The Rain Bird 1800 Series 12" Pop-Up Spray Head, model number 1812, is a 12-inch pop-up spray head body from Rain Bird's 1800 Series irrigation line. This professional-grade lawn and landscape sprinkler is often used in in-ground irrigation systems. The rising stem lets the sprinkelr spray water over landscaped areas then retracts flush with the ground when off. The Rain Bird 1812 is typically installed near residential lawns, commercial landscapes with flat terrain, or near walkway or border areas, where a tall pop-up is preferred.
