Brand: K-Rain SKU: 71201
Product Overview
The K-Rain 71201 is a 12-inch K-Spray pop-up sprinkler body for shrubs, tall groundcover, deep planting beds, and landscape areas where a shorter riser would leave the nozzle below foliage. It uses a female-threaded riser for compatible male-threaded nozzles such as K-Rain KV adjustable and P fixed-pattern models.
The body has a nominal 12-inch pop-up stroke, an overall retracted height of approximately 15¾ inches, and a ½-inch female NPT inlet. K-Rain rates the K-Spray family for 20–70 PSI. The UV-resistant body, corrosion-resistant stainless-steel components, stainless-steel retraction spring, heavy-duty wiper seal, and ratcheting riser are designed for repeated field operation and pattern alignment.
The watering nozzle is not included. The selected nozzle determines radius, arc, flow, and precipitation. Confirm available installation depth and valve-box or planting-bed clearance before ordering, because the retracted body is substantially taller than a standard 3-, 4-, or 6-inch spray. An optional compatible check valve may be used to reduce low-head drainage.
