Install the appropriate nozzle filter screen for proper Flow-Shield operation. Its indication stream signals a service need; it is not a complete shutoff.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose a separately identified non-potable model when purple marking is required.

The 16-inch body requires more burial depth than shorter RD1800 models; its bottom-only SAM connection protects against low-head drainage across up to 14 feet of elevation head. Flow-Shield adds a visible service indication, while a separate NP model supplies purple identification when needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Does it include a nozzle?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"No. Select a compatible nozzle and its required screen separately for the intended watering pattern and zone flow.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How much installation depth does it need?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The body is 16 inches tall and the pop-up stroke is 12 inches.
