Brand: Hunter Industries SKU: PROS12PRS40CV
Product Overview
The Hunter PROS-12-PRS40-CV is a 12-inch pop-up sprinkler body with an in-stem regulator set to approximately 40 PSI and a factory-installed drain check valve. The Big Frog Supply SKU is stored as PROS12PRS40CV. Hunter designed the PRS40 platform for compatible MP Rotator nozzles, while the 12-inch riser provides clearance over shrubs, groundcover, and taller plant material. The watering nozzle is sold separately.
The gray cap identifies the PRS40 configuration. The factory check valve helps hold water in the lateral line for elevation differences up to approximately 14 feet, reducing low-head drainage after the irrigation zone shuts off. A co-molded wiper seal, heavy-duty retraction spring, ratcheting riser, and directional flush plug support reliable installation and service.
