Rain Bird LSP1TURF Two-Wire Line Surge Protector
Brand: Rain Bird | SKU: LSP1TURF
Product Overview
Add a grounding and surge-protection point to a compatible Rain Bird two-wire decoder path with LSP1TURF. It is a protection component for the field wiring, rather than an addressed device that switches a valve.
Key Features
- Provides line surge protection for compatible decoder systems.
- No decoder address to assign.
- Blue path leads and green/yellow grounding leads.
Common Uses
Adding required protection points on ESP-LXD installations and replacing an existing LSP1TURF in a grounded two-wire system.

-
Grounding: 10 ohms or less, per the LSP1TURF connection drawing.
Compatibility & Installation Notes
Follow the complete controller-system design for protection near the controller, along the path and at applicable path ends. Connect blue leads to the two-wire path and green/yellow leads to the grounding system as shown in the manufacturer drawing, using the specified waterproof splices.
Grounded FD401TURF and FD601TURF decoders can provide built-in line protection at qualifying locations. Check the whole layout before omitting a separate LSP1TURF. Protection depends on correct installation and grounding.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does LSP1TURF control a valve or need an address?
No. LSP1TURF provides line surge protection only and has no decoder address. A field decoder controls the valve.
How often is surge protection required on an ESP-LXD path?
Rain Bird specifies protection and grounding every 500 feet or every eight decoders, whichever comes first. Follow the complete system plan for protection near the controller and at path ends as well.
Do FD401TURF or FD601TURF eliminate separate protectors?
They contain built-in line surge protection, but must be grounded and positioned to satisfy the system requirements. Their presence does not automatically cover every other location along the path.
Why Buy from Big Frog Supply?
Choose LSP1TURF when your two-wire design needs a separate protection point, particularly along sections using FD101TURF, FD102TURF or FD202TURF decoders. Its address-free function adds protection without adding a valve-control address. Count both distance and decoders when planning locations, and check whether a correctly grounded FD401TURF or FD601TURF already serves that point.
