LF1200™ Series Sprinkler

The Rain Bird® LF1200™ Series Sprinkler is built rugged to withstand the harsh conditions in agricultural applications. It has been designed to combine the advantages of an impact sprinkler with stream height flexibility, delivering precise, uniform and unrivaled water distribution.

This low-flow sprinkler offers full-circle operation with a variety of color-coded nozzles and deflector inserts that snap into place with a push of a finger making accommodations to every setup a snap.

Now Available! LF1200 Acme Adapters

Rain Bird’s LF1200 Sprinklers fitted with Acme Adapters provide the easiest sprinkler serviceability ever because:

• The Acme Threaded Sprinkler (male) is easy to guide into the Acme Adapter (female), even under water pressure.
• Arrows on the sprinkler body and the Acme Adapters allow for easy thread start and quick installation while the system is operating.
• The Acme orifice creates a clean, straight stream that results in less spray when removing and installing the unit.
• The LF1200 drive unit is easily removed from the LF1200 body by lightly squeezing the body with one hand and removing the drive unit with the other.
• The LF1200 is precision molded to be smooth. It does not have sharp edges or points that can be harmful upon installation or removal.

LF1200 Features and Benefits

High Distribution Uniformity

• Weighted drive disk provides an increased dwell time between stream interruptions to achieve the maximum distance of throw
• The deflector’s water path has been designed with break-up features that maximizes throw distance and optimizes uniformity
• During impact, the Precision Jet (PJ) spoon guides the water stream gently away from the riser preventing erosion at the riser base

Most Robust Sprinkler in its Class

• Patented Ceramic Radial Bearing (CRB) is longer lasting than conventional counterparts
• Patented Flow Dependent Brake (FDB) stabilizes rotation time over a range of temperatures and water pressures
• Deflector made of composite engineered thermoplastic
  - Provides dimensional stability
  - Resists wear caused by dirty water conditions
• Drive disk made of engineered thermoplastic
  - Shields and protects brake mechanism from wind-blown debris and freezing
• Springs and pin composed of high-grade stainless steel
  - Provides consistent performance at high temperatures and below freezing
  - Resists corrosion
• Ultraviolet (UV) stabilizer protects the sprinkler from the sun

Easy to Use

• No special tools required
  - EZ-twist tabs allow simple removal of the drive unit from the body
  - Nozzles and deflectors snap into place with the push of a finger
• One sprinkler separates into four parts: the drive unit, body, deflector and nozzle
• Color coded nozzles and deflectors allow easy identification
• Weed Guard blocks weeds from growing into the sprinkler and stopping the rotations
