Frequently Asked Questions
Does 55K1 fit a model 7 valve?
No. Rain Bird specifies 7K for model 7; 55K1 is listed for 5-RC and 5-NP.
Is the outlet a garden-hose thread?
The manufacturer chart lists a 1-inch male pipe-thread outlet. Select a matching hose swivel or adapter.
Why Buy from Big Frog Supply?
Choose 55K1 for a verified 5-RC or 5-NP water-access valve. Its 1-inch male pipe outlet helps determine the hose adapter you need, while the valve-specific key selection prevents confusing it with a 44K or larger 7K.
