Rain Bird 2045A Maxi-Paw Pop-Up Impact Sprinkler

The Rain Bird 2045A Maxi-Paw is a professional-grade pop-up impact sprinkler engineered for demanding irrigation environments, particularly those utilizing dirty or reclaimed water. Its core technical advantage is the straight-through flow design, which minimizes pressure loss and allows debris to pass through without clogging the internal mechanism. This hardware is capable of delivering a radius of throw from 22 to 45 feet (6.7 to 13.7 meters), which can be further reduced to 18 feet using the integrated radius reduction screw. The unit supports both full-circle (360°) and part-circle arc adjustment from 20° to 340°, providing high flexibility for various landscape layouts.

Operational specifications include a pressure range of 25 to 60 psi (1.7 to 4.1 bar) and flow rates between 1.5 and 8.4 GPM. Durability is reinforced by a heavy-duty plastic case with a ribbed design and a multi-function, pressure-activated wiper seal that protects the internal assembly during pop-up and retraction. The 2045A includes five standard trajectory and two low-angle color-coded nozzles for matched precipitation rates. For installation versatility, the unit features a combination 1/2″ or 3/4″ female bottom inlet and a 1/2″ female side inlet. Optional features like the Seal-A-Matic (SAM) check valve prevent low-head drainage and soil erosion, making the Maxi-Paw a technical standard for contractors requiring a rugged, serviceable impact sprinkler that ensures uniform water distribution in challenging water conditions.
