Rain Bird PA-8S-PRS-NP — 30 PSI Pressure Regulating Shrub Adapter
The Rain Bird PA-8S-PRS-NP threads onto a 1/2" female NPT riser and accepts any Rain Bird plastic nozzle, so shrub and groundcover zones can run at a steady 30 psi without a separate regulator. The body is molded in purple so a non-potable zone is easy to spot. This page is a 10-pack of the PA-8S-PRS-NP.

Where It Installs
Use the PA-8S-PRS-NP on a 1/2" threaded riser in a shrub or groundcover zone. The built-in PRS stem holds 30 psi at the nozzle so spray nozzles stay in their published pattern instead of misting when the lateral pressure is high. If a nozzle is removed or damaged, the regulator restricts flow. It fits Rain Bird plastic nozzles. It does not include a nozzle.
