Brand: K-Rain SKU: 78002
Product Overview
The K-Rain 78002 is the compact 2-inch Pro-S professional pop-up spray body for shallow turf, narrow planted areas, and replacement locations where a taller riser is not required. It uses a male-threaded riser that accepts compatible female-threaded fixed, adjustable, or rotary nozzles. The body includes a preinstalled flush cap but no watering nozzle, allowing the installer to choose the pattern and radius separately.
Pro-S construction includes a rugged UV-resistant body and cap, a co-molded cartridge-style wiper seal, a heavy-duty retraction spring, and a ratcheting riser for pattern alignment. K-Rain lists the Pro-S body family for 20 to 110 PSI with a 1/2-inch female NPT inlet. The 78002 has approximately 1½ inches of exposed riser travel and an overall retracted body height of about 4⅜ inches.
This is the base model without factory pressure regulation, check valve, nozzle guard, or reclaimed-water identification. Optional Pro-S configurations use model suffixes such as CV, GUARD, PR30, PR40, RCW, or SF. The replaceable riser assembly is designed to fit compatible Rain Bird 1800 Series cans, but the condition and exact body must be verified before retrofit.
