are included?

The kit provides a 200-mesh filter and nominal 30 psi pressure regulation.

Can spray heads keep running on the same converted zone?

Plan the zone for drip: convert the remaining sprinklers or cap the outlets that are no longer used.

Why Buy from Big Frog Supply?

Choose RCKIT-1PK when the water source is an existing 1800 spray location or 1/2-inch riser. The combined 200-mesh filtration and 30 psi regulation prepare that connection for drip tubing, while the included tee gives a starting point for the layout. Checking the rest of the zone and its valve flow requirement is as important as matching the riser.
