Brand: Hunter Industries SKU: PCB50
Product Overview
The Hunter PCB-50 is a pressure-compensating flood bubbler that delivers a fixed flow of approximately 0.50 GPM through a 1/2-inch threaded connection. It applies water close to the device for trees, shrubs, large containers, and planting basins where a controlled half-gallon-per-minute discharge is preferred over a wider spray pattern.
Pressure compensation helps maintain a more consistent flow when normal pressure or elevation varies within the irrigation zone. The fixed output simplifies plant-water budgeting and provides twice the nominal flow of the PCB-25 for larger basins, more established plants, or shorter required run times.

Compatibility and Installation Notes
Install on a compatible 1/2-inch threaded riser or fitting. Size the number of bubblers and run time according to plant demand, soil intake rate, basin capacity, and available zone flow. Use appropriate filtration and flush the lateral line before installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between PCB25 and PCB50?
PCB25 delivers approximately 0.25 GPM, while PCB50 delivers approximately 0.50 GPM.
Is the flow adjustable?
No. The PCB-50 provides a fixed pressure-compensated half-gallon-per-minute flow.
Why Buy the Hunter PCB50 from Big Frog Supply?
The PCB50 is the higher-flow threaded bubbler in this group, making it appropriate when a half-gallon-per-minute outlet better matches the plant and basin. Big Frog Supply identifies the flow and connection so it is not confused with the lower-flow PCB25 or female-threaded PCN nozzle.
