Riser Connection Kit
Rain Bird^® Landscape Dripline System

Replace an underground irrigation spray head or mount on any riser.

• Sized for easy conversion of a Rain Bird® 1800® pop-up spray head
• Also connects to other standard 1/2" irrigation fittings
• All-in-one unit includes filter, 30psi regulator and swivel tee

Note: A drip system needs to be operated on a separate zone than spray heads and rotors. When using the RC-KIT to convert a zone to drip, either convert all spray heads or rotors on that zone to drip or cap off the spray heads and rotors that are not converted to drip.

TIP: Minimum operating pressure for a drip system is 15 psi,
maximum is 25-30 psi. The Faucet Connection Kit (FC-KIT) and Riser Connection Kit (RC-KIT) each contain a 25-30 psi regulator to reduce higher pressures. These connection kits also incorporate a 150-200 mesh filter to protect the tubing emitters. CAUTION: Not using the pressure regulator and filter may damage your system.
