Rain Bird PVC valve fitting 1282-010 - connector with seal - 1-inch M to 1-inch M

Connector for Rain Bird valve manifolds

The Rain Bird RB1282-010 is a compact PVC connector with seal for the modular Rain Bird valve manifold system. With 1-inch male threads on both sides, it allows compatible components with 1-inch female threads to be connected directly within your irrigation system.

The connector belongs to the Rain Bird RB1200 Series and is suitable for building, extending and adapting valve assemblies in residential and commercial irrigation systems.

1-inch male thread to 1-inch male thread

The RB1282-010 features a 1-inch male thread on both sides. This allows two compatible components with 1-inch female threads to be connected while maintaining the same 1-inch connection size throughout the assembly.

Its compact design requires very little installation space, making the connector particularly suitable for valve assemblies installed inside valve boxes.

With O-ring for reliable sealing

The Rain Bird RB1282-010 is used with an appropriate O-ring seal. The Rain Bird PVC manifold system uses large O-rings to provide reliable sealing at the designated system connections while simplifying installation.

The corresponding manifold components can be hand-tightened and loosened again for maintenance. No additional Teflon tape is required on the designated O-ring-sealed system connections.

Modular system for easy maintenance

The RB1282-010 is part of the telescoping Rain Bird PVC manifold system. The system allows irrigation valves with different installation lengths to be replaced without cutting the existing pipework or adding additional connection parts.

Together with valve manifolds, tees, crosses, elbows and other adapters, the connector allows you to configure your valve assembly to suit the irrigation valves and pipe connections used in your system and expand it later if required.
