Rain Bird 1804 Spray Head with 15van Nozzle; 0° to 360° Adjustable; 15' Radius (Pack of 5)

Sprinkler heads are pefrect to replace okd heads.

works well. quality product

The media could not be loaded. I recently purchased the Rain Bird 1804 Spray Head with 15van Nozzle for a simple sprinkler replacement. The package includes five spray heads with adjustable nozzles ranging from 0° to 360° and a 15-foot radius. The nozzles and filters are included but not pre-installed, which could be a hassle for some.One downside is the lack of instructions. There were no guidelines provided, which suggests the manufacturers assume it's a straightforward installation. For someone without experience, this could be a bit frustrating.On the bright side, it’s an affordable and basic solution. Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done if you need a quick and cheap replacement for your sprinkler system. However, a little more guidance would have been appreciated to make the process smoother.

Good water coverage. Easy to install.. got them fast seems to be good quality product

Have these as part backups

Very easy to install works good and adjustable water pattern saves me money.. the fittings fit perfectly no leakages its a must I did buy it twice

I did a similar comparison to a true RainBird 1804 head and the differences are subtle but definitely there. First, as mentioned in another comment, the lip, on the body, that you screw the cap down to, is thinner on these. The overall length of the body is ever so slightly shorter (maybe 1/64th") on these which causes the nozzle to stick up very slightly higher when retracted. If you remove the cap and riser from the body and look down at the inside at the 1/2" female threads at the base, these have four support flanges around the base connection, RainBird has eight.I actually tested all five of these alongside an authentic 1804, on a tall shrub riser in my system.In truth, I had no issues with the function of any of these (brand new) units or their spray heads. Of course, my test was conducted on a "sterile", above ground, extended riser, not down in the mud and grass roots where these heads are designed to perform. I did not have a "15 HE-VAN" nozzle to compare them to, but they functioned comparably, in spray and range, to a "15 VAN" nozzle. The threads are correct for interchangeability with true RainBird nozzles. All units popped up to the expected 4" height and retracted as expected. I have to say, visually and functionally, these are very accurate forgeries.My concerns are these. Did the manufacturer use UV stabilized plastic and stainless steel springs (I'll know the answer to both of these questions a year from now). Further, the RainBird 1800 series is famous for its patented co-molded wiper seal which clears debris at pop-down. Did the forger bother to duplicate this feature as well. Only time will tell.While my units all worked well out of the box, I fear that, in a year or two, I may regret this purchase when I start having to replace these heads again.

Easy to use
