Brand: Hunter Industries SKU: PCN-50
Product Overview
The Hunter PCN-50 is a pressure-compensating bubbler nozzle that delivers a fixed flow of approximately 0.50 GPM from a compatible male-threaded spray body or riser. Its close-in flood pattern is intended for trees, shrubs, planting basins, and containers where controlled low-volume application is more appropriate than a conventional spray pattern.
Unlike the PCB-50 bubbler with a 1/2-inch threaded inlet, the PCN-50 is the nozzle-style configuration designed to connect to a compatible spray-body riser. Pressure compensation helps maintain a consistent half-gallon-per-minute output through normal pressure changes within the zone.

Compatibility and Installation Notes
Confirm that the spray body or riser uses the compatible male-threaded nozzle connection. Size station flow from the number of PCN-50 nozzles operating together and confirm that the soil or basin can absorb the applied water without runoff. Use filtration appropriate for the water source.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does PCN50 differ from PCB50?
Both provide approximately 0.50 GPM, but PCN-50 is the female-threaded nozzle-style model for a compatible spray-body riser, while PCB-50 uses a 1/2-inch threaded connection.
Is the flow adjustable?
No. It is a fixed-flow pressure-compensating nozzle.
Why Buy the Hunter PCN50 from Big Frog Supply?
The PCN50 lets an installer use a compatible spray body as a controlled half-gallon-per-minute bubbler outlet. Big Frog Supply explains the nozzle-style connection so buyers can distinguish it from the threaded PCB50 before ordering.
