Brand: K-Rain SKU: 73001
Product Overview
The K-Rain 73001 is a 3-inch K-Spray pop-up sprinkler body for small turf areas, planting beds, and residential or light-commercial spray zones. It uses a female-threaded riser that accepts compatible male-threaded nozzles, including K-Rain KV adjustable and P fixed-pattern nozzle families.
The body has a nominal 3-inch pop-up stroke, an overall retracted height of approximately 4¾ inches, and a ½-inch female NPT inlet. K-Rain rates the K-Spray family for 20–70 PSI. UV-resistant resin, corrosion-resistant stainless-steel parts, a stainless-steel retraction spring, heavy-duty wiper seal, and ratcheting riser support repeated operation and field alignment.
The watering nozzle is not included. Radius, arc, flow, and precipitation depend on the separately selected male-threaded nozzle and pressure at the head. An optional check valve may be installed when compatible to reduce low-head drainage. Confirm nozzle thread, inlet connection, bury depth, pressure, spacing, and zone flow before installation.
