Compatibility & Installation Notes
Choose the side-strip pattern for the actual riser position and bed boundary. A17CST center-strip and A17EST end-strip models serve different layouts.
Use a matching 1/2-inch male fixed riser tall enough to clear the planting. Flush debris before fitting the assembly and keep the filter screen in place.
Check the pattern, reach and overlap with the zone operating. The listed rectangle describes watering coverage, not the physical size of the nozzle.
Select for the zone’s available pressure and flow. Do not apply the generic quarter-circle A17 flow figures to this strip pattern.
Rain Bird’s application guidance excludes these riser-mounted nozzles from California and other locations requiring pressure regulation. Confirm that a fixed-riser nozzle is appropriate for the installation before ordering.

Why Buy from Big Frog Supply?
Choose A17SST for a narrow planting bed whose riser position calls for a side-strip pattern. Its listed 3-by-20 to 4-by-30-foot watering footprint helps check the strip’s reach, and the 1/2-inch female pipe connection identifies the fixed riser needed for mounting. Compare A17CST for a center-strip layout or A17EST for an end-strip layout before ordering.
